    I just finished my new studio earlier this year and I still am
    working on a concrete slab, and have had no intentions of painting
    it, yet, because I've been finding everything so far.  One thing
    that was most important, I had my husband silicon caulk all the
    joints between the cabinets, benches and walls, so there wouldn't be
    any black holes like in my last studio.  The guy who apprenticed me
    said I would spend about 10% of my bench time on the floor, and he
    was right, so I tried to engineer everything so that stones wouldn't
    have far to go if they dropped.  However, all of us in Orchid who
    have been doing this awhile know that some stones have wings and
    that they will fly away forever no matter what color our floor is. 
    I'm still grinning at the image of Karen in the tile store with her stones 
    and bench scraps (lol).
