On Friday I showed y’all how my dear ole Mommy Dearest transformed her tiny basement kitchen with the help of a countertop makeover….
She took the space from sporting beige laminate…
to a high contrast black countertop. Now they look more like a shiny concrete slab and are scratch resistant. She could totally have Edward Scissorhands over no problem! And Mom – just so you know, if Johnny Depp shows up at your house, I expect a call pronto because dude, I gotta see if those teeth are real. They make me feel better about my own gold cap. I wish I was joking.
But the best part of showing you this makeover is the fact that you can do the same thing in your own space. This would be awesome for anyone that needs a bathroom or kitchen countertop makeover (and a heck of a lot easier than pouring your own fabulous concrete countertops in molds and messing with rebar)….
Here’s what’s up for grabs:
- PRIZE : Encore Countertop Transformation Kit (valued at $269) in color of winners choice
- DESCRIPTION: Encore is an all-inclusive DIY kit that creates sophisticated cement-based surfaces out of lackluster countertops. The kit transforms the look and feel of a room by revamping a single surface. The kit includes:
- 1 ColorLock Sealer + Activator
- 1 bottle Color Concentrate
- 3 pre-measured bags of Cement Mix
- 1 ProGuard Satin Finish + Activator
- SuperBond
- 1 how-to DVD
- 1 instruction booklet
- NUMBER OF WINNERS : (1) One
- TO ENTER : Leave a comment with the phrase ”Encore! Encore!” and now let’s talk dream kitchens….would you have high contrast? all white? a thousand square feet? a butler’s pantry? double ovens? wine cooler? or is the range the most important feature to you? maybe it’s the backsplash or the sink faucet? I’d want one of those menu boards like in the Jetsons 🙂 Either that or a double fridge…because dang, our bacon takes up too much room.
- PRIZE SHIPS : United States and Canada
- NITTY GRITTY : This giveaway ends on Saturday, November 3rd 8am EDT. Only one contest entry per email address. The winners will be chosen using Random.org and emailed to claim their prize. Winners are not announced on this blog so please use your regularly checked email address.
GOOD LUCK!
p.s. The expert design team over at Encore provided a few tips & tricks….here they are if you are planning on tackling your own countertops:
- On bull-nose edges, use a chip brush to paint the SuperBond™ and color mix onto the surface, then using a plastic bag (held like a rope) smooth out the product.
- Weekends are busy, if you prefer to take your time to complete your Encore countertops you can. Just keep the surface clean between steps.
- For backsplashes and straight angle edges, using a flexible angled tape knife (2 ½”) helps. The tape knife will also work for finishing tight corners and small edges behind a sink.
- The Encore kit is great for refinishing tile countertops too. Coverage rates vary depending on the depth of the grout and how much fill is needed.

All white kitchen, cheery paint, colorful accents!
ENCORE! ENCORE!
I love contrast in the kitchen, love white cabinets and black countertops!

Dream kitchen.. big question! Definitely an open concept with dark cabinets, built-in fridge, island with stove-top (grill portion included!), giant pantry, hanging pots and pan rank, under-mount single sink, and a giant window in front of the sink to watch the kiddos play : ) But that’s just a guess…
Encore! Encore! Definitely a white kitchen!
ENCORE ENCORE! My dream kitchen comes with a chef!
Encore, encore! Right now my dream kitchen includes anything but the yellow ceramic tile counters we have now!
Encore! Encore!
We want a whole new reno in our kitchen! New white cupboards, new counters (this concrete look is fabulous) and new floors. Oy!
“Encore! Encore!” My dream kitchen would be a new kitchen!!! I want it all!
Encore Encore! I would want all white. I think I would constantly dust a darker color. It would drive me mad!
Encore!Encore! I’m in the middle of re-doing my kitchen now so this would be just PERFECT timing for some new counters! My dream kitchen would have double everything, especially dishwashers. Don’t you just hate when all your dishes don’t fit?
”Encore! Encore!” My dream kitchen would be all white, with marble counters, glass subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances and some great lights.
This product looks like the answer to my “Please tell me I don’t have to live with these nasty tile countertops anymore” prayers!!!!
Encore! Encore!
My dream kitchen would be open concept and have a gas stove….the two things I can’t do in my current house.
Encore! Encore!
Dream Kitchen number one feature: garbage can cabinet pull outs. Whatever they are called. Yes, I’m a girl who dreams of hidden garbage can storage. Easy to please 🙂 Oh, and while we are dreaming, how about a chef in my kitchen as well? He’ll love the garbage cans, too.
Encore!! My dream kitchen would involve a gorgeous farmhouse sink and either a big island or a nice peninsula with bar stools.
Encore! Encore!
I would have white cabinets, just like you’ve been doing. It’s on the list! The really, really long list.
Encore, Encore! We’re moving in June and I need to make our new house (currently my inlaws) my own! I’m really wanting a dual farm sink and really looking forward to painting the dated cupboards a distressed gray and pairing up a fun backsplash!!
Encore! Encore! I like white cabinets and black countertops with stainless steel appliances. So pretty!
Encore! Encore!
I would love a mostly white kitchen with commercial grade stainless appliances.
Encore! Encore! I would love to have a large bright kitchen with a big pantry : )
Encore! Encore!
i would love to have white cabinets in my kitchen..and to add a backsplash…ours is just plain.
oh yeh, and to add more square footage to our kitchen. that would be my dream kitchen.
Encore! Encore! My dream kitchen would involve a huge island, and dual wall mounted convection ovens. And a maid to do the dishes. 🙂

