An inexpensive and DIY farmhouse bathroom update.
What do you do when you want to change the flooring, but the thought of tiling isn’t appealing or in the budget? PAINT IT!!
Yep, you heard that right!
We painted over our old linoleum until we can do a more permanent situation here….aka until the budget allows for it.

HELLO THERE GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!
BATHROOM UPDATE SUPPLIES

- Paint (floor paint, chalk paint, or whatever you choose)
- Polycrylic (3 coats)
- Foam Roller
- TSP
- Small brush for touch-ups (bleed through)
- Painters Tape
FARMHOUSE PROJECTS
- Farmhouse Thrift Store Tray Makeover
- Dining Room Makeover -On a Budget
- Industrial Farmhouse Toilet Paper Holder
FARMHOUSE BATHROOM UPDATE DETAILS/TIPS
- You need to clean the floors and then clean with TSP.
- You can use floor paint or some have used chalk paint. Do as many coats as needed to cover over existing tile/flooring.
- It took about 4 hours using the two stencils.
- You can cut the stencil, if you like, to get in edges.
- She started at the entry of the bathroom so if there had to be smaller ones, a stencil that wouldn’t be complete, it would be against the wall.
- Don’t use polyurethane because over time that will turn white paint yellow
- Use a fan to help speed up drying.

Wyndei, Love your name spelling! That stencil makes such a huge difference doesn’t it?
I’m curious as to how well this will hold up over time?
We did our bathroom floors here, and with the coating on top they have held up really well!

This looks great! The stenciled flooring looks amazing! What a difference. By the way, I like wire baskets a lot, they look really stylish! 😉 Thanks for the update. It’s always great to see home (especially bathroom) renovations!
Thank you Jessica. We love how it turned out.
Loooooove this! Wanting to do this for my daughters bathroom. Do you know the paint color on the walls?
