Fabulous Floor Facelifts

What to do when you buy that perfect bungalow, with the seventies carpet you just know is hiding wood floors, and you pull back the shag to find years of water damage, pet stains, or what looks like the scene of a crime?
You could strip, sand, and refinish the floors, or you could add some style with a painted design.
You could totally do this over dull or outdated lanoleum too. I would encourage using an oil based paint and primer over linoleum as it is non porous.
