The first floor will remain concrete since it is planned as a garage and workshop. We will pretty up the shop area with an epoxy paint or something similar. The jury is still out on the garage floor; TBD.
We used the Rust-Oleum Epoxy Shield garage coating on our shop floor. It is a two part epoxy that you mix together and then roll it onto your concrete. We put it on fairly thick and then used the "paint speckles" to liven it up. It was easy to apply and looks great. We used the grey epoxy with the blue, dark grey and white paint speckles. With new concrete you don't have any of the surface prep problems associated with old concrete. The product can be purchased at Home Depot.
