Hi everyone! Thank you so much for watching. I have gotten complaints about the music being too loud in comparison to me speaking, if this is the case for you there are captions on this video so you can turn the volume down if needed! I hope that helps! I cannot change the volume of the music now. Thank you again for watching! Make sure to check out my kitchen makeover video after you’re done with this th-cam.com/video/QwoAwgDsCKw/w-d-xo.html
So, from your comments that tells me that I need to get my ac vents cleaned out before I resurface the counter tops. It was built in 1995 with the house I'm looking at to purchase. I've seen coupons for $150 or so from companies who do that sent out thru the mail from Valu Time coupons. Maybe watch for it in the coupons of your newspaper too. Thanks for posting this video. I am in Temple, TX and if I get the house I will relocate to small town Texas about 90 minutes north of here and cuts commute time to my parents if they choose to come live there with me. (*Its got a pool so it's a steal deal for the price!) My apt has some sort of kit but the caulk at the wall above the back splash looks totally awful! I want to try to fix it here before I move over to the house. WWYD? The ceiling collapsed in the kitchen before I moved in, so all of the cabinets have water damage and I asked if it's ok to paint with sealer and paint the cabinets white to seal in whatever mold maybe there? But I don't have answer to that yet. In some apts I've seen that they've used gray latex paint on the caninets that's peeling horribly. But mine specifically haven't been painted at all. They're putting black appliances into these apts. I thought maybe white "marble" counters would go well with that paint color. I think white subway tiles are nice for the upper splash guard too, say like behind the stove or sink areas to protect against getting MORE water damages. I can get those as peel and stick items too, but that's yet another project in the updating process.
Hi thank you for your video :)...I was just wondering if the product you used didn't need a heat gun or torch to remove the air bubbles? Was there no bubbles forming after you poured the epoxy? Thank you in advance!
This is the best Do It Yourselfer video using the Leggari Products I have seen. If anyone has been in doubt about taking on a project like this, ya'lls video will eliminate the doubt! Thank you very much for taking the time to produce this awesome video. Now, if I could only find a DIY video(by a Do It Yourselfer) of the Dirty Pour as good as yours, I will be in hog heaven! If I do, I will come back and post a link to it. God is good! His mercy endures forever!
I watched a lot of epoxy videos before I gave up on doing it 😂. I honestly think yours was the most thorough while still explaining very well. Most videos were not enough info or overwhelming. I may revisit the idea now 😂
Thank you!!!!!! Omg I agree completely. Every video I’ve seen I’m always like wait how did you get this to do this or how did we just go from nothing to the counters being done lol. I tried to be as thorough as possible, I’m sure I forgot to say some stuff I wanted to say so I’m gonna do a tips video this weekend. It was honestly SOOOOOO much easier than I anticipated!!!! 🙌🏻😍 try it!
If you haven’t used epoxy. I suggest doing a smaller project. Like a side table. It helps. You could also do your kitchen in pieces instead of the entire thing. Bc that can be overwhelming
I enjoyed that - haven’t found any other good videos about how to change the colour of counter tops even on the videos of how to update a kitchen on a budget so really glad I found this
Well you just lit the fire under my butt to get them done!!!! I will for sure do a video of the cabinets, even if they turn out bad. It can be a how not to paint your cabinets if they take a turn for the worst 😂
This was fabulous! I am doing my kitchen now...not going to do the counter top but i have a ledge that I can make my very first project! You made me a believer! Thanks,...
Thanks for sharing .I want to do my counter top but was afraid to try on my own. Seeing you and your husband did such s great job I am getting the courage do mine on my own. You're both talented good team work 👋👋👋👋
You did a great job!! I painted my cupboards with a chalk paint then put poly acrylic on top, love the way they turned out. I too used legal for my counter tops, very dissapointed after 1 year, they yellowed!!! Look horrible!! I redid them with stone coat counter top epoxy and used a black spray marveling paint, difference between night and day!! I have had them newly done now for 2 years and they are amazing!!!
