Was looking for something different for my concrete floor when I remembered seeing a painted concrete floor many years ago. I can't remember the pattern but it was beautiful. I am thinking this is the look I want. Any information about painting new concrete floors and ideas for a pattern that would go with a western/rustic decor would be appreciated. Walls will be a textured stucco.

I think you'd be much happier with stain rather than paint; paint wears off eventually and you can get some great looks with stains. Go to http://www.acid-stain.com for some great ideas and helpful information. I did our 3,000 sq. ft. home and enjoyed doing it. Be creative! With your decor you might want to try a leather look. Good luck!
