The next time I get a floor done I'm going to hire an artist to paint little

Nah, just get real ones, and embed them in the epoxy coating instead of
sand...

My Aunt (now deceased) and her daughter, my Cousin, are both artists
and work with many materials. In her house is a beautiful kitchen and
dining room. Big restaraunt stove and ovens. They painted the floor as
if it was the surface of a pond. It has many layers of clear coat. It
is so realistic that you feel as if you are walking on water. It makes
you think you will sink into it. There are fish, plants, frogs, etc.
in the water. I wish I had that floor.


I saw a picture of a tromp l'oel bathroom floor last year where the
setting was you in mid air with nothing but air and clouds below you.
It was so realistic that I'd be willing to bet it was covered in
either vomit or fainted people half the time. (I've just had no luck
finding a copy on my computer.)
