I personally know that when it comes to updating your counters there are so many choices out there. If you are like me, with limited funds, then the choices you may think you have may not be the ones you want to go with. I thought I was limited to laminate counter tops as far as making my kitchen look better. Never, did I think I could afford to make my kitchen look like I went out and bought granite for my counter tops. Well my fantasy of having granite looking counter tops at a very affordable price, is now a reality. I found this company called Giani Italian Granite Paint. The first thing I thought to myself was this was going to be to pricey. Not at all!! The kits you can choose from are very extremely affordable! Then I started to think, is this going to work? What if it doesnt turn out like they say it does? Then what? Let me tell you, this was so easy to do. There are 5 steps involved and yes it does take a few days to do, but the outcome is so worth it, and the price you pay for what you get is just unbelievable. I was very fortunate to be given a sample kit to try out in my own home compliments of the amazing people from Giani. But before I was given the kit to try and review, I had already made my mind up that once I was able to update my counters I would not look anywhere else. Once we were ready to show off our completed project to our neighbors and friends, the first reaction when we said that we painted the counter tops was disbelief. We had some friends, that we had to actually show the cans of paint to, before they would believe us, when we told them that not only did we do it ourselves, but we painted the counters to get the product they were looking at. We are very pleased with the outcome. Our counter tops truly look like we went out and bought granite then had it professionally installed!! My recommendation to anyone who is wanting to update their counter tops, is for them to head over to Giani Italian Granite Paint, to get that professional and expensive look, for a unbelievable price.

I LOVE the Sapphire Blue and Emerald Green, but I know my ever-practical husband will want something more neutral. That's okay, I could happily "settle" for the gorgeous Sicilian Sand! 🙂
