DIY: Reversible wood floors for under $65

Get all 4 looks for under $65!

As a newborn photographer, I love those vinyl wood roll up floors

but at $80 + per floor I couldnt narrow down my selection to just one look.

One day as I was visiting my local lumber store,

I was comparing prices on different lengths of wood.

I came across 10ft 6x1s

The price per piece was very reasonable

and 

for my prop floors for the newborn shoots

I need floors that are 5'x5'

That means I needed (8) 10' 6x1s

Next I cut each board in half

That left me with (16) 5' 6x1s

Now I have two sets of prop floors

and

I could paint each side a different color

which left me with 4 different looks for under $65

16 pieces of 5ft 6x1s

Chose 4 different colors

Cyber Space Grey

Starboard Green

Charming Pink

White {not pictured}

I started with the Charming pink

I watered it down to a wash instead of painting it.

I wanted to see the grain of the wood

On the other side of the pink boards

I painted them with white paint

The next set of boards

I chose the starboard green

After the green dried I sanded the boards down for a distressed look

Then I used Annie Sloan Dark Wax

for more of an aged looked

I used a diaper to apply the wax LOL

It truly was the only thing I had that I could throw away after

I was finished using it

Here you can see the difference between the two green boards

On the back of the green boards I did a grey wash

with the Cyberspace color

Viola! Just flip it over for each look!
