Default Decorative finish for concrete floor

I'm tired of the usual carpet/tile/wood/laminate method of treating inside
concrete floors and looking for something a little different.

Thinking about cleaning the floor and staining it with something like
swirled dark brown and green and then polyurethaning it.

Anyone have any wisdom on doing/not doing this?

On Friday the White House estimated that "the budget deficit would
reach
$445 billion in this fiscal year, by far the largest shortfall
ever." The
administration claims that this figure is an improvement, but in
February
2003 the White House estimated that the deficit for 2004 would be
just over
$300 billion............................www.misleader.org
