I 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.

There 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...
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.
And these add some flair to a bathroom, which would otherwise look like any other!
But honestly, a white painted floor is just wonderful!
My floors certainly could use some serious refreshing, I might just paint them! Perhaps a sophisticated muddy gray?
What is your take on it?

A friend of mine painted leopard going up her stairs, on the risers and I love the way it looks. I love painted floors and years ago painted a compass rose in a beach house for a client.

ReplyDeleteMy dear Victoria, I have a slight pet aversion for laminate floor because they look so uncomfortable for the British weather (cold and damp). I think painted floor seems to be a good solution. Thank you so much for your lovely comment in my recent post.
ReplyDeleteI love painted floors as well. They add such warmth!Great examples!
