Living in California, earthquakes happen. My kitchen has gotten a long hairline crack down the length of the floor. The floor isn't very old and I am definitely not ready to tear out all of those travertine tiles just yet. I am not new at using paint to camouflage things like wine stains on the bar top, and now cracks in tile. It is kind of a joke in our house that if something needs hiding, I just paint a starfish on it.
I was a little nervous at first, since this isn't just a starfish- it requires more paint and more commitment. What if I hate it? How difficult would it be to scrape off? When I paint a mural on a wall, I am not worried in the least since I can just cover it up. Well, I decided to just do it.
I started with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. I have used this paint on many surfaces and have found that it definitely covers well. I painted my sand color and then the blue base for the water and now I am too far along to quit. I will post more photos as it progresses. I have painted on my floor before but on a smaller scale. I used clear sealer over it and no matter how much traffic it gets, the original crab I painted on my staircase landing still looks good!
