Counter Top Transformation

Check out the difference that $70.00 and a weekend has made in my son Matt and his wife Brooke's kitchen.




I was very impressed with the counters at Matt and Brooke's house. This transformation was completely done by my daughter - in-law Brooke.  Instead of buying new counter-tops they resurfaced the tops they had.

Tracy had read about a product called Giani Granite that would make plain counter-tops look like granite, knowing that Brooke wanted to redo their kitchen she told Brooke about it.

Brooke and Matt found the product at their local Walmart for $70.00
1st Step:  Brooke applied the a coat of the black base to the entire counter and let it dry overnight

2nd Step: There are 3 different colors that need to be applied in 3ft square areas until the entire counter-top is covered. Allowing each color to dry before adding the next color.



This is what it looked like when all colors were applied and dry.


3 rd Step:  There is a clear coat to add over the entire counter-top as the final step. It needs to dry for 8 hours prior to sitting anything onto the counter. It will take about 7 days for the clear coat to be fully cured.



What an unbelievable change in their kitchen for only $70.00 and a weekend of time. Very Proud of the job they have done. I guess the next generation of DIY has begun.
