Countertop Transformation

This has been a very successful week in our kitchen. After taking 2 weeks off, we fell very behind and did not complete the project by my birthday. I think we can be finished by the end of this weekend though..I'm hopeful.
This week we got the backsplash tiled, finished mudding/sanding/painting the walls and I just finished the countertops.
We purchased a product called Countertop Transformation that transforms your laminate countertop in '3 easy steps': base coat, decorative chips, protective top coat.
 To anyone considering using this product my advice to you is BE PATIENT! Expect to have to redo some places..in my case several times. But in the end, it's worth it.  My new countertops look really good! I can resume light use in 2 days. I have to wait 7 days for full use.  These pictures below are before the top coat was applied.

 The next pictures will be of a completed kitchen.  I'm so excited to be finished with all this work.
