Lacey Bedroom Makeover

Dana and Brooks of Bella Tucker Finishes wanted a major floor renovation to their guest bedroom makeover. They turned to stenciling the concrete because carpet was too underwhelming. They happily ripped out the carpeting and stenciled our popular Skylar’s Lace Floral Stencil with Old White and Duck Egg Blue Chalk Paint® decorative paint by Annie Sloan. They then top coated the floor with a flat varnish. Be sure to check out our full post on their stenciled concrete floor project – we chalk it up to another stencil success!

Postcards from the Ridge was in the process of reclaiming a studio/craft room that had the original 1960’s flooring. It needed some style added to it and a stencil was the perfect way to get it. She chose our Large Moorish Trellis Stencil to mimic the Moroccan patterned rugs that are so popular right now. For an added pop of personality for her stenciled concrete floor finish, she added blue to the details of the stencil pattern. How unique! She saved money on painting her own concrete floor rug with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and said, “It looks just as good, better actually, than anything I’ve seen in a catalog. It’s completely washable, and you can paint it any color you want!”

Now that we have you thoroughly inspired, here are some tips for painting and stenciling concrete floors:

  • Make sure that your concrete surface is totally clean and free from dust, dirt, grease and any adhesive residue.
  • If you have removed carpet or linoleum from you concrete floor and are left with some adhesive residue,Franmar makes an amazing soy-based mastic remover that is easy to use and environmentally friendly.
  • Thoroughly clean your concrete surface. We like to use clean concrete with Simple Green. Use a scrub brush to get into the pores and rinse multiple times. Use a wet/dry Shop Vac to vacumm up excess water and let the concrete surface dry out well.
  • Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan is easy to use, both for base coating and stenciling. It covers well and dries fast. For interior projects seal the Chalk Paint® with two coat of Annie Sloan Lacquer. This low solid, water-based topcoat combined with Chalk Paint® creates a highly durable floor surface that will last for many years! Top coating is NOT recommended for exterior projects. Simply let the Chalk Paint® cure for a week and it will be quite durable.
  • If you don’t want to go the Chalk Paint® route, both Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams make high quality floor and porch paint. DIY blogging diva Mandi Gubler of Vintage Revivals has a great post that walks you through her process for painting concrete floors with Sherwin Williams paint products.