That is so cool! I have never used chalk paint but I always hear great things!! Ugh, yes ours are sttarting to yellow in some places and I wish I knew what it was from. Probably going to contact them because it definitely should not be yellowing! Maybe we will just have to redo them!
Jewel of Wisdom the product she is talking about is the legari product that I used in this video. Ours are starting to yellow 7 months in as well, but only in a few spots. Definitely not happy about it. Stonecoat countertops was our runner up in choice for product we were going to use and probably should’ve gone with them instead 🤣
@Bronte’s Life thanks so much for stepping in and responding. So sorry you’re experiencing yellowing as well (As the other comment or) but thanks for the heads up. You should probably consider doing an update and stonecoat resolution since so many will be using the other product based upon your recommendation not knowing the short term implications...Just a thought.
Jewel of Wisdom I will definitely do an update! When we did the countertops and up until the last month or so they’ve been amazing! Held up so well. We have a couple of yellowed spots, but not the whole countertop. I feel like maybe doing the urethane top coat on such white countertops may not have been the best choice lol. Urethane can discolor and that’s definitely what happened! I could be totally wrong though. When we did the countertops and up until recently they were amazing, the products were super easy to work with, and the fact what everything came together was awesome!!!!! Maybe too good to be true 😂
Hi there! This looks wonderful! How does it look, 4 years later? How has it held up? Has it worn in some spots? Can you show recent pictures? Thank you so much!
It looks GREAT!!! I would be to scared to do it myself, I'm gong to send this to my husband. The only counter we have in our kitchen is as long as your counter with the sink .
Thank you!!!!!! I was so scared to do it. Like sweating all over kinda scared lol 😂 it was seriously sooooo easy to do and WAY more cost effective than actually replacing the countertops! They’re really durable too! I highly recommend it. I think it’s under $500 for the whole kit AND the top coat. The kit will cover up to 50sqft and we have 39sqft, so if you only have the long counter space you’re golden and you only need one kit!
It turned out great . I was so curious about this. I wanted to see regular people like me do this with no experience. Thanks so much. Now you just convinced me to try.
Thank you!!!!! It was actually fairly easy, just time consuming. We still love it! I have a one year update video on my channel too in case you’re curious about how it’s held up!
Truly awesome job! U all made it look fun and doable. Thank you for giving so much great info. I am amazed at the gold transformation to that marble. Kool stuff
Hi! I am your “newest/ biggest” fan, lol. I am watching all of your videos! I liked the music and loved your tips / suggestions as well as your excitement and dancing 🙌😂 thanks for posting these!
New sub. I'm so happy I came across your video. I'm now committing myself to doing this. As others have said, this is the best video by far and wasn't intimidating like when I watch the Legarri Video and they also use that fire torch. Oh no...not me, but YOU made is possible. Thanks so much. It looks Fantastic.!!!!
I am so happy you’ve come across it!!! Thank you so much! I had those exact same thoughts and feelings watching some of the videos. There was no way I was about to take a torch to anything. I’m so happy that you enjoyed this!!! Thank you thank you!! 😍😍😍😍
Oh my gaaasshhhhh. I’m DROOLING!!!! You guys did an AMAZING job!!!! *packs up kids and goes to Lowe’s to buy all of these supplies to do my counters* 😂😂🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much!!!!!!!!! 😍😍😍 I want to epoxy all of our countertops now! It was so much easier than I ever expected and gave the kitchen a totally different look and feel 😍😍😍😍😍 I am in love!!!
Omg… I’m overwhelmed after the video lol… I’m tired from just watching. I want to updated countertop but omg all those steps lol. You got to do what you got to do. 😂 good job.
Thank you!!! It depends on the square footage of your counters. We used 1 kit for ours. The kit is $395 and include the primer and highlight colors. Only thing it doesn’t include is rollers, tape, plastic, buckets, stuff like that.
Looks amazing. Don't want to fork out thousands on a 20 yo laminate benchtop, I am going to try this. Does epoxy feel smooth like granite/marble ? Was told epoxy is sensitive to heat, don't place anything hot on it, is that true ?
