Monday Musings...Painted Floors (and stairs)

I saw these stairs the other day and fell in love with the idea of painting a faux stair runner! I've always loved painted floors but been afraid to "ruin" beautiful hardwood floors, so painted stairs might just be my perfect compromise (and I have a few patterns from Haymarket Designs that I'd love to try out!)

Here are some of my favorite painted floors that I've been saving in my files
(sorry I've had some for a long time and don't have the sources for all of them!)

And here are a few other painted stairs I found... I like the solid color look too!

  1. I love painted floors in an entryway or mudroom. I haven't seen painted floors in other rooms very much but if done well I think it can be a very unique look! Great pics.

  2. I have only seen this in pictures until my mother did it on her stairs. I was sceptical but it turned out fabulous! If you try it, be sure to share so we can see! I love your blog and your products!

  3. I like painted floors too--it's always such a surprise in a room! I've never seen painted stairs, and could barely even tell that was paint in the first picture and not an actual runner, cool!
