I stopped by a friend’s house last week, and was excited to see the newly painted striped floors in her sunroom. Of course, I pulled out my phone and started snapping pictures for you. (None of my friends are surprised anymore when I start fluffing their pillows and moving furniture around to get the best shot. . . )
She used two of my favorites—Shoji White and Amazing Gray (Sherwin Williams).
I don’t know about you, but I don’t think I’d ever get tired of a striped floor.
If you’re interested, I blogged about a reader who painted her hardwoods–and what she used–here.
Wow I love this what a great idea!
Love this look – perfect for a porch!
I am not kidding when I say this. I was literally in the middle of writing a post on whether or not I should stain or paint stripes on our playroom floor, when in comes this post on my feed! The timing is unreal and I may just take that as a sign! :) Thanks for sharing these pics!!
Hmmm….I think it’s meant to be. Let us know what you do!
I love this! I picked out striped cork floors for my kitchen, 2 years ago, and still smile when I look at them. http://nate-and-megs.blogspot.com/2013/04/kitchen-tour.html
I just want to curl up on one of those chairs on the porch!
Such a cool floor–love the natural toned stripes. Thanks for sharing.
Boy, does that porch look fresh with those pretty stripes!!! Thanks for taking pictures to inspire us!
Way to go, friend of Emily!!
I just might do this in my bedroom… Love!
Oh I love it. It looks amazing. Hugs, Marty

I love it. So fun!
That sounds exactly like what I do when I go to my friend’s houses!

No :)

Love love love the striped floor!
This is awesome!!!!!
They look fantastic!
I love the stripes! I used Breakthrough on my kitchen floor because of your old post. We did a diagonal checkerboard and had PPG color match for Urbane Bronze and SW Alabaster…love, love, love it! That paint is amazing and cleans up really well. We did no sanding, priming, or sealing. I was skeptical but our wood floors were in terrible shape and we were willing to give it a go before replacing it. It’s been about 6 months and so far so good. Thanks for sharing!!! Such a great product I never would have known existed without your blog.

I love the floor. So pretty!
Just wondering which paint we are seeing in the “Esther” piece as she mentions 2 different companies. Porter and Benjamin Moore. thank you
Breakthrough paint is made by Porter, and can be purchased at a Porter store. The color used, however, was a Benjamin Moore paint color that they matched for me at the Porter store :)