I hope you get this comment and it helps. I watched your year update as I was researching epoxy countertops. I just watched another video and she used a product called tanwise tan remover to get stains out of her epoxy countertops. She listed Sally’s carries it also Amazon. I don’t know if you still have that stain but this may help. If you try and it works please let me know lol. Your projects look great.
@@jenniferescobedo3655 it depends what you want. Maybe not if you want laminate countertops, but if you want quartz or granite then yes. Depends on size of your kitchen. Price it all out! Calculate square footage then find whatever countertops you want. We couldn’t afford the quartz we wanted, so for us it was the affordable option to get the look we wanted.
Your countertops look great and I actually like the rolled look of the added color over actual veining. I do have one question. I've seen many videos so I'm not sure which product it was used with but to get the bubbles out the person sprayed rubbing alcohol over the top and it eliminated the bubbles. Do you know anything about this?
Thank you so much!!! From my understanding the rubbing alcohol will give it some sort of effect for aesthetic purposes when you’re doing the highlight color (veining) and not necessarily get rid of bubbles. I could totally be wrong though. I think different products require different things. Some people recommend using a heat gun or blow dryer for bubbles. We only had two spots that bubbles and they popped on their own while setting. I don’t know if that answer was helpful or not 😂 I’m so sorry if it wasn’t
Wow, this was awesome, you guys did an excellent job, just fabulous, awaiting to do my counter tops, Great tips, great information, live it, live you guys, God Bless You Both, remember you are amazing!...👏👌👍✨💞😄🙏🙋🤗🥰👍✨🙏🙏🙏🙏
Soooo beautiful!! I always wanted to do this but I’m scare about it, even though I stained my own kitchen cabinets. You did awesome and you make it look easier. Thanks for the video!🌹blessings
Hi! Thank you so much. Here is a full 1 year update. th-cam.com/video/HhxgzRw41hA/w-d-xo.html we are going on two years in January and not much has changed since this video :)
Looks great.. Are you planning on painting your kitchen cabinets? I have the same ones you have and am itching to paint them but too scared that I will ruin them.. They are in great shape I just don't care for that orangy oak color and want to paint them white.
Thank you so much! Yes we are! That is next up on my to do list. I’m honestly super intimidated to do them for the same reasons. I do not like the orangey oak at all, but I’m also scared they’re gonna look horrible if I paint them. But I’m going to attempt it!!! I just need to figure out when and if I’m gonna try to do sections at a time or just go for the whole thing!
Thank you so much!!! I’m not exactly sure to be honest. We measured out our square footage and calculated what we needed that way. We only used one kit
I am so hooked on your videos, you make it look so simple and great results. I noticed that you did the countertops prior to painting the cabinets. Do you suggest following that order as well...
This video was so helpful and has convinced me to finally do this! Thank you so much for all the advice, tips, and tricks! I’m getting ready to order my kit and was wondering what kit you ordered. Thanks in advance!
Thank you so much!!!! You are so welcome!! I think it was kit 2. I will double check on that though! You can do it! It was time consuming, but not hard by any means! 💜💜💜💜
Thank you so much!!! It should last a while! I’m not sure exactly how long, but at the very least a few years. Our countertops have held up really well! I don’t baby them. We have very minor scratches on them that you can only see in certain lighting and I’m not sure if it’s from sliding stuff around or just the marks left behind when sanding before the top coat. Either way, you can only see them when the light hits a certain way and if you’re looking closely. A couple of spots have stained, but I have no clue what was set there to stain them. Other than that they’re great! Still going strong almost 8 months later!
Thank you so much!!! It was super fun to do and see it all come to life. Thank you!!! Yes, anytime! I’m not an expert, but I’ve watched a million and one epoxy videos lol and read as much as I could about how to do it!
I also noticed you got a new sink. Did you have to cut your existing countertops to make the new sink fit or just purchased one the same size as your old one?
