The concrete counters were time consuming to mix, color, build forms, pour, etc. but Hubby is an Engineer and builds bridges. We thought the counters would be a piece of cake. lol! They are gorgeous. No joints, no lines, very durable and easy to clean.
The cabinets were custom built in the house when it was built in the early 80's so you can imagine how durable and sturdy those things are. A bit of cleaning up and new hardware is all it needed anyway.
Our bathroom floor was tiled last year. I was worried at the time that the grout was going to be way to dark for the color of the tile. I knew it would darken after drying so I actually argued (a little) with hubby that we should go lighter. Glad he didn't listen to me. The darker grout really ties it together better and hopefully doesn't show up foot traffic as much.
Painted cabinets in the kitchen always brings brightness into the room. Hope it works out for you.
