  • 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.

Our Much Needed Kitchen Makeover

The "before" photo was what the kitchen looked like when we moved in. It has taken on many different "small" transformations. The "after" photo is showing our new counter tops, painted cabinets, and new appliances. Yeah!

Turn that unwanted twin bed into a useful bench!
