Giani Granite Countertops!

They're FINALLY done! It only took us, oh, 5 months to tackle this project. The package has been sitting paitiently in our junk guest room waiting for us to put it to use. We had guests stay at our house last weekend (shoutout to The Bright's) and will have more guests this weekend (Jana & Ashley!) so we decided it needed to be done.

I failed to take step by step pics, but basically we rolled on the bottom black coat. Sponge painted three different colors (silver, black and copper) and then rolled on a few top clear coats. We used a Giani Granite paint kit and I would highly recommend it if you are looking to change up your countertops but don't want to spend a lot of money! The kits come in 6 different color schemes, have very easy step by step directions and only cost $69.95 before tax and shipping.

BEFORE:
a LOVELY shade of hunter green laminate countertops.

  14. It’s amazing how you did this makeover at such budget! Personally, I like granite countertops. They’re very resistant to stains and scratches. You can also be flexible designing your countertop as granite tends to go well with so many sink styles.
