Monique, it's been awhile since I've been on the forum, but let me answer the questions you had.
Since my studio is a garage that function as a studio, the foundation was poured like a normal garage with 12" concrete walls that the stud walls are secured to. This left exposed concrete below the walls that needed to be covered. So we decided to build a ledge wall around the base of the wall to cover the concrete. I didn't realize how useful this would be when we first built it! It's been so nice to place unfinished paintings on to stand back and look at as well as just keep them off the floor.
I think the color is a semi-gloss, maybe satin...not quite sure, but it's definitely not gloss. And the floor is laminate (put down directly on the concrete) from builddirect.com, it's been good to have--I don't worry so much about getting stuff/spills on it like I would a natural wood floor.
Sorry about the late response, I hope you're enjoying your new space!
