It was a long-awaited and suddenly spontaneous decision to empty the entire studio room and paint the subfloor. The video below chronicles the process my husband, Keith, and I went through to transform the floor of my home studio room from carpet to ready for action painting makeover.
The Basics of supplies used in the floor painting process:
Behr Stain-Block Paint and Primer tinted to the floor color (Watery) (2 coats)
12” roller and roller covers
Roller tray
Paper & Tape to tape off lower wall
Darker value (quart) of Behr paint to make glaze and splatters (Dragonfly)
Varathane Satin no odor clear floor finish Polyurethane (2 coats)
Fan brush or made spatter maker
Mid Century Modern Stars Stencil at StencilGirlProducts.com designed by Valerie Sjodin
Misc. - gloves, stir sticks, mixing containers
NOTE: I bought my paint supplies, except for the stencil and sea sponge and gloves, at Home Depot, which was generally cheaper than Amazon. I already had a sea sponge, gloves paper to tape and fan brush
In the next post I’ll share about the story of why we decided to do it right before we went on a trip, the big obstacle I faced, and the results.
For now, below is a photo of the floor close-up and a sneak peak to the most transformed wall of my studio.

The left lower corner of the image of the floor in the first photo is a bit off due to the sun glare, but it gives a good idea of what the finished floor looks like, shown in the second photo.
