    I just watched Design on a Dime 35 Secrets... and they showed a concrete overlay for countertops but didn't specify where or who makes it. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm moving a house that I got at a steal and will be renovating the entire structure. I was planning on doing my own concrete countertops but the laminate are structurally sound and this looked like an inexpensive option. Any help/tips/ideas are appreciated.

    I watched that episode, too, and thought that the concrete overlay was a cool and less expensive alternative. I just spent 30 minutes searching the whole site for what that product was he found to no avail. If anyone knows what that product was, please let me know!

    OK so I guess the name of the product is SkimStone. If anyone uses it, please come educate the rest of us. It looks rough. I would think it might be hard to clean. Just thinking.....

    Skimstone is the product and its applied to a nice smooth finish. Works great for countertops and floors. And there are many other products but Modern Masters Skimstone will probably be the most accessible. Takes a lot of practice. If you are doing a lot of it I'd suggest taking a course.
