Countertop Do Over

This past September, we redid our countertops.  I love my counters!  While it wasn`t labor-instensive, it was a long process when factoring in drying times (24 hours between each coat). We did it after the boys went to bed, which allowed me minimal counter use during the day when I needed it.

The product we used was Rustoleum`s Stoneaffects. We used the Galaxy color (black with white specks). It is a 3 step process, and is very easy to do!

Here are my counters before. Love the fake marbly white & green. And check out that border! Nice huh?

This is Step 1, the primer. It is gritty, so the stone coat sticks to it.

Step 2 (and 3, we did 2 coats to fill in a couple spots) was the stone. It looks gray when wet but dries to the right color.

And the last coats (we did 2 of the epoxies)! It makes your counter shiny & smooth. It is also heatproof. I love the look of it!

This was one of our quickest, easiest renos! And I just adore the final look! You can`t even tell there are tiles underneath. So here we are, 1 step closer to my finished kitchen!
