You can upgrade countertops with a DIY concrete overlay, improving your kitchen ambience and aesthetics.
Clean existing countertops thoroughly and sand lightly. Mix concrete overlay and apply a thin layer with a trowel, smoothing evenly. Let it cure for 24 hours, then sand for a polished finish. Apply a second layer if needed, then seal with a food-safe sealant. This two-day project costs $100-$200.
The result is a modern, durable surface that mimics high-end concrete counters. With careful application, you’ll transform your kitchen’s look for a fraction of replacement costs. This could be a budget friendly activity and also beginner friendly, as it requires little expertise and could serve as fun activity that could be done alone or with friends.
