  • The Beginning. Clean the concrete floor very well.  Then paint the floor with 2 coats of Kilz water based sealer. Let it dry overnite.  Next day streak entire floor with acrylic paint wood colors in one direction. I used bamboo tones. 1
  • Finished Floor. When paint streaks are dry, create the lines with a black permanent Sharpie pen that represent the boards. I did 6"x3' boards. stagger the boards approx 12" like wood floors. Darken a few boards for natural variation. 13
  • My Studio.  When boards are to your liking and paint is dry, apply at least 4 coats of polyurethane over the entire floor. Let dry 3 days before putting furniture on it and 2 weeks before dragging across floor. Voila!  You did it.

an art studio and wanted to have a wood floor in there.

People have to look twice or be told its painted. a true trompe l'oiel effect.
