painted floor

Our kitchen floor was a mess. The wood is old and unevenly worn, too much so to sand down, too uneven to put linoleum or tile on top without removing it and anytime you get it wet this awful smell of the glue that had been holding down some kind of floor tile (all that was left was the paper backing stuck to the floor when we moved in) fills the space... we needed to do something about the floor. 



The fastest, cheapest solution for us is to paint the floor. We went to the paint store to get the paint and advice from the guys there. After scraping, cleaning, vacuuming... I started by putting an oil primer on the floor. 


After the primer it was time for the floor paint - 3 coats. And topped off with water based poly.
