I really wanted to do this as well. I have looked into it on the web and at my local Lowe's. They do make concrete stains in all sorts of colors. The articles I read said to degrease with a concrete cleaner thoroughly. My thoughts were to first then use about a 4 inch painters tape and rip the sides of the tape to give a nice grout look. I would buy at least four colors and rag or sponge technique to get the look of the flagstone you want. As you probably already know flagstone comes in many different shades. Hope this helps. I am too busy reading your articles on painting the brick fireplace. lol
Next is the "real" hardwood floors. After that I plan on trying the effect I just gave you on my front house.
