RE: Faux Wood Flooring
It looks simply wonderful! I thought I'd mention that we covered our kitchen floor (after a fire) with mid-grade vinyl flooring that's made to look like hardwood. This stuff covers a multitude of sins! & everyone that came to our house (before we sold it) would say "OH, what wonderful hardwood floors you have... But in the Kitchen!" It cost more that a "paint-on" floor, but MUCH, much less that real or engineered wood! Ask about Vinyl that looks like hardwood or plank-wood floors at Home Depot or any flooring store. It comes in many prices. It's hard to tell from the store samples how nice it looks when installed. You can buy it in individual "planks" or cheaper ones that come in a large sheet. Armstrong even makes a new type that even beginners can install themselves. (it bends easily without cracking!) They sell it at Home Depot.
Here's one of the more quality products: http://www.davidalanflooring.com/pages/vinyl-sub/vinyl-1.html

RE: Faux Wood Flooring
Been there, done that. Same thing happend to us this summer. We had Oak hardwood under our kitchen which we knew. After removing 2 layers of inlaid vinyl, 1 layer of tile, we also found black tar paper which had left a black tar on the floor. After much sanding we finally got it all off, stained and Poly"d our floor and it looks great. However, we spent MUCH MORE than you did to get our floor. Several times we wanted to give up but could not figure what to do. I really wanted the oak floors which we got finally. Love your idea.
