I know, I keep talking about white rooms – I’m not a purist, truly! I just like the clean feel – and a white room is such a great canvas for whatever personality you add to it. <\/p>\n

I love<\/i> the room! It’s not “grand” – it looks luxurious but partly that’s because it’s not cluttered, and because it has white sofas – but if you look more closely at them, they look to me like they might be do-it-yourself projects – those could be mattresses. And loose slipcovers like that? Entirely washable. <\/p>\n

I think I’d replace the little occasional tables, or put a glass top on them – I’m too much of a klutz, I’d drop little things through the wire (if that’s what it is). But that maybe just me. <\/p>\n

Look at the ceiling – that too could be a DIY project. Add some scuzzy 2x4s you got on sale or from a reject pile – then paint the whole ceiling white. Instant atmosphere. And it doesn’t hurt that the view through the windows is of the Aegean Sea (I think this apartment is in Greece?) <\/p>\n

The actual article<\/b><\/a> was about (drum roll here) concrete floors. Yes, this one too – including the “rug”. <\/p>\n

There’s a companion article<\/b><\/a> with tips on how to paint a concrete floor. <\/p>\n

All this is do-it-yourself on a big scale maybe; but it’s also useful<\/i> and affordable and hey, don’t you love that room! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
