Sorry...I'm going to be a "crumb" on your thread ...

I have a ? for you Miss Vel....please!

Have you, or any of your clients, ever had a concrete counter top installed in their homes? Did they like it? Would they do it again? Better surface than stone or tile?

I've doing some reading on the process and I am REEEEALLLY thinking of having concrete counter tops installed when we re-do our kitchen. I'm loving the look of it with all the options for color and texture's.

Any advice or thoughts welcome..Thanks!

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm


I'm fairly sure that I do not know how to respond. So I will go with the standard....

Show me your tits please!

Yes, yes and while it will stand up like stone I don't imagine the life span to be as long as something like granite - but who's say because it hasn't been around as long.

If that is the look you want GO FOR IT.

There are other options, similiar in look - I'll gather them up for you in the next 48 hours.

I would totally recommend it and have.

I have a photo somewhere.... hmmm

They are quite versatile, however cost wise it can be almost as expensive as granite!

Read between the lines G.

I've seen some wonderful pictures of the polished conrete - IT LOOKS LIKE REAL STONE! I'm sooooo loving the idea of installing this type of surface.

I spoke with my cupboard maker and he will have to "adjust" the plans in order to have the cab's carry such a load. HEAVY STUFF!

My mind is reeling with all the different things I could have done with this surface as well. Perhaps some fancy brush strokes while it's still wet...ORRRRR...Maybe some inlays with copper AND brass!ENDLESS IDEAS I WOULD IMAGINE!

THANK YOU! Let me know what ya find..Don;t spend too much time cuz I know you're busy...But... if ya have something handy..I'd love it!

Vixed, I did stained conctete as my fooring downstairs in my condo. I did look into doing a polished concrete countertop in my master bath, but was costly because so few people do it!

 

[vixenbabe]

NeedleBoy....Thanks ...Would you have it done again? Are you happy with it? I do not mind spending the $$$ cuz it'll be the last time I invest in such a project. I want to love it for a looooong time and be happy with my final choice! Know what I mean?

Sorry to ruin your thread Vel...Forgive me.....

 

[velvett]

Shouldn't be more than 90-125 per square foot.

 

[velvett]

Forgive?

Naw...

I love this stuff.

 

[The Shadow]

I know...I know....


You and Vix are having a moment......

 

[vixenbabe]

Still cheaper than stone at $ 90-125. Granite is DAMN pricey around here , perhaps everywhere!!!! I had a quote for granite at $135.00 sq. ft. installed! YIKES! Sell the kid....

I also happen to know someone who pours cement for a living. I wonder.....Hmmmmm, I bet he could do it!

I'd do the floors again in a minute!! I am having them re-sealed because I do not like the epoxy product they used. As for the counter -tops I's love to try them, I may try to build them myself. I have a neaighbor who runs Seamco one of the countries largest concrete products manufacturer and he would help I'm sure.

As for cost, if your doing floors it will run you $4-$6 per sq/ft in Tampa! My countertop was gonna be around $400 for a 6ft X 2.5 ft piece.

I'm having very light Birch cupboards built with a whitewash to them. VERY FRENCH INSPIRED!

I'm digging the thought of a creamy color for the countertops with a hint of peach color in it. The texture would be BEAUTIFUL!

 

[needleboy]

Sound sweet. I like french country it cozy. I re-ded my condo as a loft, very industrial, metal stairs, stainless steel kitchen etc.

 

[velvett]

vix!


what colors are you thinking of?
I can get you samples.

ACK.

PM me.
Or I'll PM you. or something.

*ahem*

Maybe I could get a professional opinion on the Uses of a Bathtub???

 

[vixenbabe]

lol...I guess my color choice sucks..

I was thinking a cream(whiteish) hint of peachy tanish color mixed . Kinda hard to explain ...

My cupboards will be WHITE washed with that creamy whiteish,peach undertone in it.

What kind of samples? I'd love any info you could send!
