You've seen my Harvest Gold countertops, right? A company named Giani says that they can turn them into granite! You heard me! For $50 a kit! I don't know if I believe it, but I definitely will try it... on that piece in the garage! I will let you know how it turns out, of course. Check out the pictures from their website.

If I can turn my countertops into anything resembling this, I'm all for it. And if after turning them into faux granite, they can withstand the rigors of cooking and cleaning, I'll become a spokeswoman. Just look at those photos! They have the "wow" factor I've been searching for. This, combined with melamine paint for the cabinets might be all the kitchen remodeling I need.
