We're Floored

The downstairs floors at our house are made of concrete.  First we scored the concrete to look like tiles, then we subsequently hand-stained and sealed them.  We really like the look, but we've become increasingly dissatisfied as dirt and food have collected in the deep grooves around each "tile," and our floor now looks habitually dirty.  While we fully intended to fill the grooves with grout shortly after we moved in (over 3 years ago), time has gotten the best of us.  The rather dismal state of our floors has become all too apparent in the spring sunlight, so fixing them has become our latest project.

We also took this opportunity to re-seal and then poly the floor to give it a nice sheen.  I LOVE it, and it sure is easier to clean.  I might just want to vacuum and mop a little more...  Or not.
