Product Description
Today's leading interior designers are absolutely enamored with concrete. Innovators and artisans are enthusiastically exploring the ever-expanding uses for concrete as an artistic medium, and the potential seems endless. New permanent colors for concrete are infinite and the textures limited only by the imagination. Concrete can imitate any surface, from expensive marble and granite to slick glass or worn and faded terracotta and brick. This book takes you on a visual tour of amazing concrete applications indoors, from floors and countertops, to fireplace surrounds. It highlights groundbreaking artistry in concrete that is opening the doors for craftsmen, and even do-it-yourselfers, to create murals on floors, walls, and ceilings. A companion volume explores decorative applications for the home's exterior.

• Good Overview Of Decorative Cement Work 13 January, 2006
Excellent presentation of various types of decorative cement design. A great idea book, not designed to give one step by step instruction, but with this book a reader can tell what projects might be worth pursuing.

• Full Of Concrete Ideas 21 June, 2008
I'm not sure why this book got such a harsh review. It is true that every photo references the company that created it but why is that a bad idea. It makes it easy to get more information if you like the color or want to hire the person who did it. We acid stained our own floors and it came out great. Prior to buying the products we sought this book for ideas on what color stain to buy. It served that purpose well. There are plenty of concrete ideas for counters, floors and fireplaces. This is NOT an instruction manual, it offers no information on how to duplicate the photos that you see. If you buy it for inspiration only you will be satisfied.

• Very Dissapointing 25 July, 2008
This book is nothing more then a collection of photos. no how-to or process content. Poorly edited. Here is a sample from page 16(notice the repetition and use of courtesy four(4) times: "A thin veneer of concrete was treated to give this kitchen its ultra-contemporary feel, with the dramatic use of acid etching. The deep colors acheived by this process added depth and dimension .

• I Paid For Their Marketing Materials 07 November, 2005
What I got was 120 pages of marketing materials I could have gotten free at a home show. The photos are beautiful, the ideas are interesting, but there's almost not a single bit of practical help in there (the exceptions being pages 54,56-60). But there are plenty of references, one for every photo in fact, of which professional was responsible for each design/implementation, and in the back, handy contact information so you can hire them to do the job. In other words, I paid to look at their marketing materials.
