Can you paint cement and ceramic tile?

Hi Pamela, Yes you can but note that it won't last forever because it is paint after all. However when you apply it the correct way, it can last for a few years. You could use Homax Tough Tile Tub & Sink Refinishing Kit (http://www.homedepot.com/p/Homax-Tough-as-Tile-One-Part-Brush-On-White-2106/202061380#) , which you can find at Home Depot for about $35 or so. I used it for the bath tub and tiles in the bathroom and love how it came out. Let's say that it is the next best solution if you want to change the look of your tiles on a budget. Just be aware that it is very toxic so you may want to wear gloves and a mask because the epoxy gives off some really nasty fumes. I’d even say, best to open the windows if possible. Having the right basics to work off are crucial so make sure to first and foremost clean your tile with the solution that is in the kit. Once the tiles are clean you can apply the epoxy paint with the brush that is in the kit. Don’t worry about the brush strokes, as they will even out eventually. You will need to apply more than one coat but make sure the first one is dry before applying the second one. It takes a few hours for the first one to dry. Two coats were sufficient to cover my tile and provide a great looking finish but if you want to apply more (depending on the tiles’ existing color) you can. Note that you can also paint the grout in between. On the box it says that it is completely dry after a few days but I’d say one week to be safe. A bit frustrating to have to wait that long but it’s worth the wait. Good luck! Elfya

Hello, for me the fireplace could stay white, but the element on its right could be in a darker colour, it would look deeper

Bonjour GM Aménagement et Nathalie, j'ai vu un vert superbe sur un autre blog et veux partager avec vous, au cas où ce type de couleur Vous intéresse. Le commentaire préconnisait un vert contenant un peu de jaune pour illuminer un peu un endroit sombre. La première photo est la couleur Kitchen Grenn 85 de Little Greene. La deuxième photo provient du nuancier de Farrow&Ball. http://eu.farrow-ball.com/colours/paint/fcp-category/list?isSearchFilterSuffix=true&results=999&visModel=CHANNEL&filters=Hierarchy_TOP_NAVIGATION_FILTER:/TOP_NAVIGATION/wc_shop_all/wc_paint_all/wc_paint_colours!COLOUR_GROUP_FILTER_LANG_fr-FR:verts Cordialement.

Green interior design is essential to your health

Why is a green interior design essential to your health and the health of your children ? Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted as gases from certain solids or liquids. It includes a variety of chemicals, some of which may have short- and long-term adverse health effects and are up to 10 times more concentrated indoor than outdoor. Most of the VOCs come from paint, glue and a lot of building material. How to reduce or eliminate VOCs from your home ? What is good for you is also good for the environment. To have a greener interior design the first step ins get rid of the chemicals in the paint. The use of a water based paint is the most ecological, it gets well to almost any surface and is weather-resistant. It is also cheaper than an oil based paint ! Now let’s get to your furniture. Of course an organic mattress or an air purifier would be very recommended to keep you away from VOCs. You should also make sure that the furniture is made from organic materials, free from potentially harmful chemicals. Important certifications : When looking for non-toxic furniture, make sure they are Greenguard certified. Greenguard certification is issued for products that meet rigorous criteria for VOCs emissions set by key public health agencies. Forest Stewardship Council certifies wood is harvested respecting indigenous people’s rights without causing any harm to the environment.

I normally say no, don't paint wood, but in this case I'm going to say yes. You have a nice view and everything else is painted. So the wood stands out. I think if you paint it, the focus would go more quickly to the view and less on the wood. Try taping on paper over the wood and see if that's true. Does the view stand out more with a painted door?

Wouldn't paint unless the cabinets in the kitchen are going to be painted as well.

Don't paint. The wood is actually more harmonious with your view. White will make it feel more chopped up visually.
