Once we started designing the kitchen island we
knew there was no way we were affording a piece of granite to go on top of it. Since the top measured 6’x7′!We hate DEBT and a counter top is not WORTH that! . We decided to make a concrete counter top. I ordered quickrete’s counter top mix. I had to special order it from Lowes. It took two weeks to get. It was under $25 a bag. We need six bags, it cost us just under $150. Then we needed to buy the drip edge we used for the edge detail and some 2x4s to sturdy it up. We have under $300 invested in the concrete and supplies to make the top.
Here is the video on us making and pouring the concrete. If you want to see more on the WHOLE PROCESS! Which there is alot to. Go on over to our youtube channel Lumnah Acres and we have a playlist on the series.