What is the heat resistance of the Legarri Products ?? Great video , I have been on the fence about trying this method also & the heat resistance is one of the important factors to me. Thanks for sharing your technique, you did make it look a lot easier than most videos I have seen. Also do you know if it would be possible to put an additional clear coat after time if there does happen to be any scratches or such ?? Thank you & Merry Christmas !!! 🎅🎅🎅🤶🤶🤶🌲🌲🌲❄❄
It is supposed to be heat resistant, but I have never put it to the test other than a hot coffee mug or a plate with hot food. I always use a trivet or pot holder. And you’re welcome!!! I’m sure you could put an additional top coat, but I’m not 100% sure. I haven’t had any issues with scratches and it’s been just about a year 😊 thank you so much!!!!! Merry Christmas to you and yours as well!! 😍🎄❤️
Thank you so much, Melissa!! 💕😘 Girl, I had to paint part of the kitchen before getting the final shots lol I could not handle the old paint with the new counters!!
Your appliances looked in great shape, I would have liked to see how they would have looked with the white and gray cupboards.(nice I think) I know stainless is the trend. Hope the appliances were able to be used again.
Stainless or a darker metal is our preferred color of choice for appliances. All personal preference! So, that is why we chose to change them out when we could. We sold all of them to others who needed appliances for a very good price. So they’re being used by those people 🧡
Hi! They’ve held up well. I have never put hot stuff directly on my counters because that’s just what I was taught growing up. I always use a trivet or pot holder, so I can’t speak on that. I would say their product is a quality product and the company is very helpful with good customer service.
What I liked about leggari is that their kits came with the primer and highlight colors (even though I opted not to use them). Also, they don't require applying any heat to the countertops. That intimidated me with other brands, not gonna lie. I'm sure stonecoat is great though! Those were just my main two reasons for choosing leggari. They have great customer service too :)
Nice epoxy work on the counters! Question...do you know if the epoxy coating resist heat (hot pan) & stain (e.g. pomegranate juice) once it's completely cured. We have a dark granite counter we like to brighten up (similar in color to your white marble countertop color) but can't see spending around $5K. Just subscribed. Thank you!
Okay! So I realize that I was under my sons google acount when I first watched this video and thats why I wasnt subbed because he wasnt but now he is too! Lol! So you just gained another sub from my son! Lol Amazing video! You guys made it look very simple and easy! Looks beautiful!!😘✌
Just a quick question please. I just ordered my first Leggari epoxy kit! Your countertops look exactly like mine, however... my counters have a very slight bump on the edge. It looks like yours is the same. Did you have NY trouble with the epoxy flowing up and over that edge? I see it on your counters but the island is different. Your help is appreciated! Please and thank you 😊
The back area with the lip (the backsplash) we had issues with because my husband didn’t roll any of the drips out before they set. The front rounded edge no issues! Just made sure to go heavy on the primer in those areas
7:51 if wanna “save the material” getting “every last bit out” than here’s what ya do. Go buy a 5 pack of flexible “bench scrapers”. The stuff bakers use to get batters, mixes, etc out of mixing bowls, pans, etc…. They come in 2 main “flavors”: silicone and plastic. My preference is buy BOTH, b/c sometimes the plastic works well and sometimes the silicone is best. Just depends on material using AND, a 2-5 pack of plastic cost $2-$6 at dollar store (or Amazon) and a 1-2 pack of silicone cost around $8-$15 depending on brand, size, & durability etc…(and can find on Amazon, Walmart, Target, but usually won’t find at a dollar store). They work well getting paint, and other materials out of buckets, bowls, containers…..and if want to clean them up well, can use for baking (bumptious personally I wouldn’t do that, as why risk it 😉). Great vid and beautiful countertops…..looks nice
Thank you!! Honestly they’re not bad at all. The spray paint on the other hand... I would definitely be doing that in a well ventilated area we ended up having to open up the doors. The epoxy kit itself is not bad at all, very low fumes.
