Back when she was trying to get her High Heeled Foot in the Door, Camila (who now blogs at Effortless Style) decided she needed a dose of “WOW” in her kitchen. Did she replace her cabinets, knock down walls and buy all new appliances? No, she painted her kitchen floor jade green. How’s that for “WOW,” eh?
It looks pretty spectacular to me. I admit that when I’m feeling dramatic, the craziest I get is painting my fingernails. It takes guts to break out of the ordinary. But, don’t be afraid to add some “WOW” to YOUR home, wherever it may be. It’s a whole heck of a lot better than “Eh.”

November 30, 2010 at 3:15 PMWow! That looks fantastic. I had green floors in my last house, but they were very old and other than the edges, they’d never been painted or varnished. I don’t know if I would have had her courage to pain hardwood. But Wow!
