the kitchen floor

This post is dedicated to our kitchen floors. Somehow, our worn out, cracked and stained linoleum just isn't cuttin' it for me. Weird, right? These floors are so beautiful. We're nervous, but we're going to pull up the linoleum and see what's underneath. We know there's wood, but we're not sure of the state of the wood. Regardless, I'm painting the floors like the above pics. The first one is the smallest portion of floor, but it's so lovely. Now, we just need to figure out how to protect the paint once it's on the floor. I don't want to be repainting every year!
