Those ugly old floors you’re so sick and tired of looking at? You know the ones I’m talking about.
They’re uglier than sin and make your eyes hurt every time you have to look at them.
I had those floors, too. But I completely overhauled them for LESS than $100.
Welcome to post number 3 of the big kitchen reveal!
If you missed the first two posts, you can find my kitchen cabinet fiasco here and dishwasher makeover here. Paint has been my best friend in this whole process. 🙂
*(click the link at the bottom of this post to see how these floors have held up!)*
When we moved into our home a little over a year ago, I knew I wouldn’t be able to live with the existing ugly kitchen floors for long before I had a come apart – I also knew paint would be my key to a pretty kitchen.
That was over a year ago. I lived with them longer than I thought I would. There were so many other things in this house that were worse than these floors, if you can believe that. Did I mention we got this house for a song? There’s always a reason you get a good deal on a house. 😉
A Little about the House
In our case, it was an outwardly gorgeous, three story 100 year old victorian….but she needed a LOT of work inside. Nothing structural, of course, but lots of nasty wallpaper had to come down, and glitter-painted walls needed a fresh coat of paint (you read that right…glitter. on the walls.) Other walls needed to be repaired and painted and we updated the entire second floor…and the dining room on the main floor. We’ve been busy, to say the least. But it’s coming along and I love the changes we’ve made so far. The last really big project on the list has been the kitchen.
The Solution
If you’ve been around here for long, you know that we live on a tight budget so there was no wiggle room in our pocketbook for new flooring. However, I knew if I didn’t do *something* to these floors, I was going to go crazy. I couldn’t stand to look at them as they were any longer. And I’m pretty sure the floors were tired of the nasty looks I gave them every. time. I walked into the room. Something had to give. Below you can see the little breakfast area off of our kitchen (with all the furniture taken out)…

Enter….(drumroll, please)…PAINT!!!
What, you’re not surprised? Ha ha! Ok, you probably know by now that I can usually be found with a cup of coffee in one hand and a loaded paintbrush in the other. It’s what I do, and it makes me happy. 🙂
After the kitchen cabinet fiasco, I learned my lesson and asked around…and got a lot of different answers regarding what (or even if) I should use to paint old linoleum. But after doing some research, both in person and online, I decided to take a leap of faith and use a paint I had never heard of before.
It’s called “Rust Scat” (I know…nice name…”you couldn’t think of anything better than ‘scat’?”) But anyway…I digress.
Rust Scat, despite it’s weird name, is an amazing paint. A-MAZING. It’s a Waterborne Acrylic Enamel that provides “tenacious adhesion” and an easy to clean, semi gloss surface. I figured it would be my best bet for our kitchen floors with our busy family of six.
Decisions, decisions…
After going back and forth on what pattern I wanted on my floors only 1,726 times (ok, that may be a *slight* exaggeration), I finally decided on wide stripes. And – I know you might be shocked – but I actually did not paint my floors white. I went with a light grey (it’s quite light) and another grey two shades darker. Rust Scat didn’t come with the pretty pallet selection for all the colors it came in, so I had the store color match “Passive” and “Gray Matters” from Sherwin Williams.
Greys can be tricky, so if at all possible, get yourself one of these handy dandy color fan decks – it will help you see really quickly what undertones the greys carry. If you’re looking for a true grey, you certainly don’t want to get it home, get your room (or floors) painted only to realize your grey is actually quite purple or green or whatever…unless that’s what you’re going for, of course.
Prep for Paint
I had my husband and oldest son carry out all the kitchen furniture (breakfast table, two benches, free standing garbage unit and vintage buffet – no, we did not move the fridge or the stove and dishwasher). I swept and mopped the floors thoroughly, then sprayed on this recommended cleaner that the paint store guy swore by. He said to spray it on and leave it for 10 minutes, so I worked in sections and did just that. Once the 10 minutes were up, I used a scrubby pad like this one – not only to scrub any remaining dirt or debris off the floor, but to also lightly etch the floor, to help give this already-tenacious paint even more to grip onto.
