There is a conCrete veneer system called xbond which given the right substrate, being a fc board, the layer is as minimal as 6mm. Can be laid over existing tile or cement, and as mentioned on a stumped house. Look up Xbond

Congratulations, really good bones, lots of nice natural light. I was a bit unsure if you were about to do kitchen laundry. The current kitchen looks neat and tidy but here are a few thoughts if that is what you are about to do. I love bamboo floors. Would be good to see what they look like. Some thoughts Structurally are you able to take out the two kitchen walls that enclose the kitchen from the living dining. Leave the entrance wall in creating an open plan living dining with either a peninsula or an island bench with breakfast bar. Keep that area closed from rest of the house as is now to save on your heating cooling costs. Can you locate the laundry into the current mud room and perhaps expand that room - though functionally it is a long way from the rest of house. It may pay to get a building designer to help you. The fee would be worth it. Especially if changing structural features like walls. Court yard - are you able to put a roof over it then you would be able to walk to games room under cover depending how much access you would like to that room and how frequently you would use it. However you would behave box gutters and they would need to be able to take high volumes of rain Good luck and keep us posted with updates.

For any coating to adhere properly to the floor it will need to be sanded back completely. Lime washing the floor is always an option, but it is more expensive. White floors will always show more dirt and will require more maintenance to look their best. The floors you have would look beautiful sanded and polished. Staining the floor slightly darker is always an option as well. For help with your decision take a look at our floor sanding blog. Enter staining floors or liming into the search. Different looks can be created by choosing gloss or stain finishes as well. http://budgetfloorsanding.com.au/ Hope this helps with your decision.
