Ahome renovation can often be an emotional rollercoaster. Although some consider the change to be quite exciting, the decision-making, manual labor, and inevitable roadblocks can often lead to overwhelming frustration and exhaustion. This was further proven by Naomie Olindo, who is in the early stages of an ambitious house restoration.
On Sunday, August 17, the Southern Charm alum took to Instagram to share the recent upgrade to her historic Charleston abode. She began by posting a photo of her relatively bare dining room, which had masking tape on the hardwood floors.
“Let’s paint!” she captioned the picture.

Naomie proceeded to whitewash her flooring before making an all-over diamond pattern with the masking tape. She didn’t reveal how long it took to create the outlines, but said the process was far from easy.
“This was so mf hard,” she wrote in a subsequent post.
The following Story showed Naomie using a paint roller over the floor. Although it was clearly a tedious and time-consuming task, she managed to keep everything clean and tidy — and that included her painting clothes.
“Not one drop of paint on my [Lake pajamas],” she captioned another Story, which highlighted her dining room lighting fixture from Carolina Lanterns.

While the painting project was difficult at times, the finished product was nothing short of stunning. Naomie showed off the results in an August 17 Instagram.
“Next up: table + drapes,” she wrote.
The image showed a white and beige checkered pattern on the dining room floor. The update was definitely eye-catching, but its neutral color combination kept it from clashing with the home’s classic Southern aesthetic.
