Painting stores and departments sell a product called TSP. You add it to water and use it to clean up wood (floors, cabinets, etc.) to get it ready for painting. 2nd . . . after you've used the TSP, get a good deck quality paint in the color of your choice and paint the floor. You can even mask out a border pattern and use two colors to create a rug effect. 3rd . . . you can paint the beadboard, but only after you've primed it first. <br /><br />This entire process is going to take a lot of time, elbow grease and tears, but I think the results could be well worth the effort. Good luck!

Have you thought about putting a vinegar solution on it to see if the stuff will dissolve and then re-finishing the wood or painting it? And as for beadboard - yes, I'd say you can paint it. Go! But good luck - this looks like a monster-job; but one I'm sure you will master and make it gorgeous!Gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05467164195744234746noreply@blogger.com
