However, since you did get rid of the carpet you may want to look into a magnetic sweeper. My husband has one in the garage. It's on two wheels so it would manuever around your new hard surface floor wonderfull. You can probably pick up one at Home Depot with your wood filler etc. Have fun!!!

The subfloor is under another layer for a reason -- crappy materials sometimes and spaces, etc., that would be covered with nicer materials. But if you like the look, go for it!

Hmmm. This is cracking me up. <br />Get good advice on the wood filler. It could crack out or shrink and crack. It also will probably dry harder than the wood and be a pain to sand. And it wont match the wood grain but that's not a problem if you are painting it. The link you gave mentions using caulking. I have a (bouncy) plywood attic floor- filled cracks with caulking and it worked well. Than painted it.<br />Have fun!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-35485744018572648602012-03-21T18:12:58.250-04:002012-03-21T18:12:58.250-04:00Love the look of the lace wood floors!Love the look of the lace wood floors!The Sunshine Grovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02759779885817554142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-46756182909483607152012-03-21T16:23:19.428-04:002012-03-21T16:23:19.428-04:00I think the painted floor idea is superb!

Cars often have a lace paint job, and I asked about how it is done. They tape lace where it is wanted and spray over it. When dry, rip the lace off and you have a lace paint job. Can't you just see using the stenciling lace as a wall cover when you are done?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-75288453012503630132012-03-20T23:30:08.777-04:002012-03-20T23:30:08.777-04:00Woo hop!

I laughed when I saw how many people were being inspired to rip up THEIR carpets! :-D I'd do it myself, except we did it to get to the hardwood floors years ago & there's not a carpet left in the house to rip up; we only have area rugs. The painted subfloor sounds like a fantastic idea to go with until you can afford flooring.
