Painted White Floorboards Shabby Chic Style 2012

Last week I was offered a new home - the equivalent of the flat I have now but on the ground floor and with the outside space we currently crave. Ultimately after a long 12 hour think I decided that we didn't have enough social links in the area to feel secure and the kitchen/bathroom area was a cupboard with no room for a fridge! So, the search continues. When we looked around there were untreated floorboards throughout and it got me thinking...what's my ideal flooring solution? Yes, you've guessed it, white painted floorboards!