I would love a kitchen with double ovens, and a big pot rack brimming with copper pots. I also would love a bit farmhouse sink. 🙂
My dream kitchen would be all white and airy looking. It would also include a chef 🙂
Encore! Encore!
Oh my…I spend more time than I’d like to admit thinking about kitchen plans! So far, we’ve refinished the cabinets in a glossy black and have put crystal knobs on…and that’s as far a we’ve gotten. I have to say, as soon as I read your post on Encore, I was in! I told my husband that it would be the perfect option for our kitchen redo, with contrasting stone on the island. Instead of paint, it’s a ‘real’ finish – I love that. I’ve already scoped out local suppliers so thanks – I wouldn’t have found this product if it hadn’t been for your guys.
”Encore! Encore!” – love the counter tops you did for your mom.
I would love that black counter top and white cupboards. Or, a white counter top with black cupboards. New white appliances, with nice pops of color on some open shelving.
Thank you for this opportunity.
Encore! Encore! I’d want Sarah Richardson designing my dream kitchen but the Encore Countertop Transformation Kit in Pearl Gray would definitely be a nice start for my current kitchen!
Encore me!
I love so many things about a good kitchen: countertops, hardware, good display space and a light airy feel.
Encore! Encore! For my dream kitchen, I would have one of those 2 in 1 convection and standard ovens, a stove top with the quick boil feature, and a faucet with instant hot water!
Encore! Encore!
My dream kitchen has lots of windows and natural light. It also has a built in breakfast nook.
Encore! Encore! What an amazing change made on those counters. I really like my kitchen but would like the cupboards to be less awkward.
Encore, encore!! My kitchen is a train wreck! Ugly green wallpaper, farmhouse border, gold-speckled counter tops. We rent, and the kitchen desperately needs a makeover, but I hate investing too much $ and effort on a property that isn’t mine to keep — but this baby needs some help!
Encore! Encore!
I’d love a kitchen with an open plan, like our current one…but bigger – with lots of storage and an amazing island. Someday, I’d REALLY love to have a banquette…so we can play board games more comfortably and have our dinners “restaurant-style!”
Encore Encore! My dream kitchen is all white classic cupboards with a stainless bottom freezer fridge. Modern light colors in paint and the counter is white granite. Nothing like what I have now.
Encore! Encore! My dream kitchen would have tons of counter space to work. A built-in deep fryer like Paula Deen’s kitchen would also be a nice touch.
Encore! Encore! I like a light neutral countertop in engineered stone to hide the dirt. I hate cleaning. All about the low maintenance kitchen!
Encore! Encore!
Encore! Encore!
I would like new countertops and subway tile 🙂
Encore, encore, let’s work on the finishing to the bathroom counter tops please!
Encore! Encore! My dream kitchen would be HUGE, white cabinets, beautiful granite, a giant center island, stainless steal appliances and a gas range. Great lighting, too!
Encore! Encore! I’d really like one of those old looking stoves. I’d like to to be high tech enough to cook evenly, but old looking…
Encore Encore Encore! I love a high contrast kitchen-especially white cabinets and black countertops. We really need get busy re-doing our 70’s kitchen and laundry room/pantry combo!
Encore Encore!!
My dream kitchen has a white and grey color scheme with huge runs of counter space, a nice skylight to let some sunshine in and fabulous huge industrial size appliances…I would die!
Encore! Encore! I love white kitchens contrasted by dark counter tops!
Encore! Encore! I bought our house from my parents, and we have the honey-oak cupboards that they installed (beautiful quality, but that finish…). I dream of creamy white cupboards. However, our corian countertop is creamy white, which I do not love, but it’s in great condition. Oh well… at least we replaced the 1980s brown wheat-sheaf tile backsplash. 🙂
Encore! encore! I would love to gift this to my parents who have a small lake house on a lake I have grown up going to. They are in the process of finally updating and expanding the cottage… An update to their countertops would be an awesome surprise!!
Encore! Encore!
Dream kitchen would be anything Candace Olson would design for me.
Encore! Encore! My dream kitchen would be super large with lots of storage space, a big walk in pantry, two ovens, a large fridge and more. The kitchen we have now is soo small. Two people in it is cramped with no room to move. We’ve redone the cabinets and next on the checklist is the counter tops so this would be perfect!
Encore! Encore! My kitchen is a big pink blob! Pickled white wash cabinets and beigy-pink countertops. Beige stone tile backsplash. I just dream of new colors! Dark grey lowers, white uppers, black countertops, white or colored backsplash. Pops of color. *sigh*
Encore! Encore! All white it is!
Encore me!!!! I’m too greedy when it comes to my dream kitchen so the list would be long…..
Encore! Encore! I love the way your mom’s kitchen turned out – high contrast all the way! Pair that with some stainless appliances and a glass tile backsplash and I’d be more apt to use my kitchen. 🙂
Encore! Encore! I would love to try this stuff! My kitchen countertops are hideous green laminate and, while we are saving up for a renovation, I am in school and we probably won’t be able to do it for a few years. My dream kitchen would be a big open space with lots of light, but in real life my kitchen is pretty small, so I could do this project over a few days!
Encore! Encore!
my current kitchen is currently teeny tiny, with fake butcher block counters, badly painted white cabinets, and chipped tile floor. i think changing the countertops would do wonders for my space!
Encore!! My dream kitchen would have 2 ovens (because sometimes you just need to make 2 pies… or lots of cookies) & magical shelves that lower so I can reach what’s in them (because I love high ceilings, but at just over 5 foot I hate having to always use a step stool to reach stuff).
Thanks for another awesome giveaway!!
Encore! Encore! My dream kitchen would simply have taller cabinets, about 5 times as much counter space, and a giant island where we could gather around. I’d love of course to upgrade my Formica countertop to granite too! I love the look of a built in wine rack, as well, even though we’d have to buy wine just to fill it.
I am actually hoping to win this kit for my neighbor; they are in a tough spot financially right now and she wants nothing more than to freshen up her kitchen, to cheer herself up a bit about their situation. She is a fabulous cook and spends tons of time in her kitchen, but she has an incredibly tiny kitchen with very old, white and gold flecked countertops….that extend all up her backsplash too! She even asked me if I’d help paint her countertops the other month….but then she said the kit was no longer in the budget. Right now, her dream kitchen just involves a newer looking countertop and freshly repainted white cabinets, and I’d love to help her with this kit!
Encore! Encore!
White kitchen with soapstone counertops!
Encore! Encore! I would love a clean, bright kitchen with a beautiful black splash and of course awesome countertops!
Encore! Encore! I think anything would be better than what I have right now. Cheap White cabinets (i wouldn’t mind them if they were big enough for a plate and weren’t pealing apart) with hunter green laminate countertops circa 1990. I can’t get past the issues in my kitchen long enough to dream about what it could be…
Encore! Encore!
All I really want are nicer counters!!!
Encore! Encore! I’m in the process of a semi makeover in my kitchen and countertops are my next move. I’d love this!! In my dream kitchen I would have double ovens, a large island and pantry, and cherry cabinets- real cherry cabinets! One day … 🙂
Encore, encore….I would like a pantry in my kitchen!
Encore! Encore! Right now my dream kitchen is one that has more than two drawers and a couple feet of usable counter space. Basically, anything that isn’t my current kitchen.
Encore! Encore!
I LOVE a dark wood/light or neutral counter kitchen. With a huge fridge, double oven and lot of storage for all my small appliances 🙂
Encore! Encore! I’d love new contrast counter tops! Mine is an ugly gray laminate.
ENCORE! ENCORE!
Beautiful white kitchen with black granite countertop – my dream kitchen!
And it needs to come with a man-slave! 🙂
Encore! Encore! My dream kitchen will have black countertops, white cabinets, and a new ialand. We should be tackling it in January. Ugh.
”Encore! Encore!”
I would love some dark counters with white cabinets!
Encore! Encore! I love our kitchen as it is, but wish our cabinets weren’t golden oak. White would be so nice.
ENCORE!
I want an all-white kitchen. Growing up, my mom’s kitchen was black and gray so having white would be much better! 🙂
Encore Encore! I’d love an all white kitchen with marble backsplash.
“Encore! Encore!” In my dream kitchen… I would have plenty of cabinet/counter space and a big pantry! 🙂
Encore Encore! I love an open floor plan and butcher block countertops!
Encore! Encore!
Lots of white cabinets, soapstone countertops, double ovens, a big cooktop, huge fridge and lots of space to work.
Encore! Encore!
My dream kitchen would have lots of counter space, especially an island!
Encore! Encore! My dream kitchen would be BIG. We’re talking nice tall cabinets up to the ceiling, big windows to let in lots of light, a nice big island with seating and I’d love the sink/dishwasher in the island (so weird, but seriously one of my biggest kitchen dreams). Let’s talk under-mount sink, oil-rubbed-bronze fixtures, stainless appliances (I could so get down with one of those double-fridge-on-top-freezer-drawer combos) and some gorgeous bronzy granite all over. I’d probably go dark finish on the cabinets, and red on the island. Can’t forget a nice walk-in pantry (seen on Pinterest as an entire ROOM behind the fridge/stove wall and I would like me some of that!) Mmmmm…dream kitchen….
”Encore! Encore!”
My dream kitchen includes all white cabinets, with beautiful soap stone countertops and a walk in pantry so I can use my cabinets for dishes 🙂
Encore! Encore!
All white classic kitchen
Encore! Encore! I would love to try this product to spruce up our kitchen last remodeled in 1966. We need some help!
My dream kitchen would have a 10 foot island, microwave drawer, commercial range and fridge, separate beverage cooler and since we’re really dreaming let’s add in a wood burning pizza oven. Ha. Perhaps I should just move into a restaurant.
Encore…encore!!! I would so love a new look for my very old counter tops…so ugly! Lj
Encore encore!
My dream kitchen would have white granite counters, simple white subway tile and one of those awesome pot fillers.
Encore. Encore. I’d love a huge island to sit around
Encore! Encore! I would love a kitchen makeover. My dream kitchen is slightly grey, hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances, etc. I wish!
Encore! Encore! I’d love to have a farmhouse kitchen- combining lots of white and wood, apron front sink, and exposed beams! We have those same faux-beige countertops, too- I’ve even seen them in a podunk church fellowship hall..
Encore! Encore! My dream kitchen would be all white cabinets, butcher block counters, a fun color on the wall, dark floors, vintage inspired appliances and a gas stove is a must!
Encore! Encore!
My dream kitchen is big enough for an island…with tons of storage space….and a walk in pantry.
Encore! Encore!
We just moved into a HUGE foreclosure this summer and for the first time in my life I have the kitchen LAYOUT of my dreams. Which was a big huge plus. Cause fixing bad bone structure is expensive like whoa. My dad and I refinished the floors (Jacobean, nice dark color) and slightly moved a large kitchen island to allow for better flow. On my dream list for it is painting the honey oak cabinets (were there any other options in the 90’s?) and new countertop. A backsplash would be fantastic but the countertops are the main hold up right now. I have my dream oven and dream fridge and dream floor. So the countertop kit would be faboo!
Encore! Encore! I am like you, I love white cabinets. I already have bought a backsplash that is gray and white marble. I would love to have a charcoal coloured countertops. Maybe this would get my butt in gear and start our kitchen makeover.
Encore! Encore! My dream kitchen would be nice and spacious with a large walk in pantry!
Encore! Encore! I’m thinking my dream kitchen would include a hammered copper apron sink. 🙂
Encore! Encore!
My parents are trying to update their kitchen on the cheap, and they’ve found out that they can’t replace their old yucky laminate countertops- they were built directly in to the cabinets by the home’s previous owner, who was a woodworker. Everything in the house is custom, which is great until you try to update it, anyway. When I read your post last week I thought this product would be perfect for them!
Anyway, having lived in apartments for years, my dream kitchen just has a pantry and room for a table.
“Encore! Encore!”
My DREAM Kitchen would be LARGE – so I can entertain lots of family with a large island, open floor plan to the family room. And since it’s a DREAM kitchen we’re talking about here, I would have a wine fridge, two large built in fridges (to match the cabinets), two sinks, (one for prep on the island, and one facing a window), lots of organization cabinets with special ones like a slide out mixer cabinet for my Kitchen Aid appliance, a double oven, LARGE gas range (I’m fortunate to have a gas stove now in my tiny, yet recently updated kitchen), large pantry, lots of space, and beautifully decorated.
My recently updated kitchen is in a small rowhome in Maryland. I was able to design it myself with 42” tall white cabinets, low cost granite counters, stainless applicances, and somewhat make the layout I wanted, but had a pretty tight budget and restrictions with the small space, so it wasn’t EXACTLY perfect, but I love it and I get compliments on it all the time. So for now, it’s my dream kitchen. 🙂
”Encore! Encore!” – I have those HORRIBLE cream laminate counter tops!!! They really want to make me cry every time I look at them. LOL- better to have cream counter tops than none- right??
Encore! Encore! My dream kitchen has white cabinets with fancy trim and marble counters! 🙂
Encore! Encore! My dream kitchen would be white on white on white and be large enough to handle multiple cooks and the kids too. Maybe one day.
”Encore! Encore!” Oh…my dream kitchen would be all white cabinets and dark countertops…..or maybe neutral counter tops….I don’t really care as long as they are new countertops..mine are a horrible fake hunter green marble looking mess. My cabinets I love, but my countertops I dream about redoing all the time! Oh and stainless steel appliances and as long as we are dreaming, a professional cook that lives with me and grocery shopper oh and a maid too.
”Encore! Encore!”
Encore! Encore! We just moved and our new kitchen counters are beyond yuck. This would be perfect!
Encore! Encore!
Honestly? Lots of countertops and a pantry would probably be my biggest requirements for a dream kitchen. A deep sink and fancy appliances would be nice, too. 🙂
Encore! Encore! – I am dreaming of a white kitchen with netural countertop. Anything would be better then my builder grade cabinets and UGLY hunter green laminate countertops!
Encore! Encore!
My husband and I moved into our house in February and we definitely have some plans in mind for the kitchen! Currently we have the most annoying countertops — they hide coffee grinds, peanut butter and bread crumbs perfectly due to a brown/black swirl pattern it has going on. So I never feel like it is clean, even after cleaning for hours. And then with the wood floors and cabinets, too much of the same shade…we need some contrast!!
Encore! Encore! Me likey high contrast.
Encore, encore!
My dream kitchen would have a big pantry – something I sorely miss with my current kitchen.
Encore! Encore!
A bacon fridge – awesome!!! I painted my kitchen an great dark mustard/yellow color when I moved in. It opens up to the morning room and the living room with no breaks in the walls, so I have 3 rooms the same color, and with my rugs and couch it looks awesome.
Buuuut, I forgot to match the color to my cabinets (maple) and my cabinets blend into the paint, UGH! I know it’s as simple as painting the walls to fix it, but it’s such a large space because the walls are continuous! So I tend to work on other projects. This would be awesome for my ALL WHITE countertops in our bathrooms!
Encore Encore
I’m #1! I’m #1!

