Texture and Floors

I realized I haven't posted pictures of our texture on our walls, yet. So, here are texture pictures.

The salon wall where I'm going to have my station (see my lightboxes up by the ceiling?) and the salon door. Have I mentioned lately that I LOVE my door!?!?!The wall between the washroom and the salon.Up close of the texture.One more up close.

Matt and I talked about us painting after the texture, but then I realized that we were going to Sun Valley for Nathan's IFT convention and it would be great if we could get the floor done while we were gone. We could still have progress done on the remodel and we could walk on the floor sooner after we got home. I talked to Matt and he was excited to get it done when he could come over whenever it was ready for another coat and not have to worry about working around a family's schedule. Unfortunately, Matt's supplier didn't cooperate. He forgot to get one of the first coats that Matt needed to put down. So, Matt didn't get that until the night we got home. I guess at least that means I can take pictures during the process.

So, on Friday and Saturday, Matt put down a base coat and topcoat of concrete. Yesterday, he was going to stain, but it snowed and we're still having issues with water coming in certain areas of our basement. Apparently, if you stain and water gets on it before it's fully cured, it leaves a funky puddle, so we decided not to stain. He touched up a few places and put up plastic to protect the walls from the acid stain. Hopefully in the next few days we'll be able to dry out enough to get the stain down.

I can't walk downstairs, so my pictures during this process will be taken from about this angle. This is looking into my playroom from the top step of my family room. This shows the two layers of concrete and the plastic on the walls. We're ready to stain.And the view straight on. Looking through my salon door. The door to the washroom is off to the left of the salon door.

Seeing my basement with basically white walls and white floors reminds me of a hospital or something. It makes me glad that I went with a darker color on the floors and reinforces my resolve to put colors on the walls. Last picture. Matt made a sample of the different colors of flooring we were deciding between. I am going with the one on the upper left. The more I look at it, the more I'm liking it.
