Me and my husband have decided to do a small cosmetic fix on our VERY outdated home. We are trying to do it inexpensively, I have found a love a few ideas, like brown paper floor, white plastic floor and a few others. When I saw the white plastic floor I loved the idea for my childrens room with some coating on top no need for crayons in my house. It pulled the light bulb string in my brain... What about knotty pine or some other wood looking shelf liner on the floor with some coating on top. Would this work, and would it cost more than I am thinking it would? Thanks ahead of time, we are new to this.
