No, that is not even finishing quality planks, when you smooth it, all the gaps and dings will show up, it is pointless, better just smooth it enough then put a real flooring cover on it, like vinyl panels etc

floor looks proper artist's studio comfy, imo - if the rooms fairly small, they probably painted it light color for that reason Your problem is maybe more your taste in everything else - few simple really good pieces of wood furniture, large plant, few lights, done. But I have no idea what you need to use the space for, obv.

that floor is fine. It's not great, but from that picture it's obvious your house is a cheap piece of shit.

Sanding a floor is a miserable thing to do. You have to make sure all the nails are beneath the sanding level, the dust and mess is only equalled to pulling a ceiling down and the its physically hard on your knees/legs.
Just put a floor on top. Easy and quick.

Hire a pro. Or sheet it and install some nice glue down vinyl plank.

Bingo. Fuck all that hassle, chemicals and dust.

Then just a short ladder to climb up to the new finish level

Yup. If OP has enough cash for a sander and chemicals, then he has enough cash for some laminate or something.
