DIY Concrete Countertops

This kitchen has existed in my head for a long time. I wanted it to feel warm, worn in, cozy, imperfect… but still functional enough to survive real life on a busy homestead. So naturally, instead of choosing the safe option, we decided to attempt concrete countertops ourselves using the Z Countertop Forms system as complete beginners. In this video, you’ll see the full process as we experienced it. Building the forms, laying reinforcement mesh, pouring the concrete, filling cracks, making mistakes, dying concrete, sealing, and figuring things out as we went. This definitely isn’t a professional tutorial from experts. It’s just an honest look at our first time building concrete countertops… what worked, what surprised us, what stressed us out, and how they ultimately transformed our kitchen. At the end we also give a complete and honest pricing breakdown and comparison to other countertop quotes we got. If you love old houses, DIY projects, slow living, cozy spaces, and watching people confidently attempt things they’ve never done before… I hope you enjoy spending this part of the journey with us.
