The concrete studio floor was troweled very smooth. When the concrete was hard, I carved the leaves and vines with a Roto-zip tool with a diamond blade. The grooves are approximately 1/2" deep, I then concrete stained each vine and leaf. The balance of the floor was stained a burgundy and purple.
We then sealed it four times with a concrete sealer. I will use a floor wax to keep it looking superb.
This is a great work surface although slick if it has sawdust on it.
Remember when they used to sprinkle saw dust on dance floors! Very same
effect. If I were worried about this, I would use a fine sand in the
final sealer for grip.
