And it successfully brought him from a dark kitchen to a bright, welcoming kitchen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u201cI had a Forest Green countertop with an oak wood trim,\u201d says Pennell, a resident of Davisburg, Michigan. \u201cIt made the entire kitchen dark and I couldn\u2019t stand it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>            \u201cI researched all types of counter top kits and found the <a href=\"https:\/\/daichcoatings.com\/fr\/shop\/spreadstone-countertop-refinishing-kit-mineral-select-plus\/\">SpreadStone Mineral Select Countertop Refinishing Kit<\/a> on the Home Depot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\">website<\/a>. I liked the idea of ground-up stone in the Natural White coating. I\u2019m really pleased with the results.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background has-light-green-cyan-background-color\"><strong><u>Easy and Fast<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A big reason Pennell selected the Daich Coatings product is because of how easy it is to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>            \u201cI\u2019m not an artistically creative person,\u201d says Pennell. \u201cThe idea of creating swirls and adding paint chips that were required in other products had me nervous. However, I can use a brush and roller, which is all that was needed with the SpreadStone kit. That definitely fit my comfort level.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Natural White countertop kit arrived with all application tools and required coatings to transform up to 40 square feet of surface. The finishes are essentially odorless and come pre-mixed and ready to apply immediately, with no harsh chemicals.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Application of the product can be done in three simple steps &#8212; a stone base coat, a decorative stone coat and a stone clear top coat. The coatings create a lasting and elegant upgrade for countertops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background has-light-green-cyan-background-color\"><strong><u>Planning More Projects<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>            \u201cThis is a product I strongly believe in,\u201d says Pennell. \u201cI\u2019m now looking into the<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>            <a href=\"https:\/\/daichcoatings.com\/fr\/shop\/spreadstone-wall-tile-refinishing-kit\/\">SpreadStone Wall Tile Refinishing Kit<\/a> for another project. I\u2019m so impressed with the Daich Coatings products that I\u2019m actively searching around my house for projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u201cIn the meantime, my kitchen transformation is terrific. It\u2019s no longer a dark area of the home. The Natural White countertops give the room a more open and inviting feeling. This was a terrific and cost effective project for our home!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background has-light-green-cyan-background-color\"><strong><u>Tips from Nick<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; From his experience with the SpreadStone Mineral Select Countertop Kit, Pennell offers these tips to people tackling their own countertop revival:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Take your time to prep well and carefully apply the painters tape. Don\u2019t speed up this process because it\u2019s really important to the final success.<\/li><li>Sand, sand, sand. Make sure the surface is clean of dust between every coat.<\/li><li>Give the clear coat plenty of time to dry before removing the tape. Also, score the corners gently with a knife before you remove the tape. Then take the tape off slowly and carefully.<\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nick Pennell took a leap of faith.
