Obsessed. I’m officially obsessed with white. It’s nearly clinical.
This is not new information. For the Bradford project, we whitewashed the master bath floors.
It was trial and error—we sanded the first attempt away and felt better about the second attempt. Whitewashing can be tricky. I wasn’t so sure about the results but decided to live with it and it has grown on me. There are some new techniques and products for white washing and I can’t lie, I’ve considered whitewashing the floors at Eastwood.
Imagine this space, painted white with whitewashed floors. Do you like that idea?
If you could also pretend that this photo wasn’t taken on one of the zillion rainy/overcast days we’ve had this summer that would be great—a little sunshine to brighten things up.
The verdict is out but here’s some inspiration:

To tell the truth, I wonder if whitewashing the floors will turn people off? Some lucky body will live in this house—if we do it right maybe they won’t be able to resist whitewash? Sometimes you have to show people what they like and maybe this is one of those times. What to do, what to do…
Thanks for reading—you all are loyal.

Love whitewashed floors. Also love painted white floors.
Love it. I would love to do this to my old tired, dog worn wood floors in my house!
the floors are beautiful…so airy and light….hmmm…
do the floors determine the direction you go with the rest of the decor?
I feel your indecisive pain!
tried whitewashing floors in two of the bedrooms at my house, but it turned out too “beachy” looking, so just ended up painting them white….love, love, love them!!! i was afraid that the texture of the wood wouldn’t show through, but it absolutely does.
I love light colored floors so I vote yes on whitewashed as well. I’ve seen pics of white painted plain old plywood subfloors and have swooned. So the pics you’ve shown are even more fabulous!
Definitely yes. However. I have never been able to paint old hardwood floors. It feels wrong somehow? Maybe one day.

Did you white wash your floors? I would love to see pictures…. and a list of products, we are just deciding on clear long leaf pine floors, (inexpensive) but I do not like yellowing and so we would like to white wash….
Any product list?
Love these whitewashed floors!! They make everything lighter and help the eye to focus on each individual items in the room. Clean and bright.
