Bye Bye, ugly brown tile floors! Hellooooooo gorgeous black and white stenciled floors! This is something I have drooled over on Pinterest for a while now. I’ve thought about it, then I pushed the thought aside as quick as it came. I was scared!
Not too much scares me in the DIY world, but this did. I have pretty much zero stencil experience. But, when this $100 room challenge came up and I decided to do our downstairs guest bathroom, I knew a change HAD to be done to the floors in order to make an impact. So, I decided to do just that.
Read Week One, Two and Three to see the before pictures and all the progress I have made this month. You won’t hardly recognize this room!
Pretty please, will you PIN this?!
And here is a reminder of what the floors looked like going in to week 4.
I will be doing a FULL TUTORIAL on the process behind these floors soon. So, we are going to save all those details for another post. But, I will tell you it was a labor of love FOR SURE! But, was it worth it? FOR SURE!!
I used Blackberry House Paint to paint the floors. My base coat was Warm Milk (antique white) and then I stencilled in Cast Iron Skillet (black). My stencil is from Royal Stencil and is called the Toledo Tile. You can find it here. It was a great price and easy to work with. I highly recommend it!
Here are some pictures during the process.
And here are some now that the floors are complete! Can you even believe your eyes?! Me either!
Well, what do you think?!!? Be sure you are following me on Facebook for more updates, tutorial release, etc.
We still have to frame out the mirror this coming week and will be doing a couple more dΓ©cor touches on the wall you can’t see from these pics…so stay tuned for that! The BIG REVEAL of the finished bathroom will happen next Wed. January 31st! I will show you some close ups of the decor then too! Can. Not. Wait!
I hope you have enjoyed following along on this $100 room challenge with me! I am tired, my back is sore, but at the end of this I’m going to have a bathroom that I love and that makes me happy π
Be sure to check out all the other $100 room challengers and see their progress! All these ladies are kicking home dΓ©cor booty right now!!
Until next time…

P.S…Let me know in the comments what you think about this stenciled floor transformation!
Wow! The bathroom looks awesome but those floors are a game changer and steal the show for sure. So awesome! I have been wanting to do them but I am so nervous about the time it takes and messing them up.
Thank you! They definitely do steal the show. I won’t lie, it is time consuming π But, I’m so glad I did it. I was nervous about mess ups too. Luckily, the only placed I messed up big was behind the toilet area so no one will really ever see. Haha!
K, this is nuts. Hands down my favorite, most impactful update I’ve seen in this challenge! Awesome job!!
Aww! Your comment made my morning!! I SO appreciate that!!
Looks amazing! Did you have to seal the painted floors? I definitely am pinning this because I want to do the same for my laundry room. Already thinking of the next challenge!
Yes! I did seal them with 4 coats of polycrylic!! Thank you π
I am sooo impressed with how this turned out! They are gorgeous! I am thinking of doing this on my floors so I can’t wait for the full tutorial.
Awesome! I should have it up next week! Thank you!
Your floors look AMAZING!!! I’m obsessed and I just WISH I had the guts to do the same as you!!! I’m thinking I might give it a try in my basement office!!! I love it!!!
Trust me, I was scared also! I’m so glad I just jumped in and did it. Give it a try!!
Wow! You have officially made me want to do a floor similar to this. It looks amazing!!!
Yay! Go for it!!
Your floors look so amazing! I love that pattern! Gorgeous work!!
I appreciate it so much!
This looks absolutely AMAZING!!! Fabulous job. I love stencils π
Thanks a ton!!
Ahh this looks amazing! I love it!
Thank you so much!!
Oh my goodness, talk about a transformation! They look amazing. I’m still halfway through mine and it’s a labor intensive project for sure. But totally worth it in the end!
Labor intensive for sure!! It helped that we had a week of snow days where I literally couldn’t leave my house. Kind of forced me to keep going with it! Haha! Can’t wait to see yours too!
Ok, that’s just cool! I’m so impressed how you just jumped in and did it, and how lovely your floor looks! Too often I stay in the “paralysis mode” you mentioned instead of going for it. Beautiful reminder to give dreams a go. Thank you!
I was definitely scared, but I’m SO glad I just went for it! Thanks!!
Oh my gosh… my heart kind of skipped a beat when I saw those floors, and your whole room already looks complete! Love it, and can’t wait to see the reveal!
It’s SO close to being complete! Thank you!!
Your floor looks AMAZING! I wish I had a place to do this in my house!
Thank you, Rebecca!! Loving your transformations too!
This is freakin’ amazing! I can’t wait for your full tutorial because I’d love to do this to my outdoor patio. THIS IS GORGEOUS! Great job. π
Thank you! I will have it up next week!! Would be so pretty on a patio π
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this floor!! You did an excellent job. I’ve got to try this somewhere in my house – I’m thinking a short hallway I have. What size stencil did you use here?
Thanks! My tiles are 12″ so this is the 12″ tile π
My jaw is on the floor (while doing a happy dance for you!) That transformation is the most incredible thing!!! LOVE it! And in a way, I’m glad to hear you were scared, because I am totally scared to try painting floors, but seeing how yours turned out makes me think I might actually be able to do!
Yes!! Totally scared!! You could do it for sure! Thanks for the kind words π
I was wondering how it would look and it’s gorgeous! So bold but totally works in the small space with all the neutrals and the softness of the shower curtain. Well done!
Thanks so much! I think it was the perfect spot for it for sure!
This is amazing!!!!! Youβre right I canβt believe my eyes!!! I would love to do this. Canβt wait for the tips!!!!!
Thanks so much! Full tutorial coming next week!
Are you sleeping on that floor yet? Drink your morning coffee there? I know I would! It’s so amazing. Can’t wait to know more!
Haha! Just about π Thanks!
It looks sooo good!!! I really want to do my kitchen floor like this.
Thanks! That would be so pretty!
Oh. My. Goodness!! That floor is just gorgeous and your bathroom is too! I love it and can’t wait to see how you did it!
Thank you!! Yes, tutorial coming next week!
WOW!!! These are gorgeous!! Such an impact. Can’t wait for your tutorial! π
Thank you so much!!
