DIY Stain concrete

So when we bought our house the outdoor concrete had a huge black ugly line in the middle of it. I needed a cheap and easy way to make it pretty so I googled and came across concrete stain.




I went to lowes and talked to the guy who told me all about this wonderful product.
Valspar Gallon Vaquero Brown Semi-Transparent Concrete Stain
It is amazing and cost just under $25.00. You will only use about 1/2 the can but keep it to touch it up.
I bought a rolling brush and pan at walmart for around $4.50 and that is all you need.

Next you just wash and scrub your concrete so it is all clean and let it completely dry for 24 hours.

Then you are ready to paint. It soaks in really quick and I only did one coat, no primer or concealer. Took me about 30 minutes to do and cost less than $30.00 total. Love the way this looks!!
