Flooring for the Ballroom

I’ve finally made a decision about the decor in the large, ballroom area of the house.

The walls were all painted cream (as per usual) with two walls on either floor wallpapered in a subtle patterned cream.

I wanted to either tile the ballroom floor (although i’ve done a far bit of that in the house already) or apply a wooden flooring. I really didnt want to use a paper image flooring that you can get as I didnt think this would look very good. I found an old laminate door cover in the garage. Essentially it is a wood textured sticky back plastic. This worked in my favour though as it was easy to cut  and apply. Although I did have to use glue as the sticky back wasnt all that sticky afterall… and that brought with it additional problems of air bubbles in the floor.
