Tumbling Over White Floors

I know I've mentioned this before but I'll say it again, I read a lot of blogs. And many of those are blogs about interiors. In the past, when I came across a post with a photo that appealed to me I would star it in my google reader with the intention of going back to it at some point. Well that never happened and I ended up with hundreds of starred posts. I decided to put together a tumblr blog and use it as a place to store all of the photos of fabulous interiors I collect. It's such a simple interface, it takes seconds to upload a photo, link to the original blog post, and add some tags. It's been a fun exercise because I'm starting to see some trends develop in my interior design taste. One thing stands out, apparently I really like white painted floors.






The rooms feel so fresh, clean, and bright. All of the characteristics that my current home is lacking. Perhaps that is why I'm so drawn to these photographs. I wonder what it is about folks in the U.S. that makes them so uptight about painting wood floors? If I told any of my friends or family I wanted to paint my floors they would think I've lost my mind. Maybe I should show them some of these photos, that should help to change their minds. You can check out more rooms with white painted floors here. Enjoy!

  8. Love them! I'm going to paint my floors white. In fact, I was originally thinking of Japanese ink black, yet I have two cream dogs who reside inside and shed a lot of hair, so white is now my focus. I started a blog about it but have honestly been side tracked by kitchens etc. whitefloors.blogspot.com.
