I did it. Yes every thing you drop on it will leave a cut through. My dog loves to tear it up...but for me. My floors were tile crap. The people renters who sold me my house, were soooo nasty that no amount of industrial cleaners would make a dent on their dna in the grout. HAVE MERCY. So I got me homedepot paper. Elmers and did not go ocd on ployuretheleyne. I went 2 coats not 20 so was cheap to do. That was 2 years ago. Though we are about to pergo the areas, I just elmers down the paper over spots, stain with a homemade pecan shell stain and poly over it. Still looks tons better than it did. Cost me pennies. So to anyone like me in a similar situation. If you dont spend the bucks on stain. Dont do poly a ridiculous amount of time, I say go for it. Helps you get through a few years, pay off bills still look pretty good. Then save for the good stuff. Who would really look at paperbag covering anything as lifelong permanent.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
I am undecided as to what style to go with in my bedroom. (Plank vs. Stone look) my question is this. While removing the carpeting the tacking left holes the size of a dime in the areas where the nails were removed. I realize I must fill these holes - but with what? I have leftover grout from the kitchen tile project. I have also thought to fill the holes with some silicone. I just dont want to frig it up. Any suggestions? My email address is bernmcg2699@gmail.com
Would this work on a cement floor?? Thinking about doing it in my craft room in my basement. If not any suggestions??
I’m kind of confused as in your title it states that paper bags aren’t for floors but through the whole article it seems
like your happy with the finished product. Am I missing part of the article or misunderstanding? Sorry if this is a stupid question just trying to make sense of it. Thank you.
