Kitchen Countertop Update

Well, guys, I bit the bullet and ordered the Giani Granite Paint for Countertops in Jet Black (see my original dillemma post here).  I decided to try it out on this part of the kitchen where there’s no backsplash first:

  12. Hey, Christy, thanks for stopping by. Oh, I can't wait to see your countertops, sounds neat. I'll have to follow you on Twitter too.

    That Restoration Hdwe. is brand new from what I heard, so that's why you missed it! Neat that you stayed at the Henderson Inn, so pretty.

  13. What was the final decision/outcome of your countertop dilemma? I'm curious to know what you finally decided on for the rest of the kitchen. :) We're currently in the midst of our own kitchen countertop dilemma!
