Staining and wood floors

I located some hinge locks at Rockler and while they are expensive, they are exactly what I wanted. Once installed, they made working on the 3rd floor a pleasure - no more posts holding the ceiling open.

My flooring strips arrived from Earth N Tree and yesterday I commenced cutting and fitting for all 3 of the 3rd floor rooms. Today I stained them, and once dry they will get polyurethane.

I also am working on bead board ceiling for the far right room - this will be a bedroom. Its cut and stained and when its dry, I will glue them to the template base and then attach to ceiling.

Third Floor Ideas

I've been contemplating what each of the 3 rooms will be. One of the sides will be an art/craft studio. My drafting table and a table with modeling in the works will go here.

The center main area will be an entertainment room of some sort - probably a pool table, maybe a bar.

The other side - maybe a bedroom.

I like what Lynlott did with this Thornhill. The ceiling is wood and beams.

Or....do the wood horizontally and then beams vertically.
