Concrete floor MASTERS!

I got to stain the concrete floor in the living room! I really love how it turned out.  We originally planned to scrape and sand of mastic off of the concrete from the original vinyl tile, but our carpenter suggested a feather finish layer of concrete. He floated two layers (during and sanding between layers) and it looked amazing even before the stain. The color of the finish was almost exactly like the color of stain I picked out, which was Valspar semi-transparent concrete stain in driftwood. So David put the first coat of stain, driftwood, on the floor and about 4 hours later it was dry enough to walk on without shoes. I used a darker color - vaquero for the second coat and applied it with a texture sponge roller.
