Staining Concrete and Patio Tour
by Debbie Tibbs
We built our house in 2009 and have wanted to do something with the cement floor in the patio since then. I went back and forth trying to decide whether to install tile or to get the concrete stained. We finally made the decision to stain and we love it. We hired Keefe Duhon of Concrete Revolution. He is located in South Louisiana but has worked all over the United States. He does residential and commercial work. Here are some of the before and after pictures.
This is looking at the patio in one direction before.
This is the opposite direction.
Here is Keefe doing his thing.
I love this texture overlay.
He used gray and blond stains blended. This is right after he finished.
This is the two days later. It came out beautiful!
Our furniture and accessories go perfect with the stain.
It made the patio feel like an extension of our family room.
Now it's time to relax and enjoy it!

Yes i have done the first steps just a bit uncertain about the stain and the blending as i don't have a spray can.

I wonder if you could use sponges for the blending of several colors, like people used to sponge paint walls. I love the soft, smoky, texture look.
