Taking the oh-so-Pinterest worthy Paper Bag floor to a whole new level
It was pretty easy to do- even if it was relatively time consuming.
First there was all the obvious ripping up of the carpet and cleaning of the plywood subfloor – merely prep work for what would come
To start I put down the “Paper Bag Floor”
Basically you take brown paper, rip it up and paste it to the floor using a 3-1 Elmer’s glue to water mixture
Totally “perfectly-imperfect” type feel
Next – rip pages out of somewhat meaningful books and paste them down with the same mixture – I tried to keep straighter lines with this part
and it progressed…
Then taking a wood stain I sponged it onto the floor so that it wouldn’t be “too dark” and also so that the pages were semi-readable
Giving it this vintage-y sorta-kinda-not-really-hardwood-but-super-artsy kind of feel
totally new floor for only about $20
