PAINTED CONCRETE FLOORS...
SO I HAVE A DELIMA... THE CARPET IN OUR HOUSE IS NOT SO GREAT AND WE ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WAYS TO FIX IT. I REALLY DO NOT LIKE CARPET. IN A PERFECT WORLD I WOULD DO HARDWOOD THROUGH THE WHOLE HOUSE... BUT THAT'S JUST NOT FEASIBLE. ALSO IF YOU ARE THINKING RESALE SOME DAY, IT IS BETTER TO HAVE CARPET IN THE BEDROOMS. SO... ALL THAT SAID I AM THINKING ABOUT PAINTING THE CONCRETE. JUST FOR A SEASON. I REALLY LIKE THE WAY IT LOOKS AND IT IS SHOWING UP MORE AND MORE IN THE DESIGN WORLD.
SO I HAVE TWO COLOR OPTIONS THAT I AM THINKING ABOUT. TAKE A GUESS? GRAY AND WHITE! WHAT ELSE :) I LEAN TOWARDS THE WHITE JUST CAUSE I LIKE THE WAY IT LOOKS... BUT THINKING PRACTICALLY... WHITE WILL SHOW EVERYTHING. SO, THEN I AM THINKING A DARK/LIGHT GRAY... NOT SURE.
I HAVE ONLY BEEN ABLE TO FIND ONE PICTURE OF ACTUALLY PAINTED GRAY CONCRETE FLOORS. MOST ALL THE GRAY CONCRETE FLOORS ARE THE POLISHED ONES... WHICH I WOULD LOVE TO DO... BUT THAT'S NOT QUITE POSSIBLE AT THE MOMENT. BUT HERE'S AN IDEA OF GRAY ON THE FLOOR...
I WOULD PROBABLY NOT DO THIS, BUT THE BLUE IS FUN...
CANNOT DECIDE! I WISH I KNEW SOMEONE WHO HAD PAINTED THEIR FLOORS WHITE WITH A GLOSS. I'D LIKE TO ASK THEM DOES IT REALLY SHOW EVERYTHING, AND IF THEIR EASY TO CLEAN...

I have enjoyed reading your blog for a while now...thanks!! I LOVE when you post Craigslist items, as I am a huge Craigslist fan!!
One of the pictures you posted in your "red" blog is a picture of dark gray floors with the red beds. FABULOUS!! Maybe do a pretty charcoal gray. Just a thought...
I love the white, but I am with you, it may be hard to keep clean...especially with kids! Although I do love all things gray, I'm not sure abut the gray floors...it looks a little "gymnasium" to me. It wouldhaveto be the perfect shade. I LOVE the blue in the kitchen - sooo fun and different!
Hi. So funny to read your post because we are thinking the SAME thing. Just curious what you ended up doing. Eventually we want hard wood floors too. For now, I'm thinking of either painting the concrete white, or dark or light gray. Can't decide as well. Can you tell me what you did?
My email is jamiescheiner@gmail.com if you would like to send me pics! Thanks
