cute/cool bathroom, whichever you prefer

it'd be cool to do a concrete floor in a bathroom or other room, and use real boots, horseshoes, wheat stalks, nails, etc to stamp prints into the concrete. then stain it in a color of choice, and them seal it smooth so crap doesn't get all stuck in the imprints...

also, using a stamp print of some kind to stamp horses, cowboy hats, spurts, etc would be cool also...

i can picture this idea in the previously mentioned western style guest house or as part of a western basement or movie room...


i found these while looking around at stuff to press into concrete, i think they'd look so cool if you could get a good enough press...


probably press the backside of something like this in, since the "sheriff" would be backwards if done forward...


horseshoes. perfect.


elk tracks and leaf/fern prints


trout, that'd be cool


cowboy boots, a must. i originally just thought of a boot print, like this left picture... but i really like the outline too! i think it's a cookie cutter, but it'd be perfect. probably use both for variation.


somehow boots and horseshoes aren't complete without a bridle, but i'm not really sure how it'd work in concrete. maybe just use a strap with it's buckle, or maybe just do a few of the little silver rosettes in the concrete...


i just thought this was cute with all the different prints. not necessarily for this cowboy theme...
