| Our new concrete vanity just got installed a couple of days ago and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out! The close up pic shows the colors better. Still have to put the back splash on but I was too excited not to share with someone.

| That's awesome!
Maybe I'm being dense, but how do the sinks drain? |

| There's a gap between the sink and the back of the vanity for water to drain.
I had so much fun designing this and had them put our brand on "my" side of the sink. |

Location: Somewhere between raising hell and Amazing Grace | This is how we will be doing all our counter tops when we retire and finally have a forever home. Not this literal exactly design, but using concrete. The kitchen and utility rooms will have regular sinks though so they can hold water, but not the bathroom sinks.
Congrats! They look amazing!!! |

We did brownish concrete countertops in our kitchen. Our sink is a 4' wide old concrete wash tub from waayyyy back.
The countertops are soooo smooth to the touch, I'm so glad we decided to go this route! |

| Our kitchen is in pieces right now, I can get pics when it's closer to being done. We are converting a barn into our house and we're on the home stretch. Final round of inspections will be in the next week or so.  |

Location: MI | Very, very cool. I love your bathroom vanity too! My husband found one of those concrete sinks at an auction and picked it up. We are going to build an outdoor kitchen on our deck and use it. I LOVE the concrete countertops, but we decided to go with polished concrete floor and then change out the counters later. Love yours though, they're awesome! |

| We did concrete floor in the kitchen too. It's a dyed concrete that was stamped in a plank pattern then an antique glaze was put over it.

Thank you! I was very particular about the pattern for the concrete. Most of what I've seen I didn't care for. It looked too fake or cheesy for my taste. The concrete was dyed prior to the pour so it's this wheat color all the way through. When they put the antique glaze on it it made the wood grain really pop and give it dimension. |

We didn't do the concrete ourselves. Our builder recommended this company so that's who we went with. |

In the picture it looks like wood not concrete or tile.... They did an awesome job. |

That is really cool. Do you think it will scratch easy?? We are building, I want real wood floors I know our dogs will scratch them. I had stained concrete in my last house and my dining table charisma, which weigh about 50 pounds, scratched them. I don't think my floor was done right though. Love all you are doing. |

There are 3 coats of sealer on the floors. Paint, polyurethane, etc will not stain it. it will pool on top of the sealers until you clean it up. We slid a heavy cabinet across the floor and left a surface-only scratch mark. I dipped a rag in some floor care stuff the concrete guy gave me and the scuff mark is gone. |