After the cleaning solution and scrubbing was done, then I went over it again with a clean damp rag to get up any remaining solution. Prep work always seems to be the hardest and most tedious. None of this was done with a magical machine – all on my hand and knees, spraying, scrubbing, wiping and then going around after all that and taping off the woodwork with painters tape. Whew! I’m tired now. Where’s my coffee….I know I set it down somewhere…. ah. Here we go. Ok…..back to the floors. Are you still with me? 😉 On to the painting…
Time to paint old linoleum kitchen floors!
First, I quickly trimmed all the way around the room, using my favorite paintbrush.
Then started rolling. Goodbye, old, ugly linoleum!
Let this paint dry at at least 30 minutes – a couple hours is even better.
Painting the Lines
While this is obviously an optional step, it was one of my favorite parts. Our floor has a raised pattern imitating tiles, so taping off the lines just consisted of lining up this amazing tape along the edges of the “tiles”.
Here’s a great trick I learned from my Aunt Judy (she’s amazing). Once your tape is down, go over the inside edges of your tape using the same base color you just painted on your floor. This way, any seepage that might occur will happen with your base color instead of your darker stripe color. THEN go over it with your stripe color. That way when you remove your tape, you will have perfectly sharp lines, with NO wavy/messy edges.
If you’re more of a visual learner, I have a video on my Facebook page where I show you how I removed the tape and I explain it a little more.
Removing the Tape – Finished Paint Job Reveal
THIS might actually be my most favorite part! Lol!
Ok, fine – I loved it all -and the floors were WAY more fun than my cabinets. 🙂 Carefully remove all your tape (and if you used this tape, it shouldn’t pull up any of your hard work – no guarantees if you use the blue stuff).
Look at this transformation!! While I am under no illusion that this paint will hold up for 10+ years, I just need it to hold up for a few years until we can afford to replace the flooring. But until then, I am in love with my “new” kitchen floors!
There have already been heavy things dropped on it, mud tracked in from my four boys and a 100+ lb. dog walking on them and they’re holding up great so far! They mop up like a dream and even after some of the little ones’ watercolor paints spilled onto it, there is no trace of a stain or mar. This paint is amazing and I highly recommend it. (And no, this is NOT a sponsored post by the paint company – I’m just sharing this with you because I love it).
Is it cheap? No. It’s not cheap. (Though my paint guy was sweet and gave me $5 off per gallon – which was nice of him). But it’s a lot cheaper than replacing the floor completely. The paint dried incredibly fast, went on really well and so far, is holding up fantastically. I could have gotten away with one gallon if I hadn’t chosen to do stripes, but I love the stripes and am happy with my choice.
After painting our cabinets, the refrigerator, the dishwasher and now my kitchen floors, this doesn’t even look like the same room. And that was the goal. I couldn’t be more thrilled with the new look! Here’s a peek into our little breakfast nook off the kitchen –
I hope you’ve been inspired to tackle painting something that is bugging you. I’ve come to believe there really IS a paint for anything out there! So grab a paintbrush and paint something! You just might find a new passion for making ugly things beautiful…
UPDATE: See how these floors are holding up a year and a half later! Was it worth it?
Don’t forget to pin for later!
I\’m so glad I found this blog! I\’ve been planning to paint my ancient basement floors, which consist of three different linoleum varieties (not cute!). My questions revolve around the prep, which I know is important…but also so daunting! For a large area would you sand, or just use the scrub pads you mentioned? How well did you rough it up? With the cleaning solution, did you have to mop it up after you applied it, or did you just let it dry? Lastly, did you not need to prime the floor first? I would really appreciate any tips you can offer! Thanks again!
Johanna, WELCOME!! 😀 I’m so glad to “meet” you here!
Yes, prep is such a painstaking task, but really worth it. 😉 I wouldn’t sand. I would just use the scrub pads I mentioned – but to be fair, if you have a really large area, you might be able to get a similarly textured “buffing” pad and use a circular sander to save your arms. It would give you the same effect, I would imagine. It doesn’t need to be very roughed up at all. The slight bit of texture you’re creating on your floor surface should be almost undetectable.
