Their cold, hard and austere image is changing, though, thanks to Transparent House, a San Francisco based 'visualization studio.' The concept allows for application of any pattern to the concrete during the pouring or after the concrete has been set.

The delicate beauty of the floral designs adds both warmth and femininity to the industrial rawness of concrete. Contact Transparent House for price quotes and application.

    That floor looks beautiful I wonder if you could get the same effect by putting a vinyl sticker on the floor before sealing it. If you put it in a place with little to no traffic you could probably put a vinyl sticker ontop of the sealant so that it could be changed out with your decor or by the season.
