Painting hardwood floors?

Typically I'm all about natural hardwood floors and cringe at the thought of painting them.
But this makes me completely reconsider.


It also makes me want to paint the inside of our cabinets.
Would you ever paint your hardwood floors?

  1. We almost did this. The 85+ year old hardwood floors in our house needed to be refinished in a bad way. We tried to finish them, but it didn't turn out right and the wood was so thin and splitting. We were going to paint them white (LOVE how that looks!) but with three dogs we decided that would't be the smartest thing to do. We ended up having to replace the floors.

  2. Omg. As someone who just spent the last 3 weeks trying to get paint OFF of hardwood floors, you're giving me nightmaressss!!! Hah. But in all seriousness, I think it can look really nice (like the photo you've shown above), if it's done right. Check THESE out also. http://itsgreattobehome.net/2010/05/05/painted-floors/

  3. Yep, in the right room/house, I would paint them. Especially if they weren't in great condition - I love the look of high-gloss white floors...YUM!

  4. It depends on the wood. If I thought the wood could take the paint and the eventual removal of the paint I would.

  5. I definitely love this look! I take great comfort in the fact that if we screw up the floor refinishing we're attempting, this is a good second option :)

  7. I would totally paint hardwood floors. Of course it depends on the house and the room, etc. But I would consider it :)
    I also LOVE that they painted the inside of the cabinets that bright green. I totally want to do that now, in my future kitchen.
