I was skeptical if I was going to be happy with this project and my expectations were blown away! It is so easy to do, almost foolproof because there’s no right or wrong way to sponge. Everything you need comes in the kit. I did this in one afternoon. You do have to make sure every step is fully dry before you start the next step, but the drying times are MUCH faster than the directions. By the time I got to the end of the counter, where I started was already dry to the touch, which means you have to work quick. I love the way it came out! So so happy with this. I did only need one kit to complete but a surface any larger than this definitely would need more kits. Love it! So happy!

3.Cooks Innovations 3 Pack Heat Resistant Mats for Countertop

Previously I used a metal tray with wheels that you push down in front to pull forward. The tray did fit my coffeemaker at the time I first bought it, but when I bought a different coffeemaker, the tray was rectangular and only moved in one direction, so the coffeemaker had to be placed sideways on the tray, which was not convenient to use. Also, the tray lost its smooth glide after a year and began to scrape. In looking for something that would fit the new size coffeemaker, I saw the mats. What I LOVE about them is that you can move them forward, backward, AND sideways! For me, that is the best part. There are no wheels, and no rattling or scraping. I placed the heavy coffeemaker on top of the medium sized mat and it fit perfectly. Now, when I want to use the coffeemaker, I slide it forward to use, and slide it back in its spot under the cupboard when I am done. No catching, scraping or fussing. I am so impressed! Since the order included 3 mats of different sizes, I placed the largest mat under my heavy mixer, even though I never thought of that when I ordered these. I no longer have to struggle to move the mixer to use it! It’s always been such a pain to move it around on the counter, and suddenly it is no longer a problem! Again, it glides! Also, my counter is tile. I saw some questions about using these on tile counters, and I’ve had no issues at all with that. I have no idea how long these mats will hold up, but even if they eventually wear out and need replacing, they are affordable enough to replace. Moving heavy appliances around on the kitchen counter is no longer an issue!

4.Paper Towel Holder Gold Kitchen Roll Holder

I ordered this item without really looking at the reviews with pictures. When I got around to looking, I was disappointed with what I saw. Rust stains left on people's counters, the base wobbling, etc. I paid less than $10 for it so, if it was complete trash, I wouldn't be too irritated. Well it looks like the customer complaints were heard! My screws are deep in the surface of the base, if they rust, there will be no stains on my counter, and the base is completely flush to my counter.It was very, very easy to put together, I love the black, and it holds even big rolls of paper towels. I recommend the former customers who were not pleased (with good reason) to give this new and improved paper towel holder another shot. I think they will appreciate the improvements.

5.CONSDAN Butcher Block Counter Top

The board is very nicely made and finished USA made maple board, will be excellent for my pizza dough and other breads, however the brass plate that the manufacturer attached to the board is installed with tacks and when driven slightly at an incorrect angle will bust the board, mine was delivered with the board busted for this reason. I will not attempt to return the 40lb board as I don’t feel it’s worth the effort only because I will only use one side and can hide the damage, it is unfortunate that the manufacturer didn’t catch the damage.
