This painted floor immediately caught my eye! Perhaps I've found the cure for not being able to afford the Madeleine Weinrib carpet I love - paint and stencils! Normally I'd shy away from something like this but I really love this effect. I could see this in a bedroom or a home office. {Insert airy white linens and some turquose accents...}

I'd be a little nervous to actually put that first coat of paint on. Have you/would you ever paint your floor? Ever try a pattern? I'm anxious to hear what you think!