My dream kitchen would be one with actual real materials (ie stone, wood) rather than laminate EVERYTHING. The previous homeowners left us with the 1980’s catalogue they ordered the kitchen from which proclaimed laminate to be “an emerging North American tradition.” BLEH.
Oh and natural gas…. but that will never happen out in the boonies!
Encore, encore. I like a black and white kitchen with a pretty tile backsplash.
Encore! Encore! Oh man! Please let me win this! I bought a foreclosed home in Athens, GA a number of years ago, and while the rest of the house is coming along, the kitchen is killing me! Ideally, I’d like to see white cabinets (currently they are honey oak), dark concrete counters (currently beige, chipped formica) and an island. Someday, I’d like to add a wine fridge in the place of some of my lower cabinets, and a wet bar on the opposite end of the dining room.
Encore! Encore! My parents kitchen needs this so badly! I have been trying for years to get them to fix up the kitchen, and this would be a perfect jump start!
Encore! Encore! I’ve always dreamed of having a big island. Growing up I never had one and now in my own home I don’t. So that’s number one on the list for the next house!
Encore! Encore! In my dream kitchen I would have a huge butler’s pantry, a double oven, and double fridge…basically more space than I have now!
Encore! Encore! I would love a neutral kitchen with pops of color.
Encore! Encore! I’m dieing to remove the wall between my dining room and kitchen to open the space up and create a breakfast bar/extended countertop so my girls can eat there in the morning. I have big dreams and little cash 🙂 Thanks for the opportunity to win something so fun! Plus- I think I’m the first commenter 🙂
Encore! Encore!
I would be perfectly happy with just some good ole counter space, I got me one of those nice 1950’s kitchens with counters on one wall so some counters and cabinets on the other 1 or 2 walls would take the cake for me, ok and since we are dreaming..a dishwasher 🙂
”Encore! Encore!”
I’d love to get rid of my baby blue formica countertops and my pink hued cabinets!!! That’s really all I want in a kitchen these days 🙂
Encore! Encore! At this point, my dream kitchen would have a huge pantry, fixed island w/cabinets that the baby can’t get into, and cork flooring 🙂
Encore! Encore! New kitchen is a huge debate in our house right now. I dream of gray lowers and white uppers with a black counter. Right now we have some weird fake wood stuff with laminate counters. Yeah…No thanks. Awesome giveaway!
Encore! Encore!
I would LOVE to have some black countertops in my kitchen! We’ve got it painted an amazing green color but the countertops are an evergreeny-green which is miserably tacky together. Black would be juuuust the right thing with our white cabinets to really make the room go together!
Encore! Encore! My dream kitchen would have lots of cabinets/counter space and a huge pantry so I can be a coupon stockpiler! LOL
Encore! Encore! I’m dreaming of a french door refrigerator with freezer on the bottom, and I so wish I had a spot for an island!!
Encore! Encore!
I am trying to convince my husband we should paint our cabinets white- maybe if I show him yours he’ll finally agree, they look great!!
Encore! Encore!
I actually really like my kitchen- the shape and everything. It just needs a paint job of the cabinets and new counter top. This would help!
Encore! Encore!
I love all white kitchens!! Lots of greens and blue hues on open shelves… mmmmm.
Encore! Encore! Boy do we NEED new counter tops! Can you say solid white laminate? UGLY.
Besides that, I’d love one of those huge fridges with the freezer drawer on the bottom. 🙂
ENCORE ENCORE!! My dream kitchen would be my current kitchen times 10! I love our kitchen (white cabinets, blue walls and faux slate flooring) but its small. I’d love a more open kitchen with an island and a pantry. And a garbage shoot straight outside so my lazy butt doesn’t have to take it outside in the winter!… only in my dreams!
Encore! Encore! Oh my dream kitchen would have double wall ovens for lots of baking! ORB fixtures….and lots of cabinet features to organize all the kitchen tools!
Encore! Encore!
I dream of new cabinets/refacing our cabinets (we have the originals from the 70s) and especially ripping down one wall and putting in a giant island to make our upstairs one big space. Some day! Your kitchen is looking great, Katie! Can’t wait to see the after!
Encore! Encore! I would LOVE to have some ikea cabinets with pullout drawers. So much more functional!
Encore Encore!! I want a gourmet kitchen to fit my baker’s dreams!
Encore! Encore!
Ooooooo, double fridge. That would be so wonderful!
Encore! Encore! I would love to have an open kitchen with a walk in pantry!
ENCORE! ENCORE!
Dream kitchen….. gas stove top, double wall ovens, beautiful countertops……beautiful cookware.
Encore! Encore! I love all white cabinets with super dark countertops!
ENCORE, ENCORE! My dream kitchen includes stainless steel appliances (including double ovens), plenty of counter space, an island for people to gather around and all kinds of other goodies (a wine cooler would just be icing on the cake).
Encore! Encore!
I desperately need this! We have the most horrible beige laminate counters and a remodel is not in the cards for us right now.
Encore! Encore!
I so need to transform my 70s laminate mauve kitchen counters!!!!!!
Encore! Encore! Two ovens is a must have in my kitchen, and some refinished countertops would be AMAZING in lieu of the old off-white 90’s counters I’m corrently working with!
Encore! Encore! I am soooo excited about this giveaway! My counters are in a sad sad shape. I would love a larger kitchen, with white cabinets and dark counter tops. I’m working with a tiny galley kitchen, old wooden cabinets and old chipped counter tops.
Encore! Encore! My dream kitchen would have counter space galore and a big walk-in pantry!
Encore! Encore!
My dream kitchen would definitely have a butler’s pantry, I never feel like I have enough storage. I would also love a nice big island with a cook top and stool around it for chatting while I’m cooking. I would also love to have a pretty glass backsplash, I just love the looks of of it.
”Encore! Encore!” Lots of cabinet and counter space and a rockin’ backsplash!
Encore, encore!
We have medium wood color cabinets, greyish-pink laminate countertops with a blue subway tile edge and backsplash. I would love to have all white countertops and really brighten up our kitchen!
encore! encore! I just want lots of counter space and storage!!
Encore Encore! I would have subway tile, lots of white, and a double oven. Oh, and tons of counter space! That’s what I miss most in my current kitchen 🙁
”Encore! Encore!”
Anything would be an improvement over the kitchen in our new house. I dream of cabinets with shelves that can hold items over 8″ tall. And a oven where 200 degrees doesn’t mean 450, and 450 doesn’t mean 200. And where our fridge doesn’t have to be on a random spare wall because we don’t own a micro fairy-sized fridge.
But even so, if I win, I’ll be using this kit to de-pink-ify the counter tops in 2 different bathrooms.
Encore Encore!!! I’ve been needing/wanting/lusting after new kitchen counter tops as long as I’ve lived in my house. Maybe this would be the solution.
Encore! Encore!
We’ve got wood cabinets that just look dated even though our house is only 6 years old. We would love to paint them wait — just hesitant. I know a lot of people that have done that and it shows every little scratch.
We also have these fake granite counter tops that need to go. This would be perfect!
Encore! Encore! I truly think your kitchen is a big as my entire 1941 bungalow! My dream kitchen would definitely need to be in a different house, but for the time being I would love a big white farm sink with oil rubbed bronze fixtures.
ENCORE! ENCORE!
Oh Katie, my kitchen needs something. Oak cabinets plus cheap counter tops plus flesh colored walls and no backsplash =kitchen ugliness overload. I am dreaming of black counter tops, a beach glass hued subway tiled backsplash, creamy colored cabinetry and a new wall color in a nice neutral shade.
Thanks, Kyle
Encore encore! I would have white cabinets…and I have no idea what else! HahA
”Encore! Encore!” KATIE! This is exactly what I’m needing to help take my dated little space to that next level without breaking the bank! My dream kitchen has built in wine fridges and open cubies and a hammered copper sink, very “modern Tuscan”, but cozy. Love me some kitchen reno!
Encore! Encore! Soapstone countertops, white cabinets, and a HUGE island is my dream kitchen. Someday.
I have been a dental assistant for about 8 years and I have 3 gold crowns of my own. They are actually better than a tooth colored crown because they wear like your actual teeth. Guessing you have a good dentist to even suggest gold, it should last you the rest of your life assuming you take care of your teeth like normal. : )
Encore! Encore! I would LOVE to get rid of our teal green counter tops in our master bathroom.
“Encore! Encore!” I am dreaming about a large open kitchen with a huge island, lots of white cabinets with crown molding, black stone counter tops, dark wood look tile flooring, white subway tile backsplash, big white farmhouse sink, gray/blue walls and stainless steel appliances.

