The website above has some wonderful ideas on designs to incorporate onto the floor. I was thiniking a person could use border stencils a few short inches from the baseboard all the way around. Just a thought. The possibilities are endless.

I have been hesitant to tear up all of the carpet and was thinking about replacing it with wood flooring or laminate. Our budget won't allow it for now. So, I am inspired to do this, one room at a time. And use some nice area rugs here and there. We just moved to the southwest and the 'cool' flooring won't be a problem. I'm sure you would prep it like we did the garage floor.

Not much $$$ or much labor involved. He is now building a house and has the confidence to do his own kitchen and powder room. If you are interested in trying it I say, "do it", you can always pour another one if the first one does'nt suit you...it is only concrete.Room Service ~ Decorating 101https://www.blogger.com/profile/00391177317831699246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594508409437632905.post-7945544931943488132009-05-12T17:44:00.000-07:002009-05-12T17:44:00.000-07:00I'm with MMW.

I have considered doing the concrete countertops in our kitchen when we remodel. It's so durable and so versatile...so much you can do with it!!! And as you mentioned...very affordable!!! If I had my way, I would even do pretty stained concrete floors throughout the living area of my house! My Sis and her husband just built a cabin in the Texas hill country...they kept all the flooring concrete and stained it..it's gorgeous! She said it's perfect for that warm climate...it keeps cool!!! So happy for you and your new concrete bath countertop!!!<br /><br />Love ya,<br />ChariChari at Happy To Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05475994012652473793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594508409437632905.post-68629840512588724862009-05-12T15:46:00.000-07:002009-05-12T15:46:00.000-07:00I love your bathroom!!!
