i have been pretty enamored with concrete for sometime now, say ten years at least.

this is what my floor looks like, it is the first thing people comment on when they come to my house for the first time.

Concrete is here to stay, and if you should tire of it, just cover it with any other material.

when choosing your flooring and counter tops remember to coordinate them like you would an outfit, e.g. your shoes and your blouse/top usually compliment each other. the cabinet acts as your skirt/pants. Of course there are other ways to choose but this is the simplest analogy to share.

Betty you have great taste and whatever you choose it will be the right thing!
Anyone would who like a complimentary consultation on any and all design dilemmas just email me kal0707@gmail.com or leave a comment. Karen
note: working on learning to format, it will get better.
I once decorated a house for Christmas that had stained concrete floors. Very easy cleanup. But boy when I dropped a glass ball...that was the end of that. :)
