Concrete Counter Tops #1

Concrete kitchen counter tops to be exact. After visiting a restaurant that had them at the bar, I am now in LOVE with them. I’ve seen some DIY’s out there, but not sure if it’s something I would want to tackle. Anyone DIY’d their own concrete counter tops? Anyone LOVE or HATE their concrete counters? Wondering how much upkeep they would need. I hear sealing them well is a really big key to keeping them looking their best. Meanwhile, please drool over the following counters.

Newest Addition!

While enjoying ourselves in Uptown Charlotte over our anniversary weekend, we happened upon a great little junk shop called Clark’s Antiques & Stuff (not making that up). It’s run by a funny man named Clark who has owned and run the shop for the last 30 years. He had two of these little beauties. Though not in the best of shape, the pink has faded an awful lot, it was the perfect size and shape to fit into our smaller downstairs living room.

I have plans on re-upholstering it in some kind of yellow fabric, preferably one that does not attract pet hair easily. I really love the velvet, but finding that in a bright yellow might prove to be kinda hard.

Getting back into the decorating mood. Dropped off there for a while. Starting to want the house to feel more like a home than a house.
