The photos above were taken just as Concrete Guy was finishing up his work late on Friday (as in 9 pm, 'cause he didn't start working on our place until around 6 pm . . . )
The next set of photos show what the floor looked like after a day of "setting" and with the new furniture:
Let me remind you, that is black stain. No, the color did not turn out black, but we still love it. Apparently, Concrete Guy would have had to spray several coats of stain on the concrete to get it to look truly black, but he decided to make it lighter. Good call Concrete Guy. We're very happy with the way it turned out and are loving our first set of furniture. We feel like we have a brand new place that is really, truly our home. On top of all that, the flooring is environmentally friendly. It maintains a temperature of 68 degrees, which means that our place will stay much cooler in the summer, allowing us to save money on our electricity bill. That means our flooring should pay for itself in a few years' time.
Now that the flooring is done, we need to tackle our other projects: painting, installing baseboards, staining the rail in the stairwell, replacing lighting fixtures, replacing the vanity in the half bath, and adding some accents to the living room. A remodeler's work is never finished.
