Stained concrete!

Although it is not completely done, the staining of the concrete floors is far enough along to share! I thought it was sort of fun to see this "before" picture (during framing) and now the "after" with the walls painted and concrete stained. It's really come a long way. :)

Here is a close up of the stain itself. It's called Padre Brown.

And here are swatches of our new leather chairs (color=cigar) and couch (color=citrus) from C&B. We think they are going to work. :)

So the concrete gets sealed today and then waxed tomorrow. What comes next (as we understand it) is that the wood sills and trim will be installed; then the kitchen cabinets installed; and then the concrete countertops will be templated, formed up, poured and installed. Tiling of the bathrooms should start sometime in the next couple of weeks too. We are hoping to have lots of reasons to update the blog over the next couple of weeks! We're about 6 weeks from move-in so lots and lots will be done between now and then! Stay tuned!
