on 6/23/2008 I actually did this floor in my basement bathroom, and it was great. Just make sure that you put at least 4 to 5 layers of polyurathane. My mom actually did this floor in her house! It is great and really easy!

on 6/23/2008 Has anyone tried this? I love the idea, it's environmentally friendly and a reasonable way to do a small area. I was considering it for my bathroom, wondering if that would be wise...
