New flooring

Slate floors , will they be the choice for my entry way ?? , well I do love them , I have purchased one box of Indian Slate , I am thinking of the brick pattern but I would like to do an insert of some kind , something of a detail , I am all about the details, which is why I do not go for a modern look too simple for me . The slate I have chosen is all deep grey no gold tones at all.

Do you have slate floors any where , what is your opinion? I have a slate surround around my fireplace and as a detail in my back splash , so it does refer back , as well I believe it is a good resale material .

I am off to the tile store to source some detail, trying something new , tiling a floor , what could be next.
