I so wish I had a before photo to share but you'll just have to take my word for it that this hardly feels like the same home. Yes, that floor is hand painted. \u0026nbsp;I don't know how many hours it took but I think \"a lot\" would probably not cover it. \u0026nbsp;She did not use a stencil but rather marked out the pattern with car detailing tape. \u0026nbsp;Hard to believe this is all just old vinyl.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Hand painted floor close up\" border=\"0\" class=\"alignnone\" height=\"1065\" src=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-EABbczT7d_c\/WWVoJH7lUpI\/AAAAAAAAat8\/jWJCWJGM7RQ-FxIIN8E-dfWiP3czu68ZwCLcBGAs\/s1600\/NicolesHallway170609-6.jpg\" title=\"A dramatic hallway makeover is completed on a small budget including an original hand painted floor, some modern accents, and white walls.\" width=\"750\" \/\u003E \u003Cimg alt=\"Hand painted floor from outside front door\" border=\"0\" class=\"alignnone\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-Q7jk3hIeMfI\/WWVoIeCaTtI\/AAAAAAAAats\/VuC4Pv1HvR4-Mf7tpgXVD9mzk2j3nevCACLcBGAs\/s640\/NicolesHallway170609-3.jpg\" title=\"A dramatic hallway makeover is completed on a small budget including an original hand painted floor, some modern accents, and white walls.\" width=\"375\" \/\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Hand painted floor facing front door from inside\" border=\"0\" class=\"alignnone\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-T7BGUE3w28k\/WWVoJcTb36I\/AAAAAAAAauA\/81hPQjDvoGgD8fPWrhS4hOk9km0_G4H8gCLcBGAs\/s640\/NicolesHallway170609-7.jpg\" title=\"A dramatic hallway makeover is completed on a small budget including an original hand painted floor, some modern accents, and white walls.\" width=\"375\" \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EI'm just in love with this space and wanted to share it with you too! \u0026nbsp;I call it moody in the best way possible.
