Truth be told : Ash and I had a Friday night free and decided, "Hey let's paint the floor!"
It had been on the lily DIY list for awhile... it was time to tackle for winter.

| square-by-square |
Armed and loaded with patio floor paint, we set out upon taping our kitchen in mathematically arranged diamonds, using the linoleum squares as a reference.
 |
| white blocks first. |
Our freshly motivated hearts quickly calculated which diamonds to be white and which to be black... but what we didn't know yet was that every other square would be taped slightly off, it takes multiple coats of paint to make patio paint look good, we would eventually tear up all the tape and go square-by-square, and the whole floor needed to be edged with a tiny paintbrush.
 |
| A slight nightmare... |
So it's no surprise that this took more than a Friday night.
 |
| chocolate cake helped. |
3 weeks later, I guess I can say it was worth it. But boy was this hardwork.
 |
| finishing never felt better. celebration! |
