THYME for a sunroom makeover

I decided to go with an 

AMERICANA

theme throughout my home

so I decided to start by painting my sunroom floor

I had painted the brown and gold checks on the floor 

when we first bought the house 

after ripping out the carpet that was there

I first roughed up the floor by sanding it with an electric sander

I then proceeded to tape off my design

In order for my floors to with stand the heavy

wear that they would be subjected to in the sunroom

I used a poly whey additive to make the paint more durable for floors

The product I used 

was

 from

Vermont Natural Coatings

and

 is

 called

Paint Plus with Poly Whey Additive

I painted the field and stars first

I then did the RED stripes

That way I could walk across the floor while the paint

 was still wet in the areas that would

 become the 

WHITE stripes

I finished my floors with

4 coats of

Aqua Zar

Interior Water Based Polyurethane

in 

CLEAR SATIN

I spray painted all my 

WHITE wicker RED

here are some daylight pictures

I used a stencil to do some of the pillow fronts

My finished room!

I love the new summery look!

Happy Painting!

"Each day is a new canvas to paint upon. 

Make sure your picture is full of life and happiness, 

and 

at the end of the day you don't look at it 

and 

wish you had painted something different."
