What's the most unique yet durable flooring you've ever seen a homeowner do themselves?
I'm looking for some really interesting flooring to use in different parts of my house, and would like ideas (and photos if you've got 'em).
By unique and interesting, I mean using uncommon materials or familiar things in an unexpected way. I've seen people using plywood for flooring, end-cut square wood 'tiles,' river rock bathroom floors, and amazingly well-painted concrete.
Any other ideas?
