In the Pink Concrete Carpet

Our local customer, Kim Longo, recently shared this Concrete Carpet project that she did in her own home. Kim took a “Wild Workshop” from Colormaker Floors and then proceeded to transform here living room floor with a concrete overlay.

I love the bold use of color and the distressed look she got by using solvent-based dyes through the Modello Concrete Carpet and Royal Design Studio stencil. Her house was built in 200 but she has set about making it look lived in and timeless. The perfect compliment to her efforts came from someone visiting who asked her husband, “Didn’t this house used to be new?” I love that! She’s now looking for great ideas for the ceiling. Any ideas??

    WOW!!! Love the colors! As bold as the accent color of pink is, the floor still has an overall ‘neutral’ feeling. Great execution!