As for the cleaning solution, you could either use a damp mop or just use a damp rag (that you rinse out on occasion) to remove the cleaning solution. But no need to be super detailed here – you just want the floor clean and dry.
No priming! (YAY!) At least, not with the paint I used (links in the post) – with any other paint, I would definitely prime. This paint is formulated differently than most and is amazing stuff.
I’m cheering you on in your floor painting project!! If you’d like to be featured on my facebook page when you’re done with it, I’d love to share your gorgeous painted floors with my followers! Everyone loves a good makeover story… 😉 😀
Let me know if you have any other questions – I’m happy to help!
Thank you for the encouragement! I’m hoping to nail this out next week. Fingers crossed!
Oh I’m so excited for you!! Can’t wait to see pics -if you’d like to share them! 🙂
Is there some sort of leveling compound to be able to use before you paint. I am going to attempt this process over three rooms that are joined with three different kinds of linoleum that have three different shapes and patterns.
Hi, Alyssa! You don’t need to use any sort of leveling compound for the floors – you could either just have the paint accent the different pattern on your floors or you could accent them even more with different paint colors – totally up to you. But no leveling compound is needed. (yay! 😉
Great Job!
Thank you for all the tips! I’m planning to paint my cabinets as well as my floor- do you think the Rust Scat would be a good cabinet choice?
I totally understand what you’re going through with your house. Ours is from 1856 and all the floors need to be done but it will have to be paint for now! I need to paint pretty much every surface, lol!
Solidarity! 😉 Best of luck to you as you paint all the things! 😉
Hmmmm….Honestly, I don’t know why it wouldn’t be – but maybe do a little research before making your final decision? I’d even contact the company and ask them their thoughts – since they know their product best. 🙂 Good luck! 😀
Your floor looks amazing! Honestly, I would be happy as a clam to have your old plaid pattern vs my yellow-and-grey-no-matter-how-clean-it-is-it-always-looks-filthy linoleum. 🙂 I’m actually going to ask my husband to let me do this to our floor for Mother’s Day! (It would be my best gift ever, lol) First I need to find out how many coats you used of the light grey. I think it’s just one, but after reading and rereading the post and comments I didn’t see if the number of coats was mentioned specifically.
Hi, Nakole! You’re right- the paint covered really well and I only had to do one coat- but as with any project, “your results may vary” ? You might only need one coat, or you might need two. Once you get your first coat on, you’ll know. What a great project for Mother’s Day weekend!!! Let me know if you have more questions- I’ll do my best to help. You can do it!??
My husband and I have been talking about painting out nasty kitchen floor for some time now, but we’ve put it off until we find the right paint/process. I’m so glad I ran across this post.
One question, though. When you say the “store” matched a SW color for you, did you take it to SW? I notice you linked the paint on Amazon and clearly they’re not going to color match ? How did you go about tinting it? Thanks!
Hi Caryn! You’re right, Amazon won’t tint your paint for you…(we should talk to them about that!) 😉 My local hardware store carries this paint, so he tinted it for me, but since so many of my readers were having a hard time finding the paint, I shared the link to Amazon. If it were me (and I couldn’t find a local retailer), I would call my favorite paint store and ask oh-so-nicely 😉 if they would tint my paint for me. They might charge you a couple dollars, but in my mind, it would be worth it to get a paint that I know holds up on my floors. 🙂 I hope that helps?
Whoa, whoa, whoa…we sure will match SW colors 🙂 Haha! Yes, I am the seller on Amazon. If you want a custom color, please call me, or message me on Amazon.
We are a 63 year old, 3rd generation family paint company and we match SW colors all day long. I’ve sold that oddly named Rust Scat for 20 years now and you are right, it’s amazing!! One of our most successful products. Please call me if you have any questions. (386) 253-8107
Joe
One more thing! The link to Amazon is the oil-based version of Rust Scat.
Oh!! Thanks for letting me know – I’ve gone in and changed the links. 😉 Love your paint!
