Leaving that stripe of wood? ...Bee-u-tee-ful!!!!! Leaving that stripe of wood? Total genius. I want to take up the carpet in my craft room and paint the cement. My daughter and I bought this house and live together. She says no. I'm also totally into grey! Want to do a wall in the living room grey. Daughter says no. Just give me time. One of these no's will become a yes! You give me confidence!

I like a painted wood floor, too. <br /><br />Yes, oil-based paints smell and they dry slowly, but they have properties water-based ones don't. Unfortunately, some states won't even allow them to be sold anymore. <br /><br />Bon voyage!Barbara Pilcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08813766833112344912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1239260988309861926.post-10429002635072934652012-10-29T11:34:36.416-07:002012-10-29T11:34:36.416-07:00Jenn, they look beautiful!!

I love the stripe of natural wood. The grey is so pretty, this is adding like such a dramatic focal point to the room. Its all about layers. Yay!! Love that you did this, I have always wanted to have some painted floors too, but it just never worked out for us. I will live vicariously through you:)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05459211820940379244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1239260988309861926.post-63033753819631894612012-10-29T11:08:38.419-07:002012-10-29T11:08:38.419-07:00Wow, looks fantastic.

I have been iffy about Behr paint throughout the years, but lately I am lovely the quality. We used their concrete paint on our front steps and the coverage was awesome. I was so nervous but two coats went on perfectly.casacaudillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17737547597204258314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1239260988309861926.post-36567369859958078552012-10-29T09:45:49.108-07:002012-10-29T09:45:49.108-07:00Looks amazing!
