Faux Granite Countertops!

When we bought this house
I did not love the countertops
but I thought I could look past them...
a thousand stains later
I could no longer look past them. 

Unfortunately B was not interested in giving me the money to replace them so I bought a
DIY kit from Giani Granite. 

My Most Talented Mother came into town
a few weekends ago and we decided this would be our
weekend project.

The outcome... I no longer have to look past anything...
I just get to love my kitchen! 
I am so pleased and the total cost????  $50!!!! 

Now I am going to start working on
painting the cabinets:)


Before: The stains I could not get up...

Before: White

Getting ready for the transformation...

Sponging... that's right sponging!

Before sealing

The finished product! 


Please excuse the mess on the table:(

The bar that goes into the living room was my favorite part!

Comparing how the kitchen look before and after the job is really awesome. There really is a huge difference in appearance there.