Oh WOW!!! Joe, you have just made so many people so happy! I had no idea that we could get Rust Scat color-matched to SW paint colors through you!! This is stinking amazing!! 😀
Thank you SO much for commenting here and letting us know – what a fantastic service you’ve provided for us! SO excited to be able to tell my readers that they CAN get their favorite colors through you! And I love that we can support a 3rd generation family paint company – have a fantastic day! 😀
My pleasure and thank you so much! If I can ever help with anything, please let me know.
Hi! This question is for Joe…. Are you able to match dark colors as well or are you limited to colors that use a white base? Also, I presume your paint works well for cabinets?
Thanks much!
So the earliest you could walk on the floors would be 3 days? Our kitchen is the main door in our home, and would love to do this project but don’t think i could keep feet off it that long.
“Technically”, yes – although we walked on our floors *that night* – but only with bare feet or with socks on. Just no shoes. Our kitchen is the hub of our home, so I just left the floors for a few hours before we walked on them. The guy at the paint store told me 30 minutes, but that seemed like it was pushing it for me, so I let them be for a couple hours. 😉 However, that being said, we DID wait the full 10 days for the “full cure” before moving and big furniture back in (table, benches, free standing cabinet unit). I hope that helps? Don’t hesitate to ask me more questions if you think of them – I try to respond as quickly as I can. 😉
My kitchen floor is from 1950’s. Will this work? everyone thinks i have lost my mind & gonna waste money & time but i am determined to do this & prove them wrong. Just want to be sure it will hold up with chairs sliding, etc.
Hi Sherry! I have a table and two decently heavy benches on my kitchen floor. I put those felt feet that you can buy for furniture on the bottoms of all the pieces and my floor has held up amazingly well. Also, my boys scoot the benches all over the place and this specific paint has held up like a dream. I would just encourage you to give the paint the full cure time (explained in the post) – it’s worth it to get a solid cure on your floor. Wishing you all the best! Let me know how it turns out, if you decide to go for it! 🙂
I have wood painted floors. I’m wondering if this paint would adhere properly to the paint that I have on there now? It’s a laytex deck and patio paint. Tnx, Bridgette
Hmmmm…I’m not sure about that Bridgette – I’ve not used this paint over previously painted surfaces… It has great adhesion so maybe it would work? Might be something to look into a little further… best of luck!
Hi there. I am thinking of starting this project and using the paint you recommended. I know you said that you waited 30 minutes (or a few hours) before doing the stripes… does that mean you completed the project in one day? I’m trying to figure out what kind of timeline I should plan for. I have a dog and don’t want him to track through the paint too early in the process. Thanks! – Christina
Hi Christina! This project took me two days and then I let it cure the full 9 days before moving furniture back in. But we walked on the floors starting the third day. We were just careful not to wear shoes on it until after the 9 day cure time. I hope that helps? Maybe just put a gate up or something to block the door to keep your dog out for a few days?
I too have a kitchen that needs a touch up. Love the look of this idea but to get my husband on board I know he is going to ask me, what do you use to clean the floors?
I totally get the whole “getting the husband on board” thing! 😉 For my painted floors, I just use Pine Sol, Murphy’s Oil Soap or even just regular old dish soap. They have all worked great on my floors! Hope that helps?
Looks fantastic what a clever idea!! We have laminate “wood” floors do you think this would work on them too?
Hi Caitlin! Hmmm….it might work on your floors. A lot of it depends on the condition of your floors. I know our laminate wood floors (we have them in one room) have a few corners that turn up ever so slightly and I’m not sure how that would hold up to the paint. But if your floors are tight, I would assume that they would respond well to painting. The only thing I would say is to be SURE to use the Rust Scat paint that I mentioned in the post. I wouldn’t paint laminate floors with regular latex paint. I just don’t think it would stick for very long. But I know there are people on Pinterest who HAVE painted laminate floors with latex paint. I just wouldn’t do it. So that would be something you’d have to think over and decide if you want to take the risk. The Rust Scat paint is the key to floors that hold up great, I think. (And no, the company didn’t pay me to say that – they don’t even know who I am-lol!) But that’s just my two cents worth. 😉 Wishing you all the best! Let me know if you have any other questions and I’ll be happy to try to help.
