Have just finished this epic bathroom transformation! My back hurts but i couldn’t possibly be any happier with the result!
Have just finished this epic bathroom transformation! My back hurts but i couldn’t possibly be any happier with the result!
I am so thrilled that i will get to walk barefoot on this pattern for years into the future.
5 years ago i roughly sanded the wooden floor and filled the gaps inbetween the floorboards with bathroom silicone sealer in order to make a complete surface for pattern-designing.
The wave pattern was rushed and had all kinds of hairs stuck in it! i used basic masonry paint and didn’t plan very well which meant the room was still totally in use whilst i was painting and the edges got smudged and started to chip off even before the paint was dry.
This time around, with a few years more pattern-design and paint experience under my belt, i went all in with the prep. Sanding all over again and priming the floor boards with multiple coats of solvent based Universal Surface Primer.
The design was formed from a repeat tile taken directly from my recent times spent in North Africa, i transffered the tile design repeatedly via good-old tracing paper and pencil, and painted with water-based eggshell paint which i managed to find in the most delicious shades.
