Summer Inspiration: Paint A Patterned Floor

052609_floor.jpgHaving spent the weekend lounging around in the park, at the beach and by a pool, my mind is still outside. The wall to wall underfoot hardly registers as I tap tap tap away on the keyboard. So running across this image of a brightly painted floor of foliage made me think of deck floors, bathroom floors, entryways and kitchens. Instead of a bold rug or bold walls, go with a bold floor:

 
 

A good DIY for people who already have painted floors. To get a similar look make sure to start with a glossy white floor and then get creative with organic shapes in 5 shades of green. I'd love to see something like this on a small deck or a bright entryway.

And if you love the color palette of white, black and green check out the blog door sixteen for lots of the minimal but fun palette.

Painting the back patio has been on my to-do list for a while. I like the example above, though I would paint the background brown to hide dirt.