Encore! Encore! Would love a
walk in pantry.
Encore! Encore! My dream kitchen would have a rockin’ butler’s pantry and two (quiet) dishwashers for all the family dinners we do around here!
Encore! Encore! I saw your post yesterday and seriously it’s PERFECT for a home I am looking to purchase. It currently has BLUE countertops. Hot, let me tell you.
Anyways, my dream kitchen is to totally have one of those refrigerators that look like it’s a part of the cabinets. Ha, it’s the little things in life right?
And PS your kitchen is looking seriously awesome! Great work. Especially for being 9 months prego. You go girl!!

I’d love a kitchen with dark counters and white cabinets!!
Encore! Encore! We currently have honey oak cabinets and gray-ish counters, but we love YOUR kitchen. We’d love to have white cabinets and black counters, and this kit would get us well on our way in transforming them!
Encore! Encore! My dream kitchen would have lots of counter space and a breakfast nook!
Encore! Encore! I showed my fiance your post and he loved the idea of using encore in our kitchen. We would go with the gray option. My dream kitchen would have more counter space and pretty, shiny backsplash! Thanks!
Encore! Encore!
My dream kitchen would be double the size of my current kitchen… and it would clean itself! hahaha. Is that possible yet?!
ENCORE! ENCORE! I have sooo many plans for our kitchen! I want to paint the cabinets, get new stainless appliances (including a double door fridge and double oven), new countertops, a few glass front cabinet doors, new hood, and a wine cooler wouldn’t be bad either 😉
Encore! Encore!
I’d like the side by side frig with the freezer drawer on the bottom.
ENCORE! ENCORE!!
My husband and I are currently renovating our house to make it our home, unfortunately one of the things that is on the bottom of the “complete overhaul” list is the kitchen, we have painted “Jamaican Sea” blue to tide me over but the counter tops drive me CRAZY!!
It is a large poorly designed kitchen with lots of space but little to no counter/ cupboard space, I can hardly wait for the day when we can have a pantry instead of 2 (double sided) cupboards to store our food in….. oh yes 2 cupboards makes for not a lot of room…
Sorry for the rant, but I would love this countertop kit to redo the ugly orangey-beigy countertops…. ew..
🙂
Encore! Encore!
This is the perfect solution to our all white kitchen. We have black and white tile floors but laminent counter tops and I have been dreaming of replacing them. Pick me please!!!!
Encore! Encore!
My dream kitchen would be white with pops of colorful accessories with a LARGE chunky island in the middle of it all. 🙂
Encore! Encore!
I once saw this kitchen on TV where the cabinets went all the way down to the counters. You could store SO much stuff there, then close the cabinets doors and no-one would ever see it. Pure Genius!
Encore! Encore!
I would love my kitchen to be high contrast with white cabinets and black counters. The home run for me would be having a colorful subway tile backsplash (a light blue or mint green would be fantastic!). Sigh. One day…
Encore! Encore! My dream Kitchwn is mine but all white, new counter tops, and rich, mocha wood floors. Mmmmm
Encore! Encore! I think my dream kitchen all depends on my dream house 🙂 In our current home I would love white on white because the kitchen is so dark. We have the white cabinets, we just need to change our purple/blue counters.
Encore! Encore! I have loved watching your kitchen make over! White cabinets are my absolute favorite! In my dream kitchen I would go for high contrast with a fantastic backsplash! (Mint green/light blue subway tiles are my current obsessions!) Thanks for this giveaway!
Encore! Encore!
My dream kitchen has dark cabinets and gray counter tops! I’m trying to work on those cabinets now ;-).
Also – so excited about this giveaway!! I emailed Encore about finding a retailer in my area after I read your last post! This product looks amazing!!!
Encore! Encore! – my dream kitchen? anything other than the one I currently have…I inherited poorly homemade cupboards from the previous owners that must have a gazillion coats of uneven stain and varnish on them…and nothing is level, and they are a honey, but not nice honey colour. oh how I loathe those cupboards! so my dream kitchen…anything in a nice clean crisp white!
Encore! Encore! My dream kitchen is pretty much the kitchen I already have, except for the countertops–which is why it’d be awesome if I won this! The previous owners redid the kitchen in our 1900 house 6 months before we bought it–we have black distressed cabinets and red brick walls (made with pavers, but surprisingly deceptive, everyone thinks they’re original brick wall to the house!)
Encore! Encore! Warm and inviting, cooking is my least favorite thing next to buying groceries and laundry so if I am going to be in there it darn well better be inviting!
Encore! Encore! If I have to be in that room I need it to be warm and inviting.
Encore! Encore! I would love an all-white kitchen, with a big ‘ole window seat! We’ll get there, someday…
Encore! Encore! I would LOVE a butlers pantry as well as double ovens but I will have to make do with my gorgeous kitchen that I have for now. Maybe at the next house…
ENCORE ENCORE!!!! My husband and I are buying a new house, and have BIG hopes for our future kitchen. We are thinking dark stained cabinets and a spacious island with lots of seating!
Encore! Encore! I would love a brand new kitchen with dark espresso cabinets and countertops in a gray quartz. Add an eye catching glass tile backsplash and brand new stainless steel appliances and I would be a very happy guy!
Encore! Encore! A kitchen island with stools where my kids could sit and do their homework while I make dinner.
Encore! Encore! I would love to have a hidden pantry, the kind that looks like cabinets but when you open them it takes you into a secret room full of food! I also really want an island with bar stools for my future children to sit at while they do homework and I make dinner 🙂
Encore! Encore! I would love a brand new kitchen with cabinets in a dark espresso color and quartz cabinets in a concrete gray. Now add a eye catching glass back splash and brand new stainless steel appliances and I would be one happy guy!
Encore! Encore!
I want a giant pantry, a TV, double oven, MIXER cabinet lift out thing, dark countertops, and colorful towels and decorations.
Encore! Encore!
My dream kitchen would be white with pops of color, open shelving, DISHWASHER (pining for one now, lol), white subway tile, soft gray walls, pretty farm table! Oh, the list could go one, lol =)
Encore encore! I would love to have a classic, country cottage style kitchen. Preferably white cabinets with light marble countertops, and classic yellow walls. A nice island, some touches of blue here and there, that sort of thing 🙂
Encore! Encore! My dream kitchen would have dark gray lower cabinets, light gray upper cabinets. Some frosted glass cabinet fronts, and some great display shelves! A great gas range with a pasta pot water filler faucety thing on the wall I love me some pasta!! A huge bottom freezer refrigerator, and a big island with high top seating.
Encore! Encore!
I want the concrete countertops, subway tile backsplash and viking appliances
Encore! Encore!
I would love a kitchen big enough for an island with bar stools & a little desk area but I’d be more than happy with my galley kitchen if I could just rip it out & start over. …..that’s not too much to ask, right?!
Encore! Encore!
We just finished a small kitchen make over! Paint, floor and new fabric .. I would LOVE new counter tops!
Encore! Encore! What a fabulous giveaway. I’d love a butler’s pantry….a wine cooler….but most of all, I’d adore a big ‘ole island with plenty of space for friends and family to gather while we cook.
Encore! Encore! White cabinets…tile backsplash, and double oven!
Encore! Encore! Right now our kitchen has white cabinets, white tile floors, white laminate countertops and a white tile backsplash! Awful! We’re planning to repaint our cabinets with a fresh coat of white (you’re blog has been very helpful) and we loved the idea of having black or dark gray countertops! Penny Tile backsplash??? Lots of work to do 🙂
Encore! Encore! My dream kitchen would definitely have a double oven, tons of counter space and beautifully organized drawers and cupboards…. my current kitchen needs a little *coughalotofcough* help! 😀 Also, I know I’m very unlikely to win this draw, but really want this product and I can’t find anywhere online where I can order it and have it mailed to my remote Canadian town…. any idea if this is possible?
Encore! I just want a fabulous French door fridge! Simple enough, right?
Encore! Encore!
I’ve been working in small stages on a kitchen makeover for the past 10 months (yah, I started the project by removing wallpaper on NYE then having a paint party with my ma on New Years Day. We’re hardcore partiers. I decided to paint the bottom cabinets a steel blue/grey (upper are crisp white) to somewhat match my gnarly blueish laminate counter top in hopes it would kinda disappear. While the cabinet paint does make a huge difference, getting rid of the hideous counter would be such a better solution. Then I can go for all white cabinets, Bower-style (twinsies).
Encore encore! The kitchen we have in our new house has all new appliances, but old countertops, backsplash, and cabinets. My dream kitchen would have brand-new granite countertops, a gorgeous backsplash and fancy new cabinets! Oh, and an island. Gotta have an island.
Encore! Encore! As long as it is warm and inviting I am good to go!
Encore! Encore!
My dream kitchen would be large enough for a dishwasher…house built in 1957 means I don’t currently have one!
Encore! Encore! Dream kitchen would have LOTS of counterspace. More space for gadgets and potlucks. 🙂
I want to apologize. I wasn’t trying to pad the drawing I swear…my submission kept saying your server was down. Now I see that was notsomuch the case. Excuse me while I go hang my head in shame…
Encore! Encore! I really want to paint our oak cabinets white, still trying to convince the hubs. What really would make my kitchen my dream is having a stainless steel gas stove/electric double oven. Not in the cards for a while, but doesn’t stop me from dreaming!! 🙂
Encore! Encore!
My dream kitchen would have nice counter tops, tall, dark or white cabinets with lots 0 storage….something I’m lacking.
Encore! Encore! Thanks for the giveaway! My Mom-my could use new counter tops too! I would love to win this for her. My dream kitchen would include a double oven and a farmhouse sink. I love me a beautiful white farmhouse sink! Now all I need is to get out of my apartment and into my own house so I can have a pretty kitchen!
Encore Encore! We have been redoing our kitchen and this is something I have been thinking of trying! I will someday have my open kitchen/family room/great room but until then I would love to try this on my old and out dated countertops.
Encore! Encore! I would love some sparkling granite countertops with a white subway tile backsplash..so classy and timeless!
Encore! Encore!
I would have double ovens and a pot filler.
Encore! Encore! My dream kitchen would have a walk-in pantry. Or any sort of norm pantry, for that matter. Mine’s this weird triangular sort of thing with folding doors that always end up in the way.
Encore! Encore!
I’d have an all white kitchen, dark wood island with white and grey marble tops! I’d also love a double fridge and a nice big range, pretty glass backsplash, etc… the list goes on and on. haha!
Encore, encore!! I wish my kitchen was wall-to-wall in white subway tile with some swishy retro-floral curtains… new counters would be nice, too! Good luck with the impending arrival of the little bambino, Katie!
Encore, Encore! I would dearly love a large pantry, or one with pull out shelves. And some classy countertops would be nice too. Our fake wood looking laminate is a big eye sore!
Encore! Encore!
Dream kitchen would have dark cabinets and white countertops. And a new fancy range/oven 🙂
Encore! Encore! I was totally enamored when I read the post about your mom’s countertops, because we have been looking for a low cost fix for the PINK counters in our new house!!! I am super stoked with this giveaway and really really hope I win, because low cost in our book is still lower than the reasonable price of $269. Dream kitchen? I love the idea of a nice big island that the family could eat at or we could serve apps for family dinners and get togethers and I am a sucker for cabinets – pretty ones, that is! I love your white ones, they are stunning!
Encore!Encore! I would love a white country kitchen with a big country sink and a beautiful old dresser for an island!
Encore! Encore! I love that there is a product that gives the look of concrete counters but without the gigantor slab element of that process.
Hmm…I think I have several variations of a dream kitchen. One is a super kitsch retro style, checkerboard floor and all, another has lacquered black cabinets, and another has a freaking mirror tile backsplash. Basically, I need a house with three kitchens because these ideas are so not going to play nicely together. Maybe Encore could be the piece that ties it all together…!
Anyway, thanks for doing a giveaway for this. Love your blog! (Long time lurker, first time commenter!)
Encore! Encore! All white, stainless, and tons of counter space!

