New Paper Floor

We are finished!!  We have finished our new paper floors.  Our backs are sore and Trent said I have to stay off Pinterest for a month, but we are so happy with the turnout of our floors.  It took us a week to pull up all the linoleum,.  After we pulled everything we pulled everything up we used our shock-vac to clean the floor and used a wet cloth to the floor to pull up the rest of the dust.  The next step was the mix the glue and water.  You need to crinkle the paper squares and put them in the glue/water mix.  Place them on the floor, over lap each piece.  Let the paper dry for 12-24 hours.  Then you can put the polyurethane on top.  We did three coats since it in in a high traffic area.  Let the poly dry for 24 hours then you can walk on your new floor.  Here are pictures of the finished project.  Feel free to ask questions, I am happy to help you create your new paper floor! (The floor is all the same color but the lighting makes it look different)
