Although sanding down and refinishing hardwoods is fun for some folks, I happen to side with these homeowners who would rather whip up a light, bright and clean look for their kitchen with as little pain as possible. Want to see what this floor looks like now?

Over at Modern Jane, this kitchen was in need of help and there’s no denying that this kitchen floor looks 500% better and the treatment to it makes things light, bright and beautiful.

Instead of sanding, stripping and restaining and sealing this floor, it was painted with a bit of white instead. It makes the island pop out and makes the space inviting to cook, clean or craft in.

Hop over and check out more on this space and the process for creating it over at Modern Jane.
