So my first project for the school holidays was to paint my very daggy kitchen and living room floors. They are made from old cork tiles and whilst I have painted them before I have never been quite so adventurous and always stuck to one colour. I figured since I had some time on my hands that I would be a bit ambitious and paint my own designer floor.
I'm so happy with how it has turned out! Let me tell you that I completely underestimated the whole process, thinking that I could knock this out in two days.....It actually ended up taking about 5 days and some very late nights. Sometimes things just don't work the way they should or I guess how you think they should and there was a lot of trial and even more error during the process. Stencils falling apart, paint seeping under the stencil, paint drying too quickly (or me working too slowly) , having to break up the pattern into many pieces so that stencils weren't placed on wet paint, Clive's print appearing from nowhere, and sometimes my footprints appearing from nowhere. Anyway I got there in the end and am loving the new look, I'm even keeping it extra clean cos its' just too gorgeous to get dirty.
