Rustic Concrete Countertops: Transforming a Small Cabin Kitchen<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]I recently moved into a small rustic cabin and wanted to give my kitchen a rustic feel as well. After researching various options, I decided to go with concrete countertops and found concrete overlay to be the perfect solution. The project was substantial as I had to move the location of my kitchen.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”96067″ img_size=”720×474″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_3d”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”96066″ img_size=”720×474″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_3d”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]I used a plywood base topped with hardy backer boards, which I secured with screws and liquid nails.

The Great Debate: Painting or Refinishing a Formica Countertop?<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]I recently completed a one-day project to re-finish my bathroom vanity Formica countertops using Direct Colors’ Ash color concrete overlay and satin EasySealc sealer.

That’s exactly what our customers did, and the result is absolutely stunning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This project took four days to complete, and covered an estimated 23 square feet. To achieve the desired look, our customers worked in layers using ColorWave white, steel gray, and iron gray from Direct Colors. They also used water to help the colors blend together for a unique finish.<\/p>\n

Once they were happy with the look, they sealed the countertop with a Trinic topical sealer to give it a durable and long-lasting finish.<\/p>\n

If you’re considering a custom concrete countertop for your own home, our customers recommend working in layers and using water to help the colors blend together. And don’t forget to seal it with a high-quality product for lasting results. Happy DIY-ing!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

DIY Concrete Countertops: A Seasonal Home Upgrade with Acid Stained Finishes<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]We decided to upgrade the kitchen in our seasonal home by creating our own poured in place concrete countertops.
