At lunch one day a week or so ago I was telling friends I plan to rip up the nasty carpet in my bedroom and stain the concrete. Fran asked if I had seen the brown paper bag floors. "Huh?" Oh, snap! Something else for me to investigate. There are a lot of tutorials out there for brown bagging your floors, so I'll just link to the one I used. I think they turned out pretty good. Better than the stained linoleum that was there for sure. Here's some instructions if you're brave enough to try it. http://www.recyclart.org/2012/07/paperbag-floors/
While I like the floors, I thought they needed a little something extra. I'm not a beige type of person. I don't know if I even own anything beige. I stenciled a bit on mine. I think if I do the main bathroom floor I will buy some stain and stain them vs the brown. Still, not bad for the first try.
