I really love the look of the white floors – they just brighten up the rooms so much.

I want to paint my floors white too. My husband says he’s on board. Let’s do it!

Daffodil: You can kind of see the transition in this picture. The floor in the room I painted is actually the original pink plank floor, and the strip flooring in the hallway and other bedrooms was laid on top of it. I have no idea why the strip floor wasn't continued into the back of the house, but I suspect it was installed during the house's brief life as a 2-family (because the outlets were in the middle of the walls and there were a few linoleum remnants in the closet, we assume that room was an upstairs kitchen once upon a time). Anyway, the last piece of the strip flooring in the hallway is slightly beveled, making a smooth transition to the back room. I have no idea why that area is stained darker than the rest of the floor -- I didn't do that! There's also paint splattered all over place -- again, not from me! :)

Love white floors–and not only for wood. We have 70s textured linoleum at the cottage and are thinking of painting them glossy white. I envision the same look as the photos you posted…but we’ll see…

Let me know how the “willing” things works out. I’d like to try it here.

Sorry, follow up question – with just one room having white floors, how did you handle the transition to the rest of the flooring ? Is there a door sill, or just a clean line ?

Our floors are already stained and damaged in the original house, so no concerns about covering them up. My one hesitation is, we went through a great deal of trouble to pick out wood floors for our addition that would match the rest of the (one level) house to help with the flow. Those floors are new, and in great shape. I would hate to paint those !!!!!!!! I am afraid that if I left them natural wood, it would draw attention to the fact that the addition is “new” and different. (sigh) These are good problems to have – but problems nonetheless.

Kim, start Googling Vincent Gallo and reading interviews with him (try throwing in the words “underage” or “politics” when you search for extra fun), and it’ll be clear pretty quickly!! I loved Buffalo 66, but the interest (for me) ends there.

Thank you for that link! And yes, the first photo is great – perfectly worn. :)

The first photo has some damage on the floor and it looks fine. I kind of like the idea of having some traffic marks. (Except on my garage floor where it looks dirty)

Why is Vincent Gallo repellant? just curious

Vincent Gallo is repellant, but hooray for Eva Herzigova, Grace Jones, and white floors!!

The white floors are fabulous, particularly if they are done properly and in the right space. My wood floors aren’t anything fancy to look at and will need some care when I get to that part of my very, very long list. I would imagine that white floors also great a sense of space that that would work in smaller rooms.

i like regular wooden floors, although looking at these white floors IS super refreshing! i just can’t imagine how dirty they would get…it adds character, right?

I love white floors. I have white floors in my current home and next week I’ll be moving to a teeny tiny 22 square meter apartment that also has white floors.

I have big(-ish) dogs that often have dirty paws because I’m too lazy to clean them up everytime we get in. You can see that by looking at my floor.
BUT the light white floors bring in to a small apartment is so fantastic I don’t even care about some muddy paw prints or the damage nails do to a painted surface!

I can always paint the floors again and it’s much more easier and cheaper than re-do parquet floors.
