I am jealous of the people living in Charlotte because they have easy access to Charlotte Concrete Designs. We were visiting and told a friend that we were thinking about redoing our bathroom and he said we had to check out this store. Good thing we did. We never realized that concrete could be used and made in so many different ways. It can be smooth like stone or textured. It can be a solid color or look like marble. They had sinks, counter tops, back splashes, etc. There are even wall panels. They have done one that looks just like wood for use in a shower(or wherever you want to use it.) I had never given it much thought and just thought of concrete sidewalks and building foundations and things like that. It was eye opening to see all the possibilities. We got so many ideas and the people there were so nice and knowledgeable. And they can make custom designs to fit specific needs. We are considering having them ship to us.
