I wanted to do wood floors for sure in at least 2 rooms. The problem was, I did not have any wood flooring . I did not know what to do until I found my last two packs of Corona Birch Wood siding. I cut each strip to size and then glued each strip one at a time. After I completed the room, I sanded it and added wood filler to fill any gaps.

After that I noticed I was completely out of wood stain (yeap, 11:30pm in Wisconsin, EVERYTHING is closed including some gas stations ). I looked in my paint cabinet and pulled out dark burnt umber paint and added some "delta" glossy varnish and mixed my own stain and out popped walnut colored floors .

Just when I thought I did not have any imagination

Before stain was added

Floor after my "home made" stain was made

More coming soon!