My dream kitchen would have a butler’s pantry and tons of creative storage!
Encore! Encore! 🙂 I love this idea and your mom’s countertops turned out great! In my dream kitchen I would have all white. I’d also have a SubZero refrigerator and a six burner gas range. An apron front sink with a high neck faucet. I’d have orange accents in my rugs, art and curtains but could easily change them out without spending much money. I’d have a large farm house table with one side using a banquet type, fabric covered seat with throw pillows. Not that I have really given the matter any thought. 😉
Encore! Encore! My dream kitchen would definitely have a huge island with an extra sink and stools for the whole family. And definitely lots of natural light!
Encore! Encore! I’d just like any type of new counters. These look pretty neat.
”Encore! Encore!”
Dream kitchen….where do I begin????? I love space in the kitchen, it really is the heart of the home. Maybe one day…..for now I could really use this Encore stuff to improve my ugly old butcher block laminate! 🙂
Encore! Encore! I would love Paula Dean’s kitchen. Uhm, Yes Please!
ENCORE ENCORE!!
I dream of having a big open kitchen with LOTS of windows and a HUGE butler’s pantry!
Encore! Encore!
Encore! Encore!
My husband and I just bought our first home over the summer and it’s had only one owner in it’s 30-year existence…an eldery couple. So I would love to change EVERYTHING in it. Up-to-date range, fridge, white cabinets with new knobs, retro sink, large blue wall tiles, and probably the most important would be adding a dishwasher. Hand washing everything is horrible.
Encore! Encore! I could really use this as we have an outdated countertop and we are putting our house up for sale. My dream kitchen would include a built in wine fridge and a dummy waiter! I always loved that one on the show Webster 🙂
Encore! Encore!
I would love a fancy backsplash. I have a 4 inch one that is just an extension of the countertop. Boo.
Encore, encore!!
I have a trailer kitchen for now, we’ve fixed up everything except the countertops, which are a weird cream color on top with pink edging. The walls used to be printed wallboard with a weird pink, black and red spice jars which we painted over first thing. This countertop thing looks amazing!!
Encore Encore! I would love that for our bar downstairs. My dream kitchen would be a mix of walnut and white cabinets with black granite and marble countertops. One day… one day.
ENCORE ! ENCORE!
I’d love a pantry in our kitchen. I’d also love new cabinets and a built in fridge. A girl can dream, can’t she?
ENCORE!ENCORE!!
My dream kitchen is almost like yours 🙂 Wide open, all white, island in the middle. I also would love a walk in pantry with plenty of storage.
Encore! Encore!
I’d go white 🙂
With a bit of contrast on the walls and dark floors. This would be such a good solution to my counters until a big overhaul is in the budget!
Encore! Encore!
I’d love a contrast kitchen- I’d get the black or gray!
Encore! Encore! My dream kitchen would have a view of the ocean from everywhere. That would be awesome!
Encore Encore! Would love a wine cooler!
Encore! Encore!
I have a small kitchen with limited counter space. As in only about 8 ft of it. I would love some high contrast black countertops with my all white cabinets. I have so many plans and I love subway tile. I need it to live! 🙂
Encore! Encore!
Honestly, what I want is really simple. I love the size and layout of our current kitchen, but just want to spruce it up. On my list: refinished countertops (the cocoa bean shade would work well in our kitchen, I think), tile backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, and cool pendant lights to replace the hideous spotlight over the sink.
Encore Encore! Dream kitchen…cabinets that reach the ceiling, full pantry and an island with enough seating for six!
Encore!!!
Just bought a home and in my dream kitchen-
I would love stainless appliances and a gorgeous hardwood floor- along with a beautiful porcelain farmhouse sink!!
ENCORE! ENCORE! I would love to have a pantry and double wall ovens.
Encore! Encore!
My dream kitchen has new cabinet,new countertops, a bigger fridge and a pantry.
ENCORE! ENCORE! my dream kitchen would be very roomy (i love serveware so id need lots of storage for it!) with lots of white & marble:)
Encore! Encore!
My dream kitchen is big with seating for gathering friends and family, lots of lighting, loads of counter space, and nice appliances. Kind of opposite from what I currently have. 😉
Encore! Encore! My dream kitchen would have white cabinets, black or charcoal tile floors, and dark counters with tons of natural light!
Encore! Encore!
OOoh! I’m really excited about this giveaway! I’ve been wanting to redo my countertops for over a year. Apparently the previous owners had never heard of a cutting board or trivet… Anyways, I REALLY like the way this looks compared to the Rustoleum fleck’y kind. There aren’t any local stores that carry it though, :o( I painted all of my cabinets white last year, and LOVE it. White kitchen + white dishes + dark gray concrete’esque countertops + a few happy pops of color = dream kitchen for me. :o)
Encore! Encore!
I love the idea of darker counter tops. Right now ours have hints of pink in them. It’s not pretty. But since our kitchen is tiny, I’d love a double sink, dishwasher, hood vent above our stove (because we don’t have one) and just more cupboard/counter space. So basically a new kitchen. But I’d settle for new counters.
Encore! Encore!
My dream kitchen…. nice warm tone cherry cabinets with a nice light color granite slab, a big kitchen island complete with sink, a Viking range and refrigerator and best of all…skylights!
Encore! Encore! Would love to do this for our current kitchen countertops until we completely remodel!! Dream kitchen would include tons of counterspace with a double Viking range and full size sub zero fridge and freezer!
Encore! Encore!
My dream kitchen has an exhaust fan!! Our old ranch doesn’t have one, and let’s just say that the past 40 years of the Dead Guy (what we lovingly call the dude who used to own the house… before he passed away)… there’s lots of grease on the cupboards. Ick!
I’d LOVE to give these nasty laminate countertops a make over! 🙂
Encore! Encore!
I would love a huge kitchen with a large island with seating for guests to sit at while I entertain, two ovens, large deep ceramic sink, walk in wine closet, granite counters – you name it, I want it. Right now I have a TINY kitchen in a condo with NONE of that. : (
Encore! Encore! My dream kitchen would be all white and come with someone to clean it!
Encore! Encore! I actually bought a home with a pretty nice kitchen except for the forest green counter tops and Tuscan feel backsplash. This product would really help turn my kitchen into something great.
Encore! Encore!
I wouldn’t even know where to start with my dream kitchen… I do like myself some nice tiles so maybe it would be the backsplash (I’m a wood floors sort of gal).
Encore! Encore! My kitchen is small and dark, so my dream kitchen is bright and spacious!
ENCORE ENCORE! I have some countertop space that could really use some TLC!
Encore! Encore!
In my dream kitchen…I would have lots of windows with shelves to store glassware and open cabinets with some kind of painted design on the back…and an island with retro light fixtures and cute stools. 🙂
Encore! Encore! In my dream kitchen I would have a double oven and tons of storage!
Encore! Encore! =) My dream kitchen would consist of a wider space to work than what we have now (Think YHL’s old house kitchen) with the left side being a breakfast bar area rather than a walled area. Open shelving. A huge a** fridge/freezer. Dark wood floors with white cabinets. A built in pantry area. My great grandma’s kitchen table. And moody grey walls with white wainscoting. Phew. Can’t tell I have been busy dreaming. haha.
Encore! Encore!
My dream kitchen would involve a big fat ISLAND in the middle of the kitchen, for additional workspace and socializing space (I envision bar stools and a place to eat as well as cook).
Encore! Encore! Hmm…wine cooler, ice machine, can we throw in a kegerator? (Spelling??)
Encore Encore! I have dreams of a beautiful all white kitchen with dark reclaimed wood floors
encore encore! can’t wait to start my kitchen reno.. thinking white cabinets with dark counters
Encore! Encore! My dream kitchen includes lots of space, a butler’s pantry, and a chef always in it. My parents are trying to sell their house and I think this would give it a lift!
