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!

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."
