Elite  3972      Reno |  Subject: RE: I am painting over knotty pine paneling.Resurrecting this one becaus we did it! Annie came out over Christmas and jump started us. We removed the scary bar and remnants of a closet to increase the usable size of this room, applied two coats of shellac based primer and two coats of paint (latex with primer in it). There was some paint in an eye from ceiling painting, but it was a first aid incident, not a LTI. . The third photo shows the "bar" area side. We had to tear the wall apart to tuck in some wiring, and while it was opened, we decided to insulate it and restore the wainscoting (it was all horizontal on that wall). We used scrap wood which I custom stained and then shellacked to have blend in. The first two photos were taken in the same lighting conditions! When it warms up, we will address the floor. Even if I liked this greenish acid stain with old paint glue squiggles, it did not extend under the bar area.

We're actually getting ready to acid stain our downstairs concrete floor. What are you going to do for flooring? |

Elite 3972 Reno | Subject: RE: I am painting over knotty pine paneling. Originally posted by Left Brain the concept of acid stained concrete is cool. I didn't mind it until we exposed parts that are not stained, and the glue squiggles aren't evident in these photos, but they ruin the effect. If I could do a do-over with the staining and have a lighter shade and continuous coverage, we would go for that. We are NOT looking for carpet, or laminate. It will be some kind of concrete treatment. But we hear we should wait for it to be warmer.Originally posted by bootygirl Resurrecting this one becaus we did it!

Like you, unfortunately, we are waiting until it gets warmer to do the work. (does anyone know when the hell that will be??) Once we start I'll throw some pics up. |

My uncle was something of a pioneer in the Indy area for stained/stamped concrete. He's done some pretty awesome work. When we get back to the states, I'm going to see if there's anything he can do for our basement floor.
