Several of the contest entrants submitted multiple countertop projects they had completed throughout their homes.
“The kits are so easy and inexpensive that I can try new things without the time and hassle of renovating,” says Julie Dewitz, bathroom category grand prize winner. “Each time using it I get better and knowing I did them myself is such a sense of pride and accomplishment!