Encore! Encore! I would like stainless appliances, please. Oh, and could someone come and take down my wallpaper? It’s a “pretty” yellow and blue floral pattern circa 1998. I’d also like real ORB knobs (I spray-painted mine–maybe a little too quickly), more counter space, and one of those lovely Pottery Barn tables with a bench seat.
But the countertop kit will help with my WHITE laminate countertops that show every coffee ring, every crumb, and DRIVE ME INSANE!!!!
ENCORE ENCORE! Dream kitchen would have a pull out spice cabinet, a walk in pantry and a commercial stove and range hood. I love the look of granite tops, but maybe some butcher block mixed in. I could go on and on…thanks for the giveaway
Encore encore!!! I can’t WAIT to move into our new house and have a dishwasher!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Encore! Encore!
Encore! Encore! Did you get my previous comment? Not trying to post twice, but my Internet wigged out.
Encore! Encore! I would love a kitchen with an island for prepping and eating and a huge pantry!
encore! encore! to start, i’d like countertops that aren’t ugly green/black laminate!
Encore! Encore!
My dream kitchen would have new countertops 🙂 Ours are blue (blue!) Laminate and are next on our to do list!
Encore! Encore! I’d LOVE to have a huge professional grade kitchen… and someone to do all the shopping and prepping for me. = )
Encore! Encore! I’m so excited about this giveaway. I was ecstatic about your mom’s countertop makeover. My dream kitchen would definitely have high ceilings and a huge island with prep area and seating for the kiddos. Oh, and someone to actually do the cooking wouldn’t hurt either. 🙂
Encore! Encore! My dream kitchen would be nothing like my current kitchen — except for the space, which is quite large. But after all the beauty and function are updated (new counters, painted cabinets, new lighting, new floors, new appliances), at the end of the day what I want most in my day is a place to sit — either a set of upholstered rocking chairs or a little loveseat. I just love the idea of curling up with my kiddos to catch up with my hubs while he cooks. So I might as well have a great place to sit while he is wearing the chef’s hat. 🙂
ENCORE! ENCORE!
I would simply love a bigger kitchen – and instead of white appliances, let’s go with stainless steel and granite countertops and lots of cabinet space! And a gas stove/oven for perfection in baking!
Encore! Encore!
Encore, Encore! My kitchen is all white. White cabinets, counter, sink, backsplash, and appliances. I would love to have more contrast in my kitchen and have looked into doing something like this instead of replacing our counters!
“Encore! Encore!” I would have either all while modern glossy cabinets with mitered drop downs to the floor out of white caesarstone or dark espresso cabinets with a white hanstone with mitered drop downs…..
encore! encore!
i am dying for one of those apron, farmhouse style sinks! and new cabinets with nice cup pulls (like yours) 🙂
Encore! Encore! I can’t believe it can be used on tile! I’m SUPER interested now, since the tiles I have are all chipped and gross.
Dream kitchen… I definitely want an island for congregating and chatting while cooking. Cabinet space galore. Two ovens, built in with the cabinets. And a pot hanger in the middle with shiny copper pots (given someone comes in to shine them…).
Encore! Encore! In my dream kitchen, I’d love to have a huge open floor plan and big island to fit everyone when we entertain since they end up in the kitchen every time!
Encore! Encore! My husband and I are remodeling our kitchen right now. My dream is to have a team come in and finish it for us.
Encore! Encore!
I like my kitchens compact and efficient – everything at your fingertips. I love a white painted cottage kitchen.
We just got a “seaside” condo that we need new countertops for, this could save the counters that are there!
Encore! Encore! My dream kitchen would be high contrast. White cabinets with a darker top. An island with beadboard that is a different color, to add a little more contrast. Lets make the island have a butcher block top too! Backsplash would be a colored subway tile for sure! Too much going on?
Encore! Encore! White cabinets, large walkin pantry, small built in desk area, double refrigerator, and deep cherry wood floors. That is my dream kitchen.
”Encore! Encore!”
Man would I love one of those big farm house sinks with the industrial hardware, concrete counter tops and plenty of space for cooking!
Encore! Encore! My dream kitchen would have white cabinets, a large window infront of the sink, a large walk-in pantry, a built-in desk area, and deep cherry wood floors.
”Encore! Encore!”
Right now my dream would be anything but what I have. Fully functioning cabinet doors would be a good start, I may have ripped one off the hinges in the past few months…
The ugly countertops sure could use a hand, too!
“Encore! Encore!”
My dream kitchen changes often, but the one thing it ALWAYS has is a farmhouse sink.
Encore! Encore! I would love having counters on 3 of the four sides of the kitchen with a huge island in the middle with 4 barstools 🙂
Encore! Encore! Would love to update my kitchen and not have to spend a fortune to do it!
Encore! Encore!
My dream kitchen would have new cabinet doors and painted a much better color than they currenly are.
Thanks.
Encore! Encore! I am going to be painting my cabinets white, but need to do something with the nasty countertops. This would be the perfect option!! I would go with black.
Encore! Encore! I would just love a finished kitchen!!! Yep, I dream big. 🙂
Encore, encore. My husband and I are purchasing our forever home and can not wait to redo the kitchen. This would be a great alternative to what is currently in there. I would also love a french refridgerator.
Encore Encore! I have a very small kitchen now and would love to add more cabinets and a big pantry so I can buy in bulk!
ENCORE, ENCORE! I am not ashamed to say I want it ALL. Clean white cabinets, glass backsplash, huge single sink, and pretty lights! Throw in an eight burner stove, stainless fridge and dish washer ( either machine or person will do) and I would be one happy girl.
Encore! Encore! I would go ALL white! My dishes and other fancy ceramic items would be my pop of color! YAY!
Encore! Encore!
I think I’d love white cabinets with black counter tops 🙂
Encore! Encore!! I love me some white kitchens!!
Encore! Encore!” I would love love love to have a walk in pantry someday. I would also love to have a little footstool type bench that would fit in the kitchen so that our (future) kids could help out, explore, and be a part of the cooking.
Encore! Encore! I would love this. I love the green color of my kitchen, but the countertops could use a change! I love your all white kitchen it is so pretty!
Encore! Encore!
All white and new appliances!
Encore, encore!!!
Dream kitchen? Oh that’s easy! 48″ Bluestar range, soapstone counters, and some white shaker cabinets…big sigh….
This is such an awesome giveaway! My house was built in 1925 and has all sorts of special qwarks but the one that bothers me the most is that my counters are have as wide as normal counters. So a kitchen reno is in our plans and we want high contrast black cabinets and I would love a double oven!!!
Encore! Encore! My dream kitchen would involve some demoing of walls for a more open floor plan! And of course a fancy new counter top. Right now ours is tile minus the grout that should fill in the yicky holes.
Encore! Encore! My dream kitchen would have a beautiful glass backsplash, huge industrial lighting and a conversation piece island. Maybe reclaimed wood or an old steel rolling cart?
ENCORE! ENCORE!
We are planning a kitchen makeover (on a budget) with new floors and counters, so this would be awesome!!
Encore Encore!! I would love a huge island and a huge professional range white cabinets, dark floors, I could go on and on…
Encore! Encore! I loved your post about your Moms counters and they turned out great. I just painted my oak cabinets white and am dying to do my counters. They are an old, ugly laminate beige and I’ve been trying to decide what the best DIY option would be. My kitchen is tiny and so is my budget. I love the way these look and would LOVE to do it to my counters- it would be a fabulous upgrade! Thanks!
Encore! Encore! Man, I’ve been wanting to do this to my counters forEVER. I’ve got the sad ole’ beige stuff too. With the lovely seams that are right in the middle of the counter. Awesome. I think I’d have to copy your mom and go black, too. Love it!
ENCORE! ENCORE! I would love a kitchen that is open to the rest of the house with a big island for quick meals! 🙂
encore encore! i want alittle more room so that we can open the fridge without hitting the table!