Your floor looks AMAZing!!!! I want to paint my bathroom floor, the hubby is even on board (at least I didn’t get that “you’re crazy” look when I talked about it) Thank you for sharing the step by step…prep is my most hated step in any project, I need instant gratification, lol!!
Prep IS the most non-fun part of every project – 😉 I hope you’re able to paint your floors! It’s such a gratifying project. Have a great day!
Thanks for the inspiration! We just finished ours! Posted it on our blog today. ?
So glad to be an inspiration! Your floor turned out beautifully, by the way!! Congrats! 😀
I am going to try this my next weekend off!! I have a dining room with ugly carpeting and uglier linoleum underneath. I am doing other remodeling so doing the floors over right now would not be a good idea. Thank you for the idea!! I am going to try a 3rd much thinner purple stripe in between the big stripes I will send you a pic
Yay!!!! You can do it, Holly!! Cheering you on!!:D I’d love to see a pic when you’re done!
Wow! This looks amazing. I have old linoleum floors that need something until we can do a full remodel in our 1925 colonial. I’m assuming it’s still holding up pretty well now? I don’t know when you first posted. Thanks for any advice!
Hi Kristen! I painted my kitchen floors almost a year ago now and they are holding up fabulously – even with 4 boys running around and the room getting LOTS of use. It cleans/mops up beautifully and I still love it as much as the first day I painted them. And I have a table and two heavy benches in the breakfast nook area that get moved and used several times every day (I put felt feet on the bottom of them) – and the floor is amazing. The only part where you can see a little wear is right where the main area of counter space is – where 95% of the work is done. If you look really closely, you can see the *faintest* signs of wear there. If I point it out to anyone, they say they never would have noticed, had I not shown them. So I would still *highly* recommend this paint and the steps I outlined in the post. I wouldn’t recommend it with regular latex wall paint, though I know people have done that, too. I just don’t know that it would hold up like the Rust Scat has. Painting old floors is a GREAT way to get a little more mileage out of them until you can afford/get around to replacing them. Sending you all the best wishes and let me know if you have any other questions – 🙂 Have a great day!!
I thought I posted this comment…this may be a repeat. Is this ok to paint in a bathroom? And they look amazing. I forgot to say that last time.
Hi Lynn! This paint should totally be ok for a bathroom! I actually plan to use it in one of ours. The only thing (as with anything painted) would be to make sure you don’t let water stand on it for too long. But in my kitchen, I just wipe up any water drips and I’ve never had a problem. And it’s been almost a year now. I love this stuff! ?? I hope that helps!! Have a great day!
With it being a shiny surface paint. Would it be ok to use it to paint my bathroom floor?
wells, searched the whole post for paint, and the word is used many times, what brand paint did you use?
I’m sorry that you had a hard time finding the paint I used. I explain it in post, but I’ve copied and pasted it for you here. I hope that helps.
“Rust Scat, despite it’s weird name, is an amazing paint. A-MAZING. It’s a Waterborne Acrylic Enamel that provides “tenacious adhesion” and an easy to clean, semi gloss surface.”
It’s a paint put out by Coronado Paint Company. Best of luck! 🙂
Hi! What did you use as your base coat?
Hi Bonnie – no base coat. 😉 I used that special cleaner I referenced in the post then just painted on my first of paint. This paint needed no primer (for REAL – I know lots of paints “say” you need no primer…but this really did NOT need primer / base coat.) 🙂 hope that helps!
Hi, I know you said no base coat, but what about a sealer/poly? I am thinking about paint our bathroom and wondered if it would need a clear coat to seal it better.
Hi Lucy! To be honest, I’m not sure about using it in a bathroom – unless you’re careful to not leave any water drops standing on the floor. I haven’t had any issues with standing water hurting my kitchen floor, but my paint guy said to be careful not to leave water splashes to dry on the floor as it might ruin the paint. So I just wipe up any spills as soon as possible in my kitchen.
I didn’t use any sealer – but if you’re thinking of doing it in a bathroom, it might not be a bad idea? Might protect the paint from water more. Let me know what you decide! 🙂
Thanks. I was going to use marine paint, but now I think I will use the Rust Scat with a marine sealer on top. Unlike the other lady, I am NOT telling my husband:) He will love it once he sees it. Your floors are beautiful.
