Today, I finished my floors. Oh my…this past week was one of the longest of my life. I was beginning to think it would never end. But in fact, it is finished. Wow…that just feels good to say (or, to type).

So here’s how the design on my living room floor turned out:

Once I got all of the painting finished and the thousands of touch-ups taken care of, the design still seems a bit…blah. It just seemed to need a little more umph. And then, I remember this guy, and the power of a Sharpie marker. So, I went to the store, purchased a couple of Sharpies, and got to work on my floor, outlining everything with black. It took about three hours to outline everything, but it did the trick. I love the design, and the black really seemed to bring it to life. I know you can’t really see it in the pic (sadly). But hey…you’ll just have to come visit!

Well, obviously one of the next jobs will be replacing baseboards, but I think I’ll rest a little first.

So the other day, after posting the pic of my living room floor before the tape was removed, I had someone ask, “Is that supposed to be like a rug?” Then yesterday, while I was working on the floor, my parents came to see my progress. My mom commented on the uneven edge on the far side, and I explained that I painted it that way to perfectly contour around the built-ins that will go there. She replied, “Wouldn’t it look more like a rug if it was straight?”

You know, it certainly would. However, I don’t really think my goal was to make it look like something. I mean, let’s face it…there’s no disguising the fact that it’s a painted concrete floor. I never meant for it to look like a rug, and I certainly never thought I was going to fool anyone into thinking it was a rug.

To be quite honest, I don’t really like things that are meant to look like something else. Faux finishes? Nope. (Now decorative painting is another thing.) Trompe L’oeil? I’m not a fan. Murals? I could do without.

So my goal was just to bring some visual interest to the floor without having to use an area rug. Trust me, with a big black dog and two furry cats in 800 square feet, I need cleaning to be as easy as possible.

Well, I’m certainly glad this week is over. Tomorrow will be back to business as usual, and I really look forward to posting about something other than my floors!!

Happy decorating!

This has been the never-ending project. I’m exhausted, and my hands are so sore.

Yesterday (Friday) I went to the condo and pulled up the tape on the floor to reveal my “area rug” design in the living room. I was very pleased, but the tape pulled up some of the base color, so now I have about a thousand little touch-ups to do. I stayed for a while to do some of them, but honestly, I was too exhausted to continue, so I took the rest of the day off and took a much-needed nap.

I’m about to head over now and finish up. I’m excited to be finished with the painting today, and to be ready to do the clear top coat tomorrow. I’ll share a photo with you later today.

Happy decorating,

P.S.–Did I mention that my cabinets are NOT staying the color they are now? I just looked at the photos, and realized how TERRIBLE the floor color and cabinet color looks together. I just didn’t want y’all to think I’ve lost my mind!! After this weekend, literally the ONLY project that will be finished is my floor. I have a long way to go!!!