Wowza this look great!! Incredible job and I have those same countertops the before so I can relate!! You have inspired me. Gorgeous work!! You both should be so proud of yourselves. 😊🙂👍👀🏡🏡
You’re welcome! I do not, just this one. I’m sorry. I know there are some out here on TH-cam though. I’ve watched a couple. I’ll see if I can find them!

Just did my kitchen table it came out amazing ..turned it from wood finish to white, black and silver marble finish
So happy leggari don’t need a heat gun/ torch to remove the bubbles... I will try this! Thanks for your video
Isn’t it nice? I didn’t want to use a heat gun so I was super excited to have found a product that didn’t require using one
The real fun is doing it with someone you care for. Double teamsters work. Affordable way to do updates for the kitchen.
You are exactly right!!!! It was such a fun project to do together!
Wow!!!! I definitely feel less nervous about doing my countertops! This is the best video I’ve seen!!!! Thank youuuuuuuuuu
Thank you so much!!!! Good luck with your countertops!!! 💕😍
Y'all did a good job, I just had my countertops resurfaced but by a professional, they look great

Awesome!!!
This is unbelievably beautiful - I'm going to attempt it in my bathrooms!
Thank you!! Try it! And good luck 💖
This is the best DIY countertop I’ve seen. Thank you! I’ll probably be trying this method instead of the others for the marbled look.

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!! 😍😍😍 I want to epoxy all of our countertops now! It was so much easier than I ever expected and gave the kitchen a totally different look and feel 😍😍😍😍😍 I am in love!!!
Omg… I’m overwhelmed after the video lol… I’m tired from just watching. I want to updated countertop but omg all those steps lol. You got to do what you got to do. 😂 good job.
Seriously amazing! Thank you for being so thorough. I’m going to have to go check out leggari now
Thank you so much!!!! And you’re so welcome. Their products are top notch! You will not be disappointed!
what was the cost to do this to your counter tops. my husband is remodeling the house. And this looks nice
Thank you!!! It depends on the square footage of your counters. We used 1 kit for ours. The kit is $395 and include the primer and highlight colors. Only thing it doesn’t include is rollers, tape, plastic, buckets, stuff like that.
Looks amazing. Don't want to fork out thousands on a 20 yo laminate benchtop, I am going to try this. Does epoxy feel smooth like granite/marble ? Was told epoxy is sensitive to heat, don't place anything hot on it, is that true ?
Thank you!!! It is smooth. It is a little sensitive to heat. I would use a trivet or pot holder if placing something warm on the counter
Mixologist with epoxy. COOL process and detailed instruction.
Isn’t a cool process?!?! I loved doing this. It was really awesome watching the counters completely transform
Great job! I love how your countertops turned out.
Glad you like them!
Beautiful. Great video. Would love any feedback on how long your counter tops lasted looking so nice!
Thank you! Yes, I have a 1 year update video on my channel. It should be in the description box
I hope you get this comment and it helps. I watched your year update as I was researching epoxy countertops. I just watched another video and she used a product called tanwise tan remover to get stains out of her epoxy countertops. She listed Sally’s carries it also Amazon. I don’t know if you still have that stain but this may help. If you try and it works please let me know lol. Your projects look great.
Absolutely gorgeous!! My husband and I will be watching again together. One question...As this was a year ago, did your countertops yellow at all?
Thank you! I have an in depth update video on my channel!💗
I've been wanting to do the Leggari counter tops - thanks for sharing your experience. It gives me a bit more confidence. They look awesome!
You’re welcome!!! You should do it! We still love ours so much 🧡
@@BrontesLife does it really save your a lot more money than buying new counter tops ?
@@jenniferescobedo3655 it depends what you want. Maybe not if you want laminate countertops, but if you want quartz or granite then yes. Depends on size of your kitchen. Price it all out! Calculate square footage then find whatever countertops you want. We couldn’t afford the quartz we wanted, so for us it was the affordable option to get the look we wanted.
