I need a suggestion for wall color for a family room with a red brick fireplace. I am planning to paint the concrete floor to coordinate with the walls and fireplace. Any idea on a color for the concrete floor? ~Nydia
You could tape them off and paint large 2 foot by 2 foot squares of black and white.
Easiest way to do that is to paint the entire floor white, draw your grid and paint the alternate squares black. Where each black touches another black (the corners) your could paint a square turned on point (diamond shaped) the same color as the walls.
Outline the two corners that extend in to the white with a small black line. You don’t need to make the squares 2 foot by 2 foot if you don’t want to. You can make them smaller if you’d like. 18″ squares or even 12″ squares would be fine as well.
Please send a picture when you finish so we can see how fabulous it looks.

p.s. You can use a diamond shaped stencil pattern for this project. You won’t need to tape off all the little squares. Click Here to see Diamond Shape Stencil Pattern.
