Diy - Painted Designs On Floor

Thanks as well as then much for your comments on my terminal post, you lot made me express joy as well as then much! I idea I was the only i going through sleepless nights but I'm sure as shooting non alone, many of us convey to suffer our husband's nightly musical concerts.  :)
But OK, let's proceed amongst this snoring room makeover!

This is how the room looked later changing the color on the walls, my adjacent pace was dealing amongst the yucky carpet!  I intend fourteen years of adept purpose were enough, I don't intend I couldn't convey cleaned it to a decent condition.

So, I decided to acquire rid of it. I was hoping for a ameliorate looking sub-floor, but no, I inherited OSB, all the forest flake pieces become far await messy. :/

Once the carpet was out you're left amongst gripper strips all roughly the room. Removing them is slowly amongst a pry bar.

Pliers are the perfect tool to take away the staples.

I didn't desire to pass much coin inwards this room makeover, this room would serve equally a guinea hog for what I desire to practise amongst all the floors inwards the rooms upstairs. I know I desire them all amongst hardwood floors but again, at this 2nd is impossible, I don't convey that money.
Since this is a pocket-sized room I idea of trying something inexpensive that await similar hardwood floors, something similar the plywood floors HERE, they await great! For my room I needed at to the lowest degree 4 sheets of plywood as well as all inwards all the cost would convey reached to almost $200. Still also much coin for something I mightiness live getting rid of inwards a duad years.
Not happy to pass that form of coin on those floors I took the determination of icon the sub-floor.
Using my Sonicrafter I created pocket-sized grooves, trying to create the await of flooring planks. I didn't become also deep.
The holes where covered amongst forest filler as well as everything was sanded pretty well.

Then I went roughly the identify searching for paint. I had only a quart on the color I liked, as well as then my floors only got i coat of paint, as well as it is non flooring paint, it's simply regular wall paint.
The extra grooves don't demo that much, equally you lot tin meet inwards the pic below.
It looks white-ish inwards this pic, but it's to a greater extent than similar a taupe color. Anyhow, it was also plain, as well as the rumbled texture from the forest chips was the most noticeable thing.
I was thinking on icon some stripes, but the forest flake pattern was going to live what the oculus was going to grab get-go fifty-fifty amongst uncomplicated stripes.

Then, land walking through my dining room, the Mohawk rug I had inwards at that topographic point gave me the inspiration to become as well as pigment some of the designs the carpet has.
Using tracing paper, 3 of the designs were copied as well as transferred on contact paper, using an X-acto knife the designs were cutting out.

It feels form of crazy peeling off the plastic textile from the newspaper for the get-go time, it tends to scroll as well as it looks rattling messy. The swell affair almost Contact newspaper is, it sticks, but you lot tin carve upwards it without damaging it. Once that battle is over, the templates are going to await similar this on the floor.

I used regular white acrylic pigment to fill upwards inwards the designs amongst a sponge brush.

Peeling off the Contact newspaper as well as placing it on a novel spot was non a work from the 2nd fourth dimension on, it didn't scroll whatsoever longer, as well as it adhered nicely every time.

The blueprint I had the most problem amongst was the leaf. Mostly sparse lines, it ever required to a greater extent than fourth dimension to educate it inwards place. The i I liked the most was the circles flower, slowly pattern to cutting out as well as to paint.

Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 pocket-sized brush was used to delineate all roughly on ii of the figures.

At the end, the oculus didn't plow whatsoever longer to the forest flake pattern but to the bloom designs. :)

The only affair remaining was to seal it off, as well as for that I used Rust-Oleum Ultimate Polyurethane inwards a satin finish. The other container is the color I used to pigment the entire floor, a pocket-sized sum of white pigment was added, also black for my liking.

The polyurethane gives it a overnice sheen as well as it feels polish amongst texture, without feeling rough.

Since I used everything I had on hand, it's cost was roughly $10, the cost for the quart of polyurethane. And I am counting on it to maintain the pigment inwards place.
Of course of written report I don't recommend the materials I used, specially if it's for a highly used floor. In my case, nosotros don't purpose this room much as well as this is a temporarily solution.

I'll maintain you lot updated on how it wears.

Thanks for stopping by!