Your countertops look great and I actually like the rolled look of the added color over actual veining.
I do have one question. I've seen many videos so I'm not sure which product it was used with but to get the bubbles out the person sprayed rubbing alcohol over the top and it eliminated the bubbles. Do you know anything about this?
Thank you so much!!! From my understanding the rubbing alcohol will give it some sort of effect for aesthetic purposes when you’re doing the highlight color (veining) and not necessarily get rid of bubbles. I could totally be wrong though. I think different products require different things. Some people recommend using a heat gun or blow dryer for bubbles. We only had two spots that bubbles and they popped on their own while setting. I don’t know if that answer was helpful or not 😂 I’m so sorry if it wasn’t
I'm getting excited! Can't wait for the update 👀 need that video
Coming soon!
I have a backslash like your and everybody said it couldn't be epoxy, be clearly they are wrong your counters look great!!! .
Oh thank you!
Wow great job... that really looks nice!
Thank you!!!
Love it, this would be great for my mom's kitchen.
Thank you!!! It was really easy! And fun!
I’m getting ready to do my first countertop.
Awesome!!! Best of luck to you 😍
I’m remodeling my kitchen and was pulling my hair out with the granite prices thanks for saving my hair😅
You and your hair are welcome!!!
Wow, this was awesome, you guys did an excellent job, just fabulous, awaiting to do my counter tops, Great tips, great information, live it, live you guys, God Bless You Both, remember you are amazing!...👏👌👍✨💞😄🙏🙋🤗🥰👍✨🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much!!!!!!! 💗💗💗💗💗 I hope they turn out amazing! Good luck!
Hi. Great job on your venture. Where to find your preparation video for the epoxy countertops?
On my channel :)
Soooo beautiful!! I always wanted to do this but I’m scare about it, even though I stained my own kitchen cabinets. You did awesome and you make it look easier. Thanks for the video!🌹blessings
Hi Bronte how well have your countertops held up, is this product heat resistant and fade resistant uv. It looks great
Hi! Thank you so much. Here is a full 1 year update. th-cam.com/video/HhxgzRw41hA/w-d-xo.html we are going on two years in January and not much has changed since this video :)
Love the marble look. Great teamwork 🎉
Thank you!
Looks great.. Are you planning on painting your kitchen cabinets? I have the same ones you have and am itching to paint them but too scared that I will ruin them.. They are in great shape I just don't care for that orangy oak color and want to paint them white.
Thank you so much! Yes we are! That is next up on my to do list. I’m honestly super intimidated to do them for the same reasons. I do not like the orangey oak at all, but I’m also scared they’re gonna look horrible if I paint them. But I’m going to attempt it!!! I just need to figure out when and if I’m gonna try to do sections at a time or just go for the whole thing!
I did mine in a chalk paint, super easy and I love them!
taylor vancleave did u prime it?
I REALLY LOVE YOUR CHANNEL & WILL BE APPPLYING IT TO MY NEW HOME. WEIRD QUESTION BUT WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE COUNTRY MUSIC YOU USE.?
This turned out beautiful.. How many gallons of white epoxy did you need? I saw 1.5 gallon and 3 gallon on the website.
Thank you so much!!! I’m not exactly sure to be honest. We measured out our square footage and calculated what we needed that way. We only used one kit
😍 Wow! Beautiful! Ok, so I’m getting more and more brave...just might do it! Want to do this on my kids’ desks. Great video and explanation!
Thank you so much!!!! That is a great idea! If you try it let me know how it turns out!😍
Fantastic..exactly what I was looking for
Perfect! Thank you for watching!
Omg Bronte! You guys did so awesome! It looks great!
Thank you so much!!! I’m so happy with how they turned out! I was soooo nervous we were gonna mess them up!
This looks pretty darn good!
Thank you!!!
@@BrontesLife you’re welcome ☺️
This turned out really pretty! I love that you gives did it together! Way to go team!
I am so hooked on your videos, you make it look so simple and great results. I noticed that you did the countertops prior to painting the cabinets. Do you suggest following that order as well...
