  4. Kerry says:

    What a great colour choice for the kitchen floor! I absolutely love it! So glad you decided to go for it!

  5. Elisa @ What the Vita says:

    Gorgeous – your cute knobs really pop now!

    Why is it impossible to find oil paint in NY? Is there a law against it or something?

  6. Kate says:

    It looks gorgeous! What a bold move — it definitely paid off!

  7. Hilary Dow-Ward says:

    WOW, I'm so excited for you. What a wonderful design choice. Also-looking forward to seeing your bed once it is finished.
    What kind of counter tops do you have? I see they're black, are they stone?

  8. Mrs. Chic says:

    Wow so much fun, what a pretty color choice!! Are oil-base paints against the law in NY ?

  9. Cassie @ Primitive & Proper says:

    i avsolutely love it! i have been contemplating painting my floors, and you are swinging me in that direction!

  11. High-Heeled Foot in the door says:

    So happy you guys are loving it.

    Due to green laws you can't buy oil-based paint in NY.

    Oil-based paint is really the best choice though for painting something that is heavy traffic.

    The kitchen was actually a complete gut job so everything is new in there. I wanted soapstone countertops, but we ran out of money. So we used laminate from IKEA for $130!! So an inexpensive fix that gives me the look I wanted while we save $$$ for the soapstone.

  12. Suzanne@Meridian Road says:

    I LOVE IT! That's my favorite color!

  13. Style Chronicle says:

    Fabulous!!! I can't believe you have taken on all these painting projects yourself. Way to go!! Those painted floors give the kitchen new life and remind me of Tory Burch's kitchen floors. Tres chic!!

  14. Elena says:

    Omg, I absolutely love it!!! I adore the color and it looks fab against the white cabinets. Nice work!

  15. liz @ bon temps beignet says:

    OH MY GAWD. Love it!

    Btw, is that table cloth by Waverly? I bought an under-bed storage container from Burlington that has the same exact color and pattern.

  16. The Brick Cottage says:

    Love, love, love, LOVE! I wish I was much more articulate so I could really express how much I LOVE IT! Gosh, LOVE!

  17. sherry says:

    I am breathless with that color!!! You are the second blogger who has painted their floors, so now I am getting inspired! I have to wait for my husband to go back out of town so I can do it. He get's nervous when I start projects :}
    It does look fabulous though……

  18. PS~Erin says:

    LOOKS AWESOME!!! Love this look and the color!!! I love our painted kitchen floor, but I think it would look even better on the planks.

    Is your sink Ikea by chance? Been contemplating one similar from there and would love a rec. Thanks!

  19. Lissa @ After Adornment says:

    Love That color! Can't wait to hear about the steps…I would have been scared too! It seems like such a huge project. Turned out Great!

    OMG is this for real?!?! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! It looks AMAZING!

  25. Chic Geek says:

    LOVE it. It looks so fresh and beachy! It seems like it also pulls on the color that you painted your dining room chairs. Cute, cute!

  26. Emily W. says:

    I LOVE IT. I am a nut for turquoise anything. It just looks so bright and cheerful, yet cool and calm at the same time.

  27. MyLittleHappyPlace says:

    Awesome! Can't believe you can't buy oil-based paint! Maybe marine paint? It's incredibly heavy-duty, and NYC IS surrounded by water!

  28. Bryn says:

    I've been researching painting my linoleum kitchen floors… I'm excited to hear your process!

  29. my favorite and my best says:

  32. micah @ the yellow front door says:

  36. sara says:

    Wow, it looks great, I love the color!

  37. charm home says:

    It looks so great. I love the turquoise color. I want to do this with my kitchen and entry floors so badly but I'm worried about the resale and what other buyers that don't "get" a painted floor will think. Good for you for painting it though.

  38. Teresa Hatfield says:

    I love your newly painted floor. What a great job you did! Beautiful color.
    Thanks for stopping by.

    Stepping into a project like this you should be rewarded. I can only imagine what you went through before you actually took the jump….and don't you just love when it turns out perfect!! Or even more perfect than you thought!
    BTW – I saw the paint on the "butt" pic….I would be green from head to toe!!

    Hi Camila, I came to your blog through Johns Journal who's home you are featuring this week & I am so glad I did!
    What a fabulous blog! I am so impressed with your new kitchen floor!
    I just wanted to ask where you got your coffee table from? It is exactly what I have been looking for…and I am really hoping they ship to the UK!

  56. jackie says:

    Hi Camila! I found you through Design Sponge's article on your painted floors. I was actually wondering where you got your white Kitchen Island with the drop leaf? I've been looking for one similar to it. Any help would be great. Thanks!

  57. cara @ CGC says:

    This is fantastic and you’ve just inspired me to paint our balcony floor, since our lil’ pup did some damage to it!
    Lovely finding you!

ON THE BLOG

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.

Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.

On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.

HOW-TO-MAKE-AN-EASY-DIY-OUTDOOR-MOVIE-SCREEN-WITH-STAND

Fall is the perfect season to host an outdoor movie night in your backyard! It’s that time of year when outdoor furniture is still outside and it gets dark earlier than the summer which means your little kiddos can enjoy the movie night as well. It’s so nice to transform your backyard with cozy blankets, […]

round up of budget friendly bar carts

Can you believe it’s already November? Before we know it Thanks No. 1 Modern bar cart with patterned sides that looks great as is, but would also look amazing painted a pop of color! Plus it’s only $157. No. 2 This lucite bar cart is a personal favorite of mine. Look at those chic lines! […]

For the longest time our backyard was mainly just grass and a little small area where we laid down some pavers so that we could set out a little plastic table/chairs during the summer. Not exactly ideal for entertaining. For the past couple of years we have wanted to build a deck and enjoy the […]
