When a painted floor project comes along that promises to be extraordinary, it’s good to have friends in the biz!

For this floor project, I called upon my most favorite stencil supplier, Victoria Larsen. The designs Victoria features on her website are so versatile and well conceived it was hard to keep my colorful floor project from going over the top. Using three of Victoria’s designs, and one more giant stencil I had on hand, I think the floor turned out to be the perfect amount of old world Church meets modern floor WOW.

Painting floors takes time. It also take a particular stamina which my less than compliant   knees and half broken back won’t always abide. With the help of expert muralist and decorative artist to the stars, Esmond Lyons, the work part, was limited to figuring out how to get up from the floor at the end of each day.

Esmond also put me in just enough of a Zen Buddhist frame of mind to try out his masterful yoga moves in between coats of Benjamin Moore flat exterior paint. A great artist, who is flexible in mind and body-now that’s a friend everyone can appreciate!

Suffice to say our knees held out.

Best wishes to the many Brides who will traverse this floor on their way to the alter, and God Bless my good friends Victoria and Esmond, who helped to make this painted floor one of my all time personal favorites. Esmond even found the time to make a video of this project. Thanks E !!  Once I get my impending #Brimfield painting shenanigans behind me, I’ll ask the photo guy to help me get the video to the blog.

Hopefully, these photos will keep you entranced awhile during my off to paint the Brimfield stuff absence!

Stay colorful! xxxlu
