In the meantime, here is the other project we're working on...
Our Spare Bedroom. As visitors to our house will know, this room was the office since February 2008 - the goal ultimately (and was achieved) was to reno the basement to be a full studio for me (Lindsay) and we'd turn this room back into a sleeping quarters. There are a few unanswered design problems that we have with this room. One of those being the floor. (And yes, that ugly light fixture which we haven't taken down)
This is a picture from last year, when we moved in and we did a simple paint job. Nothing was touched, it was a quick pick-me-up for the room. The floors are untouched, the original wood floors from the house, and they are sad. :(
Issues # 1 is the floor. We could carpet the floor or the other option is to paint the floor. I've seen some gorgeous pictures of painted wood floors and I'm thinking I may be adventourous enough for this room. Here are some inspirational pictures...
I'm thinking of a white floor, with light gray stripes.
My thought process is this - we're never going to "refinish/stain" these floors, as they are on their last legs for sanding. So if I paint the floors, I'm not eliminating an option. The carpeting STILL can be done if I end up hating the painted floor look...or as I've said...when we want to invest that $ into a carpet, we can do that down the road.
Fingers crossed it works.
