Well, I guess it is better late then never. Right? Well, it has been quite a stressful day for me to say the least. I got up this morning early and took advantage of Cameron sleeping in until 10:00. Oh how I wish I could have slept in today. Anyway, my mind was racing and there was no way I could sleep since my project wasn't done and complete. So, I got up and completed all of my caulking that I had left to do. I also had to apply some stain where the countertop got nicked up while my FIL cut out the hole for the sink. Oh - I was sick about the nicks, but everyone reassured me that it would just make it look more prim. So, I applied the stain and had to apply a couple coats of the poly over top of that. Unfortunately, I applied the poly and it dried cloudy. Hmmm, that had me baffled because it hasn't dried cloudy at all with the 4 coats that I put on it. So, I sanded off those sections again and reapplied the poly. Luckily, it is drying clear this time so hopefully I can apply one more coat in the morning and it should be complete. My husband was able to get the faucet in with his Dad walking him through everything which I was so thankful for. He is becoming quite the handyman and I am so happy and thankful for that - Thank you honey!! Well, let's get to what you all have been waiting so patiently for.......my new prim wood countertops. Definitely a stressful project, but well worth it in the end. Hope you enjoy the pictures!!

Oh just stopping by & really love the wood counters. I have them in my bathroom. Yours look simply fabulous!!!!!!!
Those are great counter tops!!!
The look goes all so well with the color of your cupboards. I have been trying to convince hubby to make a wooden counter top for the bathrooms, but I don't think I have him sold yet...LOL. I will have to show him yours :)
these look AWSOME!!!! I LOVE them and would LOVE to do these to mine!!!

THANKS for sharing!

Wow - really nice! The darker counters really warm up the kitchen.
I have two words for your counter top Lisa. "Absolutely Beautiful" You did a fantastic job. They could not have turned out any better than they did. I've been wanting to makeover my kitchen for about 3-4 years now but have just never gotten around to it for one reason or another. Glad to see someone is on the ball.
Hugs,
AMY
