Painting the floor

Painting the floor

I love the look of a painted floor! Large stripes, zig zags and even modern patterns are some of the more popular choices that I have seen.  I tend to think of a painted floor as more of a fit for a home that is more on the cottage, beachy  or Shabby Chic side of design.  But, painted floors can also be chic and modern!  Who needs a rug when you can hand paint any design, style and color to fit your home and decor.
