Have you been looking for a quick and easy way to remake a linoleum floor? Well, you’ve come to the right place. Almost. Because I can’t tell you exactly how to do that, but Lindsay from Lindsay and Drew can. Check out her blog to learn how to prime, paint and seal an ugly linoleum floor just like this! She reports that the paint is holding up perfectly, and with the high gloss sealer it’s also super easy to clean. I’m sold.

November 16, 2012 at 12:51 AMThank you for the feature! It’s been 6 weeks since we finished this project, and it is holding up amazingly! Looks just as good today as it did the day we finished!

Sorry I didn’t mean my previous comment to sound negative!

November 16, 2012 at 5:49 PMWe had our doubts too! That’s why we came across the high traffic clear coat. It has only been six weeks but it has seen some pretty heavy use, and looks amazing. And a simple sand and reseal if you start to see wear is super cheap and quick!

November 16, 2012 at 9:21 PMI too painted our kitchen and bathroom floor in our former home. It held up to two kids and two (sometimes 3!) dogs; kids’ friends coming and going. I LOVED that I could make it a color I wanted rather than live with the 70’s green it was…Blarggggg!
Mine held up for years! When we were selling, people asked “What kind of floor is it? I love it!” And we just painted it all one color 🙂
Yup! Painted old floors: Do-able and great!
