Pine beneath our feet (only ended up at 1.25 sq ft)

 We wanted flooring that would last our lifetime. Flooring that gave us a solid feeling and a sense of old school. We decided to use Southern Yellow Pine 1x6x12. Overall, after screws and A LOT of hard work.... we ended up with $1.25 per sq ft!! The floors turned out perfect!!! We wanted to stain the floors but decided not to... for the main reason of time so we just coated the floors with a Water Base Polyurethane. The floors got 3 coats of the polyurethane and it gave the floors a great shine! We wanted to make sure the coats were thick around the bathtubs for any "spills."

The Polyurethane went on smooth and easy! It was a thin milk type texture and look and then dried clear. The gallon said "Fastest Drying" and it was! It only took an hour for each coat to dry.... that was for us to walk on it. We let it dry overnight before we did heavy work on the walls and ceilings. Overall, it was easy and we are pleased!
