Painting a fake wood kitchen floor
I like the look of a painted floor, but am wondering how to best to cover the fake kitchen floor we inherited when we bought our cottage. It's the stuff bought in sheets, I think. We've remodeled the kitchen and it looks wonderful - but what to do with the floor? It doesn't match the adjoining living room wood floor, anyway.

We laid plywood and painted it with outdoor porch floor paint. Be sure to use the same color primer as you will get scratches and it will take on a distressed look. You can also stencil the ply. It got us through our 2 and a home based daycare til we could afford to refinish the real hard wood floors. Be sure to use screws so it will be easier to take up when you can.

I had fifty year old linoleum that as yuck . . . cleaned it with ammonia to get all the old wax off. Then lightly sanded it. Used Zinnsner's paint for first coat. Then laid out squares with painter's tape and sponge painted black and white squares with water based paint. It takes awhile to dry, but it's been down there for four years and still looks like new. However, white is not the greatest color for a floor because it shows everything! Happy Decorating! Annie Sloan chalk paint also has a floor sealer that I plan to use on the patio. Just haven' gotten that far yet. susen
