The breezeway project

After..... the bluestone effect- stamped and stained concrete
Before... after the carpet and the lino was lifted
When we purchased the house the breezeway had a nice camel color carpet.. the carpet itself was lovely but the stains were beyond belief.  Not to mention the room always had a funny smell.  We tried stopgap measures to make the floor look better but finally resorted to hiring the big guns..

Incidentally the smell was mold growing on and around the carpet.  Carpeting with out a vapor barrier on untreated concrete is a recipe for disaster.  Since the carpet had been removed my migraines have gone away.