Lucy, you just made me laugh out loud! 😀 Make it a surprise for him – I know he’ll love it!! If you don’t mind, be sure to stop back and let me know how it goes with the marine sealer! If it works well for you, I might have to do that in my bathrooms! 😉 Have fun painting!
Absolutely amazing transformation! Love your design and color choices–you rock! Thanks so much for sharing your project with us at Vintage Charm 🙂
Thank you, Diana! I’m glad you liked them. 🙂
Please don’t hate me, but….the floor you painted is a 1980-ish no-wax sheet goods product, not true linoleum, used between 1920’s and 1950’s….I had this EXACT flooring put in my bedroom as a teen in 1981….it was Hot Stuff at the time!
li·no·le·um
ləˈnōlēəm/
noun
a material consisting of a canvas backing thickly coated with a preparation of linseed oil and powdered cork, used especially as a floor covering..
You did a lovely job on your floor…congrats!
Your floor and whole kitchen look so fabulous. I love the grey and white stripes. You are a brave girl! I am SO happy you posted this step by step! Almost 20 years ago I painted our teeny tiny bathroom linoleum floor with a primer and yellow paint. Within a year it was peeling so bad I had to get on my hands and knees and scrape it all off. There is still some yellow behind the toilet. I was too dumb to have the bathroom floor done when the kitchen (right next to it) was done. I have been living with a 1950’s ugly floor for 20 years! I am going searching for that paint!!
Oh, I’m so sorry to hear of your unfortunate experience with painting your bathroom floors all those years ago! 🙁 Thankfully, they’ve come a long way with paint since then – I bet you’d have good success with this paint. My floors are holding up great – and I’ve got our family of six and a 100+ pound dog that walk on them. 😉 Best of luck finding the paint – I found mine at a local lumberyard, if that helps. (Not a big box store)
That is SO AWESOME! I love the way they turned out 🙂
Thanks Kate! I’m so glad you like them! 🙂
Love the color and the stripes you chose for the floor, it reminds me of my hall. I had no idea that kind of floor can be painted, but I’m pinning it to remember!
Thanks for sharing with us at Sweet Inspiration, enjoy the rest of the week!
Thank you Pili! I’m so glad you liked my floors – and thanks for the feature over at Sweet Inspiration. 🙂 You’re very sweet. <3
I found your blog in ThriftyDecorChick’s feature and love the floors. I had to laugh because when I saw the before pic, it brought me back to my childhood. Those are the same floors that were in our house back in the 80s. So weird! Great job on the reno!
LOL! Those floors were so popular then! 😀 I was glad to be rid of them. 😉 I’m so glad you liked their makeover! :)Thanks for stopping by –
This is seriously so cool! Love the stripes!
Thanks Ashley! I’m so glad you liked them! 🙂
Your floors turned out beautifully! I love the glossy finish on that paint! Kind of keeps with the tile-like pattern of the linoleum. Thanks for sharing at Merry Monday this week!
Hi Marie! Thanks so much for stopping by! I’m so glad you liked my floors – they were lots of fun to do. And thank you for hosting Merry Monday! 😀
So I’m reading your post and I go over to your facebook page to check out the trick with the sharp lines that your aunt taught you, and I got stuck on your page … what a fun page full of great ideas and laughter.

Thank you so much Debra! It is definitely a big improvement! Thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to comment! 🙂 <3
Sarah, I can’t even believe that’s the same floor! I like how the floor still has the texture, but is without that seriously amazing plaid. Lol! Those stripes are on point girl!! Awesome work!
Lol! “Seriously amazing plaid” – ha ha!! It was pretty amazing…. 😉 Thanks for the sweet comment and for all your support along the way…<3<3
Amazing as always! I am stunned that you can paint linoleum flooring. I will be sharing this with so many people. Thanks for linking too!

I LOVE your floors. However, I cannot believe you were keeping that table a secret from me!!!!!!!!
Lol!! I’m so glad you like them, my sweet Friend!! And I’m glad you like the table too! 😀 It’s another little gem I’ve kept in my back pocket – 😉
