Q: I just bought a house with wall to wall carpet that must go. There is plywood subflooring underneath and I can’t afford to install hardwoods any time soon. Can I stain the subflooring?
A: You can stain almost anything if you want to. If you are going to be living on the plywood for a while, you could always paint it and maybe do a stencil around the boarder. How fancy can one make plywood?

Follow up Q: Do you have any book recommendations where I might get some ideas regarding painting? If I did paint…should I put polyurethane over it?
A: I would go to a local paint store. You might also find out something at www.woodfloorsonline.com. I don’t think I would apply polyurethane over the paint.
