I want to stain the concrete in my living room and other rooms.....?
Answers:
You're removing the tile I'm assuming?
You'll need to prime the concrete in order to have stain adhere to it - the primer should cover the grout lines and give you a single-tone finish.
Good luck!

If the cement underlining is sanded properly the grout lines shouldn't show. There are some really awsome staining techniques for cement flooring now.
Sand off the mastic under the tile along with the grout and you're good to go. Kemiko stains give the best results.
