staining concrete floors

We bought a house with I would say 20+ year old carpet and I want to remove it ASAP. I want to stain the concrete so it looks presentable...we'd like to tile but that's not in our budget... I want it to have browns, oranges, reds and shiny...throughout the living room, hallway and entryway. Where do I begin after removing the carpet???

I think you need to sand the item first, really good to get all the original varnish and finish off, then you can paint either with a spray paint or brush. When sanding make sure you get all the nooks and small areas or your new paint will not stick.

I did this exact thing to my entire downstairs. Each time I tried to use a paint, it chipped and looked awful. First you have to sand the entire floor - a horrible job! But once it is done, then you can choose an outdoor patio stain. I used clear and have to say I love it! With great area rugs it gives an urban/clean feel. I have three dogs and this is the best - no dog smell in the carpet!!

I'm with you! I'd like to do the same thing. Did you find anything out about this? I'm just starting to look for info. I don't know where to begin. I'd love to rip up my carpet and stain the concrete underneath!
