Boring flooring is one of my personal pet peeves. It's as if I'm walking into a space with white walls and no drama whatsoever. Why not jazz up your normal flooring with a few coats of paint? Our friends at ShelterPop wrote about the benefits of white flooring last week, and we couldn't agree more.

White not quite your thing? Take a cue from Maryam and her daughter Skylar and paint your floor with a concrete base and pattern for a lovely lace effect. You can purchase the pattern the pair used right here for $199, or create your own with a sheet of plastic, Xacto knife and some creativity!

The project requires a bit of patience and attention to detail, but the result is so worth it. You'll have the coolest floors on the block!

But please, be careful. If not, you may just end up in our Messy Paint Mishaps gallery!
