I excited my wife by suggesting we take a spare bedroom we never use and turn it into a big butlers pantry. Of course this went over well, who doesn't want 120 square foot pantry.
We are using white Pine pre sanded plywood cut into squares then we sand the hell out of it more starting with 60 grit and ending with 320 grit. Then stain it and polyurethane clear coat. MANY coats. Johnny came in to help but then left when the sander started up again. |

I think if they were going to go with just plywood as the main floor covering, the squares are much better way to go. It gives it more of a pattern and personality, makes a small space look bigger, and just makes it look like more thought and work went into it. I would go with a darker stain to disguise the fact that it's subfloor material, but it could look great. Now all it needs are custom upper and lower cabinets surrounding the edges of the room with a wine cooler maybe? Haha. But that's just my purely unprofessional opinion as an Interior Designer.
