painting wood floors

HI,
I have pretty rustic wood floors that I would like to paint. Have seen a wood floor painted white with somewhat of a "distressed" look to it....old farm house kind of thing... Am wondering if anyone knows how to do this from start to finish? or knows where to direct me to find out? thanks

Changing color on hardwood

I would like to make my "medium" oak floors a deep mahogany shade - I have a couple of questions - first, after initial sanding, and trial in an "inconspicuous place" I see VERY little resulting color change even though we picked a very dark stain (MinWax Gel Stain - Brazilian Rosewood) and followed all of the directions - would could be going wrong? Second - We have choosen to go "dark" with our stain because our floor has several misc. stains and nicks throughout the entire first floor and we thought the dark stain could help hide whatever was left after sanding - are we right about this? Any help would sure be appreciated! Thanks!Read More

I have a house pier and beam foundation and wish to install new wood floors. My question is, is it better/neccessary to install backer board/plywood to increase the stability of the floor? If the existing wood floor is even enough can I just install new over old? Regards, TobyRead More
