KMS Woodworks on May 30, 2012The thing with paint is it is pretty cost effective. Also if you do decide to install new carpet, hardwood or other floor covering later there is nothing to tear out.Helpful Reply

Terri K on Mar 16, 2013I did pretty much what Nancy W did, only I used regular (cheap) interior wall paint, two coats, then put down three coats of polyurethane. Its holding up "very" well considering it has been down for about two years now and I have seven (that's 7) dogs! LOLHelpful Reply

Trixie63 on Jul 23, 2015Paper bag idea has been around forever because it works and it lasts. If you can't find enough paper bags use craft paper crumpled up for texture and interest.Helpful Reply
