I have been working on this amazing floor painting commission this month. This is a kitchen, an eat-in area and den, about 300 sq/ft. The original floor was white linolieum, and my client was looking for something exciting and inspiring. The pattern was taken from a couch textile design, lots of colours and patterns. I have put together a little photo album here (or click on the icon in the left colomn) of before and after images, and textile example. Instructions for linoleum paiting came from here. The process is: clean, sand, prime a few coats, then paint the pattern (I used good quality house paints) and the about 6 coats of varathane. It has been a super challenge to do this work, and the results are pretty incredible.
