In the bedroom . . .
A stenciled floor border
Homeowner Sandra Quintus applied her skills as a faux finishing artist
to adorn the concrete floor in her master bedroom with stenciled designs
in an Irish Celtic knot pattern. In the master bath, she used
the same pattern on the concrete vanity and on the shower floor to
create faux tiles. Her kitchen countertops
and fireplace hearth are also concrete.

In the dining room . . .
A cast-in-place concrete island
Concrete appealed to the owners of
this loft-style New York apartment because of its clean look and ability to be customized in color and
texture. They used it extensively throughout the space, including
a cast-in-place island and countertops and trowel-applied
finishes for the bathroom walls and fireplace surround. Custom colors were developed for all of the concrete finishes.

In the living room . . .
A two-sided fireplace
This exquisite custom-built home represents the cr?me de la cr?me of what is possible when a material as versatile as concrete is taken to its full potential. In addition to this spectacular two-sided concrete fireplace separating the living room and dining room, the home features bathroom walls covered with beige-toned concrete tiles, a walnut-colored kitchen island with fossil inlays, and a dining room bar accented by Chianti-colored concrete panels.

In the bathroom . . .
A custom bathtub
This uniquely shaped precast concrete tub was custom made for the owners of a Wellesley,
Mass., home built in the 1980s. The master bathroom suite on the second
floor was in need of an overhaul, and the owners were keen on using
concrete. They had previously refurbished another bathroom in the
home with concrete and loved its
stone-like appearance and hand-made qualities.

In the office . . .
A computer desk
Custom precast concrete elements can be seen everywhere in this sports-themed home in Grand Rapids, Mich., including the window ledges, a computer desk, a fireplace surround, a scorekeeping
table, a massive 4-inch-thick bartop, and circular tables "floating" around steel columns.