Encore! Encore! I looove a warm kitchen with lots of wood- but only if it’s done right! I also love a modern all white kitchen..sooo torn! lol
Encore! Encore!
I would love white cabinets, double oven, a great vent hood (ours can’t vent outside, so we’re stuck with the useless microwave “vent”), some kind of beautiful solid-surface/butcherblock combo countertops, and plenty of cabinet space. I’m a sucker for beaded or frosted glass doors too, so that’s gotta be on the list. I can’t wait to get a new house and make sure some of these personal upgrades are included… *sigh*
Encore! Encore!
My dream kitchen would have dark counters with lite cabinets, subway tile backsplash, and a farmhouse sink.
ENCORE! ENCORE! I have awful blue countertops and would LOVE to change them. My dream kitchen would be white cabinets, black granite countertops, and white subway tile.
Encore! Encore! My dream kitchen is white with dark countertops {and maybe a darker colored island covered in butcherblock}.

Encore! Encore!
My dream kitchen would definitely have double ovens, a large pantry, and pull-out drawers in the cabinets. I like the look of all white but I also like wood colored cabinets. A huge wall of windows overlooking a beautiful scenery would be ideal too. A girl can dream!
Encore! Encore!
A sink big and deep enough for a triplet baby bath, a walk-in pantry the size of a small bedroom, and hardwood floors. Can we throw in Carrera marble counters and a 6-burner stove since we’re dreaming?

ENCORE! ENCORE! My dream kitchen would have an actual pantry instead of just using some cabinets.

Encore! Encore!
my dream kitchen would have tons of counter space, eco-friendly energy star appliances, and would have amazing views of mountain ranges, trees, and lots of water!
ENCORE! ENCORE!
Oh I have so many kitchen dreams. My kitchen is very builder basic right now and I have my pots and pans and baking items in odd places because nothing is just the right size for holding it all. Our next house will have a pantry, a huge island with electricity, and drawers with organizers…oh organizers. Just a couple more years!!

I would love a walk in pantry! That being said, my kitchen is pretty nice – I’d actually love to win this giveaway for my parent’s kitchen, which has yellow and white countertops from the 70’s – they could definitely use some pretty!
Encore! Encore! I love how your mom’s counter tops turned out. Of course I would love to resurface our counters, but I’d also love (someone else) to repaint my cabinets! At one point they must have been repainted with a paint roller and it left a weird texture on the original 1940’s cabinet doors. Not looking forward to sanding them all down…
Encore! Encore!
I am shopping for an island to increase storage and functionality in my small kitchen, and decided that making the countertops black, like your mom, would make more sense with my black appliances and cherry cupboards.
Encore, Encore! I want it all…high contrast countertops, glass front cabinets on the top cabinets, double oven, an island, 6 burner stove with a grill top, a pantry you can actually put food in…but I’ll keep my fridge and dishwasher. Oh and let’s be honest…this would all be for my hubby since he’s the one who actually cooks around here… 😉
Encore, encore!
I’d love different colored cabinets on top than in bottom. And a walk in pantry!