Thank you so much!!! You can do whatever order is best for you. I put off doing the cabinets just because I knew how time consuming it would be
I started today!
This video was so helpful and has convinced me to finally do this! Thank you so much for all the advice, tips, and tricks!
I’m getting ready to order my kit and was wondering what kit you ordered.
Thanks in advance!
Thank you so much!!!! You are so welcome!! I think it was kit 2. I will double check on that though! You can do it! It was time consuming, but not hard by any means! 💜💜💜💜
Yes, it was kit 2. You can add a highlight color to your kit so you don’t have to do the spray paint and it will probably be so much easier
Loved the way your countertops turned out! 😍😍
Thank you so much my beautiful friend!!!!
How long does this kind of counter top last ? Does it stand up to regular use of a counter top , without scratches etc ? It turned out great
Thank you so much!!! It should last a while! I’m not sure exactly how long, but at the very least a few years. Our countertops have held up really well! I don’t baby them. We have very minor scratches on them that you can only see in certain lighting and I’m not sure if it’s from sliding stuff around or just the marks left behind when sanding before the top coat. Either way, you can only see them when the light hits a certain way and if you’re looking closely. A couple of spots have stained, but I have no clue what was set there to stain them. Other than that they’re great! Still going strong almost 8 months later!
Oh & you already know I’m jealous of that sink 😛
Shall I tell Wesley what to get you as a belated Christmas gift???? 😉
Ficaram belíssimas suas bancadas. Excelente trabalho 👏👏👏👏👏😙😙😙
muito obrigada Camila! 😍😍😍😍
Omg, we’re doing the same to our countertops!! This is exciting!
You will be in love!!!! It makes such a difference!
We have corian countertops. Will this same outcome work? Your countertops look beautiful!!
Thank you!!! I don’t see why not. I have only ever done my Formica countertops though so I don’t have any tips, I’m sorry!
It turned out amazing!!! I can’t wait to do ours. I’ll def be hitting you up if I have any questions. You guys did an awesome job!
Thank you so much!!! It was super fun to do and see it all come to life. Thank you!!! Yes, anytime! I’m not an expert, but I’ve watched a million and one epoxy videos lol and read as much as I could about how to do it!
I also noticed you got a new sink. Did you have to cut your existing countertops to make the new sink fit or just purchased one the same size as your old one?
What is the heat resistance of the Legarri Products ?? Great video , I have been on the fence about trying this method also & the heat resistance is one of the important factors to me. Thanks for sharing your technique, you did make it look a lot easier than most videos I have seen. Also do you know if it would be possible to put an additional clear coat after time if there does happen to be any scratches or such ?? Thank you & Merry Christmas !!! 🎅🎅🎅🤶🤶🤶🌲🌲🌲❄❄
It is supposed to be heat resistant, but I have never put it to the test other than a hot coffee mug or a plate with hot food. I always use a trivet or pot holder. And you’re welcome!!! I’m sure you could put an additional top coat, but I’m not 100% sure. I haven’t had any issues with scratches and it’s been just about a year 😊 thank you so much!!!!! Merry Christmas to you and yours as well!! 😍🎄❤️
@@BrontesLife thank you !!!
Great job guys🌸
Thank you!
BRONTE !!!! This looks AMAZING!!! Y’all did such a great job!! I’m loving the glimpse of new grey too!!!
Thank you so much, Melissa!! 💕😘 Girl, I had to paint part of the kitchen before getting the final shots lol I could not handle the old paint with the new counters!!
Your appliances looked in great shape, I would have liked to see how they would have looked with the white and gray cupboards.(nice I think) I know stainless is the trend. Hope the appliances were able to be used again.
