White wood floors

Lately I've been thinking about how lovely white floors might look in our bedroom. But painting your floors white is a big commitment. I won't pretend it doesn't make my palms sweat a little just thinking of it. But then I look at incredible spaces like these, and fall in love all over again.

My biggest concern is how the white floors will affect resale value. As beautiful as they are, I understand white floors are not for everyone. Some people scoff at the very idea of painting over hardwood. I happen to not love the blonde hardwood we have running through our home and wouldn't mind painting over it in one room.

It's kind of like how I painted our office a super dark navy blue, or how I want to wallpaper the ceiling in our guest room. In my head I think, perhaps if I do it well, it will actually help the value. But painted floors are a lot harder to reverse than dark walls. This is true.

Sigh.

Let's go back to pretty pictures. Here's white wood floors done well in other rooms and spaces.
