I love rustic...absolutely love it! If you have read older posts you know I am a big square and I like things that are beautiful and well basic. So when my husband told me he was thinking of going into the concrete counter top business I jumped at the chance for a rustic counter top!
This is my main (main meaning the main one we use day in and day out) bathroom counter before: Um...that is a hair tie in the sink, and do you see those black marks on the sink that is were I dropped something and it chipped the sink. I did that when we first got the house almost 10 years ago and not one time since!
Go figure!
Here is another:
you can see the chips better in this one and a the outlet without a cover...we are getting to that.
So drum roll on my new counter top!..............ththththththththtthththtthhttththththt
Don'tcha just love it! I asked for black, but it seems that charcoal was as close to back as they could get...dreamy huh! Did I mention it only cost him about $20 (counter top only) to make?
Here it is in other angles:
If you notice the crease on the counter top in the picture above it's because my husband made this one upside down...and the tape (while flat when he laid it) wrinkled from the weight of the concrete. That is also why you see such color variations, that would not happen if you do it right side up-but I love it this way! I actually love it both ways!
So what do you think? You won't hurt my feelings none! My husband earned real brownie points in my eye! Now he HAS to do the whole house (all counter tops!)
I believe the gray is just the right color it looks great to me. Now that is what I want in my Kitchen with a granny sink. And I want One of my counters to be a chopping block top. Thanks for sharing . Love Mom.
Thor has a job with us when we get our house built.
He will be out counter top man. My hat is off too him.
We loved the wrinkles in the top in the bathroom. But in the kitchen we would like for it to be without the wrinkles. I haven't decided on the color for now. But I do love the color of black. Or gray.
I love that! I've never seen a counter out of concrete but it looks great! By the way - thanks for changing your blog back. I missed reading over here.
