Can I paint over a stained wood floor? I want to stain an old floor then stencil it.
Thanks

Hi Rebecca, You sure can. Give the floor a light sanding to scuff up any varnish. Vacuum then wipe down with damp mop. Apply a primer, then when dry...paint away. You may want to use a porch paint as it will hold up longer without needing a topcoat. After painting and stenciling, you can sand areas to make it look older, like it's been there forever.
You will need to use a primer first and then add your paint. If there is a sealer on the top you will need to sand that back.

Good luck!
Yes, if the floor is stained you can stencil with paint over it. It's a fabulous look!!!
Yes! You can! Here's a floor I painted and stenciled. It's holding up very well! https://www.hometalk.com/diy/tile/floor/painting-hardwood-floors-to-look-like-moroccan-tile-35835676

Absolutely! Just make sure you use a good sealer. I love the stenciled floor trend!!!
