My dream for the future: concrete floors

Currently, our apartment has a fairly dark blue-grey carpet. We didn't choose it - it was here when we moved in two years ago and, not being in the financial position to change it any time soon, we simply decided to work with it and change the rest of the interior elements to suit.

When the carpet is finally ready to be removed (still not for many years, I expect), my ultimate dream is to polish the concrete underneath. After all, cool concrete floors would be PERFECT for such a humid climate, and I'm amazed that more apartments here don't do it (most have concrete floors concealed underneath carpet or tiles). It may not happen - maybe we'll end up with floating wooden or bamboo floors instead, which will also look great - but I'm still going to dream. Behold, some amazing interior concrete floors!

And, now, imagine how totally awesome our place would look if the carpet was replaced with a nice, cool concrete floor...
