Shank,
the stain looks really nice & the look is exactly i wanted. here are few pics of the small showroom area we stain last year. lighting is important too.

shank: a great traditional look is the checkerboard pattern.

however, not in black and white, yet a cream and white.

Please suggest a type of flooring that will help give a "traditional
look"

What about a nice slate floor? Not cheap, but it would be durable, have some traction and look fantastic.

Doesn't slate fracture if you drop something heavy and hard on it? (i.e: floor jack, sledge hammer, etc..)

Not yet. The guy is going to put on a gloss sealer today. Here is a shot I took of the floor after the stain was removed. It is dull, but you can get a good idea of how it will look.

When this has a gloss finish to it, I think it will be awesome.

yes & u probably have to. but even after sealer the paint will still come off a little bit. i didn't choose to go with heavy clearcoat because it will come off if ur tires are too hot going home. it'll be dull although it looks very nice when it's shiny.
