we looked into doing this, but a friend who owns a concrete business told me that concrete is not practical for a kitchen: it is very porous, so you could never prepare raw chicken on it.

i like the before better. very romantic. the floors look great, though.

if you are using an an acrylic paint, you can use a "polycrylic" which is a top coat specially made for over acrylic paints. it can be found next to the polyurethanes in home improvement stores.

i recently painted our cabinets, and i started with a greyish coat first, then did white over them sparingly. i then sanded parts of it, including the corners. it is a lot easier than expected.

good luck!

i just tried this, except with a color called "orange poppy". i'm going to make it into a lantern with wire. i'm excited to see how it turns out! hopefully it will be as subtle and classic looking as these blue ones, and not tacky.
