  • Kitchen Floor BEFORE-I've had this floor for almost 20 years.  It was not in my budget to replace it. I had seen people paint their wood floors, so I decided to try to paint my vinyl/linoleum floor. 2
  • Before painting with primer--I mopped the floor with a little dish soap, Mr. Clean and warm water.  I rinsed the floor until the water was clean and soap free. This took about 6 moppings. 
After the floor dried, I wiped it down with TSP (Trisodium phosphate). The TSP helps to clean, degrease, and dull the finish of the floor. I used a latex "oops" gray primer.
  • I have 2 cats and a dog.  I used my leaf blower to make sure there were no stray hairs flying around. 1

Drawers in the Steps

Storage in a small, century home is scarce. So, we are making the most of our space by adding storage drawers in the steps. The project didn't really cost us anything except the cost of ...»
