I only managed to get a few good photos before the clouds rushed in and stole my natural lighting. Levi made me a concrete countertop for my island over the weekend and I LOVE it. I didn’t want anything fancy, nothing faux, just good old industrial concrete, Levi’s specialty. Easy(helps that Levi is a concrete man:), inexpensive and feels so nice to touch.
We had zinc and though I loved the look of it, because of the width of our island we had to have a seam and had some warping issues. The concrete gives me the same look, but is seamless. It also washes up nicer than the zinc as water doesn’t bead up on it.
Step by Step instructions and more photos coming soon.
Cool, cool! And Happy Birthday again!!
LOVE it!! Can I borrow Levi! LOL!! Awesome job. Thanks for sharing with us.
Love it!
I love it Jen! Just gorgeous! Do you have before/after photos? i don’t remember what it looked like before…
Can Levi come to my house and put concrete floors in my kitchen? I’m serious.
I cant wait for the step by step instructions, this is right up my alley! Thank you for sharing! :0)

Seriously love it. I spent several hours yesterday watching videos and looking at websites trying to figure out if my husband and sons-in-law could do that for me. Can’t wait

Oh I am in loooovvvvveeee with this….your new concrete kitchen counter. I have always wanted to do this so I will be looking forward to seeing how it is possible…even if I never attempt it. Just love it!
It looks stunning!
Thanks for all of the information, great blog by the way.
I am getting your review up and going. 🙂
HOW NICE! I didn’t get an island in the house we have right now. Totally bummed me out…if we move to Dallas…I WILL have one! 😉 Enjoy!
I love the look of the cement with the copper tub. We will soon be redoing our kitchen and I think I might steal this idea… Love it.
Concrete countertops are my FAVORITE! I wish I had done them here! it looks so industrial which really appeals to me lately.
i love the look…with the copper? sink and dark faucet. your plants are triving. i seem to kill all mine later.