Stainless or a darker metal is our preferred color of choice for appliances. All personal preference! So, that is why we chose to change them out when we could. We sold all of them to others who needed appliances for a very good price. So they’re being used by those people 🧡
I just painted mine white and put a glitter gloss on mine for 25 pound it's beautiful
Hey how r they holding up? Would u say this company’s product is quality? And can u put hot stuff on the countertops
Hi! They’ve held up well. I have never put hot stuff directly on my counters because that’s just what I was taught growing up. I always use a trivet or pot holder, so I can’t speak on that. I would say their product is a quality product and the company is very helpful with good customer service.
What made you go with leggari, compared to other companies like stone coat? Great video.
What I liked about leggari is that their kits came with the primer and highlight colors (even though I opted not to use them). Also, they don't require applying any heat to the countertops. That intimidated me with other brands, not gonna lie. I'm sure stonecoat is great though! Those were just my main two reasons for choosing leggari. They have great customer service too :)
@@BrontesLife ok great thank you very much.
Wow I’m glad I found this video I think we’ll go ahead and try this now lol
Thank you!!! Do it! We love ours
I know this video is older but what color is your kitchen walls? I love how everything turned out!
Thank you! Chic grey by behr
Nice epoxy work on the counters! Question...do you know if the epoxy coating resist heat (hot pan) & stain (e.g. pomegranate juice) once it's completely cured. We have a dark granite counter we like to brighten up (similar in color to your white marble countertop color) but can't see spending around $5K. Just subscribed. Thank you!
Okay! So I realize that I was under my sons google acount when I first watched this video and thats why I wasnt subbed because he wasnt but now he is too! Lol! So you just gained another sub from my son! Lol Amazing video! You guys made it look very simple and easy! Looks beautiful!!😘✌
Just a quick question please. I just ordered my first Leggari epoxy kit! Your countertops look exactly like mine, however... my counters have a very slight bump on the edge. It looks like yours is the same. Did you have NY trouble with the epoxy flowing up and over that edge? I see it on your counters but the island is different. Your help is appreciated! Please and thank you 😊
How fun! Are you talking about the front or the backsplash???
@@BrontesLife sorry... a little hard to explain. The front edge of the countertop
The back area with the lip (the backsplash) we had issues with because my husband didn’t roll any of the drips out before they set. The front rounded edge no issues! Just made sure to go heavy on the primer in those areas
7:51 if wanna “save the material” getting “every last bit out” than here’s what ya do.
Go buy a 5 pack of flexible “bench scrapers”. The stuff bakers use to get batters, mixes, etc out of mixing bowls, pans, etc….
They come in 2 main “flavors”: silicone and plastic. My preference is buy BOTH, b/c sometimes the plastic works well and sometimes the silicone is best. Just depends on material using AND, a 2-5 pack of plastic cost $2-$6 at dollar store (or Amazon) and a 1-2 pack of silicone cost around $8-$15 depending on brand, size, & durability etc…(and can find on Amazon, Walmart, Target, but usually won’t find at a dollar store).
They work well getting paint, and other materials out of buckets, bowls, containers…..and if want to clean them up well, can use for baking (bumptious personally I wouldn’t do that, as why risk it 😉).
Great vid and beautiful countertops…..looks nice
Great job! How are the fumes on these products?
Thank you!! Honestly they’re not bad at all. The spray paint on the other hand... I would definitely be doing that in a well ventilated area we ended up having to open up the doors. The epoxy kit itself is not bad at all, very low fumes.
Oh my goodness, I am going to do this! Thank you showing the step by step process because you make it seem so easy, thank you.
Do it!!! It was not hard at all, just very time consuming! Totally doable!
Wowza this look great!! Incredible job and I have those same countertops the before so I can relate!! You have inspired me. Gorgeous work!! You both should be so proud of yourselves. 😊🙂👍👀🏡🏡
GREAT JOB....can this be done over granite...or Tile??? Thanks.
Thank you so much!!! Yes, the prep process would be different though. It can definitely be done on either tile or granite!
@@BrontesLife wow thx so much for the speedy response..do you have a video for granite and tile??
You’re welcome! I do not, just this one. I’m sorry. I know there are some out here on TH-cam though. I’ve watched a couple. I’ll see if I can find them!
