When I worked for the window company we sold a lot to Japan and one of the oddest things I had ever seen was the use of knotty pine plywood for the walls as a finished product , they called it the western look ? We also had a British neighbour who painted ( artist ) and the whole downstairs floor of there house was painted to resemble a cloudy sky ...........kinda freaky at first but wth time it was actually very nice . Distress it or paint lines to make it look like plank hardwood flooring ? a sealer and a shellac coating and I bet t would be hard to tell the difference .......just a thought ?
