"The Kitchen" - Stained concrete countertops

In this project we were asked to install stained concrete countertops in a home in Cedar Hill, Tx. We built the molds directly on the kitchen cabinets after removing their existing Formica countertops. After pouring them we let them set up a day before coming back to apply the acid stain. We used a manual "ragging" technique for these stained concrete countertops instead of spraying it like we normally do for floors. It gives us more control over the final look. As always, we finished it off by sealing and waxing it to help protect from staining. Acid staining creates a very unique look.
