Has anybody here poured their own concrete countertops? Lightweight concrete weighs about the same as granite,so I assume I could use it w/ ikea cabs. Any thoughts on how concrete would look with nexus? Any thoughts about whether we should even think about "trying this at home"?

Hey, spg4y used concrete and nexus birch. I thought I'd done a Before and After, but I don't see it. Check it out on the Nexus Birch Finished Gallery, though! Here's a peek!



btw, both halves of that couple are architects, so I'm fairly confident that the structure of the cabinets is sufficient to support the weight of the countertops! I've got a written explanation of how they did it here somewhere, but it's on my hopelessly long list of things to do. Ack!

Anyway, hope that helps!
