Painted floors! I have a weakness for painted floors. I love the sophisticated or relaxed look of it, it evokes country side and ease, but at the same time I can see it at an old castle.ImageI love white floor boards, Swedish design often relies on it, but also the intricate designs by skilled artisans to faux finish a floor to perfection.ImageThere are endless possibilities and the only thing that stops me from painting my floors light is the fact that my dog is black and sheds more then I like! And more over, my children are in and out year round, tracking their boots into the front door and way more often into the family room. It would be a nightmare!But I love them...ImageImage
Look at these wonderfully painted stairs!Done by Karen Oakley, a faux finish painter with incredible talent! She lives in Mystic, CT. If you are lucky it's your neighborhood...Or these ones!They can be such fun too.ImageAnd these add some flair to a bathroom, which would otherwise look like any other!
ImageBut honestly, a white painted floor is just wonderful!
ImageMy floors certainly could use some serious refreshing, I might just paint them! Perhaps a sophisticated muddy gray?What is your take on it?
