I love the look of stained concrete floors. The look is natural and textured. Always Unique!
My new craft room needed a floor that would be easy to clean and hide the eventual stains and spills. (I am THAT Painter Lady after all 
Even scrap booking can make a mess.
But… I want a floor that isn’t as “cold and hard” as concrete would be.
I found the perfect stained concrete craft room floor alternative! It’s Vinyl!
Hard to believe but the picture you are looking at is vinyl flooring… I love it.
It looks great with the paint color choice from Valspar Paint – Moose Mousse. (I didn’t plan that)
The flooring has a touch of gray/blue color thrown about… so I’m going to take a swatch to the counter guy and have my new craft room counters matched.
I will be going for a pale – very pale – blue /gray counter top color. The room colors for a craft room should be as neutral as possible. Colors reflect onto white surfaces – so if you are painting on white canvas, wall colors can change the colorations on the canvas.
Because this room should stay a bedroom for eventual resale… I know that I may have to carpet the room again.
But – if I carpet now, I will just have to re-carpet anyway… I’m not a neat artist!
Installed New Shabby Chic Ceiling Fan in Craft Room
What is it about the rubbed off look of chippy paint that attracts me? My assistant found this one on LampsPlus.com and I loved it.
Of course she wanted to order it with the pink crystal light kit… as if I needed to have the color pink back in this room. No Way!
We had the Shabby Chic Ceiling Fan shipped from LampsPlus.com – My new favorite lamp shopping resourse. They have Free Shipping!

Love your new vinyl floor, Debra! I am also a HUGE fan of vinyl flooring as it is inexpensive and easy to install–and very durable. It is perfect especially for kitchens and baths. I would have also put it in my sewing room if I’d found a vintage one! I am considering putting vinyl in my husband’s weight room—as soon as he is ready to part with his yucky carpet!!! I am also not sure that it would devalue the resale of a home as carpet is not always the preferred flooring for bedrooms! I personally would not have ANY carpet in my home and especially as we live in the country on a dirt road! My saving grace is that I have sculptured burbor in our living room and it is the BEST for high traffic areas as well as pets!
Hi Cathy…
We designed this room so that it can still be used as a bedroom. The large pantry cabinets can have hanging bars instead of shelves and so they are considered closets.
This will help us if we ever decide to “move”. I also plan to add carpet in the room if we choose to resell. For some reason it does help resell value in our are to have carpeted bedrooms.
Of course… we purchased a 4 bedroom home and now we only have 3 bedrooms.
We had a LR – DR and Family Room… and now we have cut out the Living Room in favor of a great room.
We had an eat in kitchen nook – but have expanded the kitchen so that is no longer a feature.
And with bathroom remodel and removal of the tub we are down a notch in bathrooms.
We seem to have remodeled ourselves into a smaller house. Hmmm… :0)
