Good morning!
Look at the floor in the studio’s kitchen – it’s white! Still tacky pattern, but white :) One more layer of paint and it will be finished. Two more rooms to go. See the before pictures here.

This is from where I would have wanted to buy new floor if I could, just look at all these fantastic ones.

Happy Weekend!

    The floor looks good :))

    Why I never thought to put a fur over a chair – such a nice idea !

    Äsch, nu blev det ju jättefint! Inte tecky, tycker jag. men du vet säkert mer om sånt än jag. :) Snyggt, cleant och diskret tycker jag att det blev nu, inget man kan störa sig på. Vilket väl är helt utmärkt i en ateljé. KRAM

    the floor looks much better like this.
    i have old tiles in my home, like in the link you have posted. they are beautiful but i dream of wooden floors like in your home…much warmer and lighter :)
    have a nice weekend!

    Camilla: du har helt rätt! bättre kan det inte bli just nu :) tycker mönstret plattorna bildar är lite tyskt åttitalstacky mönster på något sätt nu när det blev vitt. men det gör inget :)

    Amazing what a coat of paint can do. The floor looks so much better. Well done!

    Looks really good! The floors in your link are gorgeous. Here in Barcelona many apartments have mosaic floors, I hope I’ll live in one of them the next time I move. For floors I love this German brand too: http://akkadesign.canalblog.com/archives/2009/07/19/14454230.html

    looks so much better, even for us, the readers :). don’t they also have stickers for tiles? maybe even for floor tiling.

    Good Morning to you too!
    I think it looks great, inspiring!

  21. Kyle wrote (on Nov 21, 2009 17:41):

    That looks so much nicer than before. I thought that ripping up the tile would’ve been a better idea, but that looks good.

    Wow, so much better than before! You’ve done a great job!

    HUGE improvement!! I’m so glad it worked out. Even if it chips a bit, it’s still worth it.

  25. deleilan wrote (on Nov 21, 2009 20:38):

    It was definitely worth taking the risk! White floors are so much more soothing to the eyes.

    Du havde ret – looking great!

    The floor looks fantastic! Such a difference.
    Now I’m thinking perhaps we should paint the tiles in our bathroom and kitchen – they are simply awful and I’ve been thinking about it for years!

  30. gina wrote (on Nov 22, 2009 04:01):

    The floors look amazing!!! We have the same fur slung over a chair and imagine, no IKEA in New Mexico. :-) Wish I could express how happy a Saturday night it is here in my part of the world. Cheers!

    Impeccably white! Good job!

    Do you guys take off your shoes when you get inside the house? I noticed the kitchen floor is one step higher in your “before” shot, no?

    it looks great! it really makes the room a lot “calmer”

    I’m really enjoying this transformation. We’re house-hunting and have seen some pretty scary kitchens and baths, so I get excited seeing how you’re changing the “undesirables.”

    great job! didn’t know what to expect, it looks lovely!

  42. Sandra wrote (on Nov 23, 2009 11:51):

    ai: i removed some tiles to see what was under them, but didn’t find anything of interest. it was good i removed them, because now i can close the inner door, which didn’t work with the too high floor. in sweden we take off our shoes when we step into someone’s apartment. in my studio i wear shoes because the floor is so cold, but now with the white floor i will have to find another solution; like find carpets for the places where i walk the most or simply take off my shoes and wear socks :)

    I see! You could wear slippers, too, like I do!

  45. Alessandra wrote (on Nov 23, 2009 18:16):

    looking good!! Maybe you could ask Johan to take a brush or even a Sharpie and draw something on it…and you should do it too!! Maybe with all your closest friends, isn’t it a way to personalize your floor?

    Happy week!

  46. Sandra wrote (on Nov 23, 2009 18:18):

    Alessandra: that’s a great idea! though when it comes to the floor i need it to be as calm as possible, but maybe a wall instead :) thanks for the idea!

    I can’t wait to see how this holds up underfoot. I have a room I’d love to do this in, but it’s sort of a high traffic area so I’m apprehensive about it. It looks great!

    Love your workspace. Best of all, I love that it looks nothing like mine. Thanks for the dip into another world.
