We moved into the house on January 17, 2021. We had some work done by a contractor to repaint the house, sand floors, and turn our garage into a classroom for remote instruction. This work took about a month. There was no immediate help for the kitchen. It was a challenge for me at first to have cabinets that were so dark and of course the brown tile floors.

The previous owner a self-appointed DIYer did a lot of upgrades to countertops! Some objects/countertops protruded oddly as the previous owner did. There must have been a fire sale on brown tiles. He put them on the kitchen floor, bathroom, and shower stalls.

Unbelievable.

The tiles all over the house were oversized and with a mud-color appearance. You guessed it, brown is not my favorite color unless it's natural wood or live edge or something like that.

It just didn't work for me. We are now at the beginning of year four. I don't foresee any large expenditures like ripping out tiles and remodeling the kitchen.

So,

I would like to D.I.Y. and make a mosaic stencil or some beautiful design to create a showstopper for the floor. After all, it is the first thing you see when you enter our home.

I can not stop thinking how ugly it really is. I know in my heart to be grateful, however being a visual artist it bothers me enough to want to change it. It would really lift my spirits.

Hopefully, I can get the cabinets painted around the same time. Because you (Rust-Oleum) did a lot of demos on the cabinets on Instagram and here on this platform, I think that is very doable. Also, that is why I want to paint the ugly floors.

Oh. PS The threshold needs a bit of work, gweeze it is a trip hazard!
