A couple of weeks ago Danika of Gorgeous Shiny Things (who kicks ass by the way) posted about her future kitchen plans, and I fell absolutely in love with one of the images she included. Namely, this one:
Those. floors. I love painted floors even on their worst day - hell, both my entry and bathroom have them - but these rainbow beauties are beyond. The word effervescent comes to mind, doesn't it?! It feels like a bottle of sparkling rosé and a swishy polka dot dress all wrapped into one!
Kate Spade apparently did the same thing in one of her stores in Palm Springs:

Ms. Spade always knows what's up.
And this gorgeous booth from last year's Toronto Interior Design Show (IDS) is just the icing on the sherbet coloured cake:

Ah-mazing.
So what do you think? Love or hate it? If you love it like me, would you have the guts? Would your floors have to be in terrible shape before you'd pick up the brush? Mine are, so best believe I'd be on it already if I had any patience or painters tape luck to my name!
P.S. I can't WAIT for this year's IDS. I've been meaning to go for years, and I'm finally making it happen. So excited to see what gorgeousness they come up with, and to round it all off with a little Winterlicious. Gonna be indulging in goodies of all kinds!
I love how in the first photo, they kept the wood grain as one of stripe colors. So cool -- I wish I had the guts!
ReplyDeleteI love that, and how much pink they used. Those two things cinch it for me :)
DeleteLove it! My grandmother used to do really intricate painted floors that mimicked rug patterns and it looked so cool!
ReplyDeleteThe white totally balances out the rainbow colors and makes the rooms look bright but clean!
Have you posted pics of your own painted floors? Don't remember seeing them.
Oh your grandmother sounds like one stylish lady! One of my posts (this one) showed a bit of my bathroom floors, but they aren't very exciting - just one solid colour. I'm *considering* adding a coronata star pattern to them though . . . we'll see ;)
DeleteI have been thinking about it myself. I am painting my stairs. If not stripes then bright green. Please do a post on how you did it. So fun and great looking
