A faux brick floor created by using sponges to apply concrete paint.
The project
When we built our house we built a quadruple garage, with half of the garage designated to being the man shed or bar. It just had plain concrete floors, and we decided to start there. I looked up many ideas and settled on faux bricks.
Steps
Step 1
Start with cleaning the concrete floor to prepare for painting.
Step 2
Use the roller and paint two coats of the cream paint. Cut the sponges in the shape of a brick (It's helpful to use a real brick to measure the right size).
Do a few practice rounds on paper using the sponge in the red paint. You will have to have a few half sponges cut, too, for when you get to the end of a row and can’t fit in a whole "brick". Afterwards, use the grey paint on a small sponge to dab random patterns to make it look like old, reclaimed bricks.
