{ This is a sponsored post with Giani Countertops. We received our kit to transform our countertops. A huge thank you to Giani for this collaboration! }
Finally we get to share with you all what we have been up to the past few weeks and we could not be more excited to show you our new kitchen!
Remember what we had to work with?
When Giani Countertops wanted to collaborate with us providing a kit to help us resurface our countertops we could not resist! Giani provided us the tools we needed to achieve and completely change our infamous orange counters.
This is a painting process to resemble to look of granite – layers upon layers of a painting application, finishing with a sealer that provides your countertops with a gorgeous gloss. We chose to go for the marble look, not the granite look ( both achieved with different applications of the product ) and we could not be happier with the results! The best part? The entire process was so easy and completely fool-proof. I watched the videos a few times on their website + did everything all on my own!
You should follow Giani on their social media outlets too to see all of the transformations!
I did the entire kitchen by myself while Dan was at work over the course of two weeks and the countertops were the easiest and fastest part of all. We chose the white diamond kit to try something new, seeing as our old kitchen had black concrete countertops (again DIY). Everyone who comes over cannot believe these were resurfaced, everyone assumes we bought brand new countertops. I cannot rave enough about Giani Countertops… we are truly smitten with this product!
The cabinets were painted, hardware spray painted a glossy black and the walls even received a new coat of paint.
(I’ll update you all on the color choices we made later this week!)
Ready to see the before and after?!
Can you even handle it?! We chose to do a darker base for the bottom cabinets and white for the top to open up the space a bit more. It was SO dark and spooky before and the White Diamond Giani Countertops just pulled this entire vision together in the simplest most beautiful way ever!
It is amazing what you can do on a small (and I mean small) budget. Giani Countertop kits are only $79.95 – so to think you could completely transform your countertops for under $80 is just bananas! We got a quote for new laminate countertops to be installed and it was $1,000 – FOR LAMINATE AGAIN. This product really saved us and gave us exactly the look we were going for!
Of course my favorite pictures followed us from our old house and found their way to our kitchen. Farm life dreamin’
The sealer was the final step (2 coats) and gave the countertops the perfect shine to them.
We added our favorite DIY SHELVING again in our kitchen too. Decked out with my favorite cook books (seriously, My Drunk Kitchen is off the chain – I love Hannah Hart) and a few Holiday inspired items. I am loving having the salt and sugar in arms reach!
The entire space feels so much more open – the flow from room to room now is smooth as butter and this kitchen no longer stops you in your tracks for the wrong reasons! Minus the dishwasher – ha. Cannot wait to replace that.