I would love beautifully painted cabinets (greenish-grey), butcher block counters, and some fantastic backsplash (TBD…maybe penny tile).
Encore! Encore! I swoon for all white kitchens with dark floors and bead board… in mine (currently in the market), I want to paint the walls mint!

Encore! Encore ! I have the most hideous pink and teal countertops in my home! I love the house, but the countertops really ruin the look of the kitchen. I am more traditional in taste, so the oak cabinets suit me. I just want a crisper more sophisticated look for the countertops.
Encore! Encore! Thanks for hosting such a great giveaway, Katie! I would go for high contrast – dark counters (love the mottled gray version by Encore!) and light cabinets, with lots of special details — custom woodwork, antique knobs, a pop of color via artwork, upholstery, something like that. Btw, your mom’s kitchen turned out great! Way to go!

Encore! Encore! I’d love a nice big island and pantry.
I actually like the cabinets in my kitchen and they were one of the reasons we liked this house so much. Lovely custom cabinets….paired with white pastel-speckled laminate. What were they smoking when they made that decision?! Guess they ran out of money or something. And we certainly don’t have the cash right now to fix them. So I would LOVE to have this. I need to make my kitchen gorgeous and this would be a great first step!
Encore! Encore! For my dream kitchen in my current house I would love a gas stove instead of electric, some granite counter tops or some Encore to spice up the laminate and some amazing backsplash to accent my kitchen :)!
Encore! Encore! Give me some stainless steel appliances. (And some new counters, baby!)
”Encore! Encore!” Okay, I’ll say it again: ”Encore! Encore!” Would love to refinish the cheap Formica counter-tops in my kitchen. I’ve done the cabinets and the floor but haven’t repainted the walls waiting to see what kind of new finish I can afford on the counters. I’m hoping you’ll help me solve that problem! Thanks!

Encore! Encore! I have a vision of a beautiful white kitchen with white cabinets, marble countertops and contrast of dark cork floors. Unfortunately, a vision and money available do not match. Not to mention a husband who slips coffee and grape juice on the countertops on a regular basis, marble is out the window. Would love an inexpensive and quick update for the counters!
Encore, encore! I want dome high contrast on my kitchen. This would be fabulous!
Oops- some. Darn auto correct:)

Hey, a girl can dream! Wanna guess what my dream laundry room is, too?
My kitchen in my last apartment was pretty dreamy: a huge counter area, big enough for two people to work, nothing placed in a really weird impractical location, and, best of all, it was U-shaped but open to the living room: perfect for socializing with guests while cooking, without them standing around getting in my way in the kitchen! My dream kitchen would be a bit bigger, with an induction stovetop… and the cabinets about 6″ lower. I’m short and I can never reach the second shelf!
Encore! Encore!
I’d like to resurface my 1970’s builder-grade countertops darker and add a new sink. I think those changes could make my kitchen tolerable until the $$ fairy stops by with a new kitchen fund. (She’s expected in about 15 years.)
Encore! Encore! I am desperate to have a gas stove instead of this God forsaken electric thing I have in my new house.
Encore!! Encore!!
Like yours, my kitchen is a sea of brown wood! Hardwood floor, brown cabinets, and horrid brown laminate countertops and matching back splash! I added some color to the walls (from you guessed it, TAN), and my next step is the countertop and back splash. This would be PERFECT for it!
Encore! Encore! I would give my left kidney to replace my electric stove with a gas stove.
Encore Encore!!!! I would be happy in my kitchen with new floors, painted cabinets and countertops!
Encore! Encore! I acutally love my little apartment kitchen, but I have a friend who could really use some new countertops:)
Encore! Encore!
My dream kitchen would be spacious with hard-wood floors (or laminate, I’m not picky). I’d definitely have a double oven for lots of family cookin’, a large fridge and freezer (because we’ll be stockpiling our bacon if there really is a shortage!), and miles of cabinet space. There would be one of those big farmhouse sinks with a window over it, and an island with seating. I’d have white cabinets and nice new countertops (unlike the beige-ish, cheapy counter tops we have now). There’d be plenty of room for friends/family to just hang out. I’m not asking a lot. Really! =) Okay, maybe it is a lot, but it is my DREAM kitchen, so it’s gotta be amazing. Thanks for the giveaway, Katie!

My kitchen currently boasts vintage yellow formica countertops w/ metal edging c. 1957 and a “goldenrod” colored fridge, so I’ve given my dream kitchen A LOT of thought!
My dream kitchen consists of:
• white or light gray cabinets
• subway tile backsplash w/ dark grout
• dark butcher block counters (including lifetime maintenance)
• a deep apron sink
• open shelves
• black accents
• ss appliances
• butler pantry
”Encore! Encore!” I need a wine cooler in my Dream Kitchen!
Encore! Encore!
I don’t have a garbage disposal. I would love a garbage disposal. Oh, and a double oven would be nice, too.
Encore! Encore! Ahhh, the dream kitchen…. I’m thinking corian (or maybe concrete or quartz) counters, butcher block island, darker toned wood cabinets that are TALL but still have room above them for displaying ‘pretties’. Warm stone colored tile floor, and huge fridge, pantry, storage area. Double oven, built in (hidden) microwave, LARGE range with gas, backsplash that has some pretty colors (or contrast) in it, a chalkboard menu door… of course since my cooking skills are somewhat lacking, I would also like a chef to put this all to good use. 😉
Encore! Encore! 😉 Hi KT, my dream kitchen would of course have space, storage and style. Space to explore and experiment with recipes, to cook and bake simultaneously (yes to double ovens), to entertain and serve meals; Storage to fulfill my organizational and pantry-stocking needs; and, Style that brings smiles to my family, guests and I. 😉
Encore! Encore! I would love an updated kitchen with a double oven and granite countertops!
Encore! Encore!
Its time for my 80’s kitchen to GO!!
Encore! Encore!I want blackcountertops, white cupboards and would kill for new floor and a double oven. Sigh for nowI am working on the cabinets and saving for the countertops
Encore! Encore! My crappy countertops are about 40 years past their prime…If I had an endless budget (even then I still don’t think I would spend carelessly) I would have two ovens and a warming oven along with two or three sinks! That way, a bunch of people could be cooking dinner for me at the same time, hey…it’s a dream right?
Encore! Encore! I would adore a nook off the kitchen that had a fireplace and some comfy chairs. Or perhaps no fireplace and a sweet round table, four velvet chairs as my chatting and card playing spot. I figure if everyone hangs in the kitchen lets make it cozy 🙂
Encore! Encore! I dream of high contrast & plenty of wood tones, butcher block or black cement countertops (I love your mom’s recent redo), white cabinets, and dark tile floor, or even rustic old hardwood, and subway tile backsplash, all mixed together by bright yellow and red accents!
Encore! Encore!! I would love a medium sized kitchen with tons of counter space!
Encore! Encore!
Dream kitchen? Light, Bright and modern! Aqua, stainless steel, fantastic lighting and of course scratch resistant countertops – my current countertops scratch from a fingernail and you cannot set a drink down for one second without it leaving a mark! Oh… and an oven that actually fits my baking trays… yep, the oven is too small for some of them.
Encore, Encore!
I would like cabinets in my kitchen- like real Cabinets! I have shelves now that are covered with shutters (made by the previous owner- who I sometimes call Napolean…stolen from you!) So real cabinets would be amazing!!!
Love your giveaways – but will warn the winner of this one…we bought this product about a year ago with the best intentions of having fabulous new countertops! Over $2,500 later, we do, but it’s a new laminate that we had installed after this product failed miserably. We are fairly crafty folks, so I’ll go as far to say we followed the directions to a T! Alas, zero luck. Not even close. I wouldn’t even let my in-laws in the house to view it I was so embarrassed!
encore, encore!
well… i will just tell you why i need this so bad! we just bought a house in denver, and the downstairs bathroom vanity is PINK! pink. pink. why? anyway, i need to fix it STAT!!!!!
ENCORE ENCORE! My kitchen needs to be updated! 🙂
Encore! Encore!
New counters are definitely near the top of my list, along with a better cabinet layout. But one thing at a time.
Encore! Encore! I would love to get rid of my hunter green kitchen…cabinets are white, doors are green! Along with a green countertop and a green ivy border! I just want to lighten the room up a bit. I can live with everything else!
Encore! Encore! I want allllll whiiiite in my kitchen!
Encore! Encore! This would be perfect for our kitchen countertops! It would really help in our DIY renovation. I read your post about your mom and had emailed them for more info!
Encore! Encore!
I would love white cabinets and white/grey marble counters or maybe shiny black counters. Oh and stainless appliances!
Encore, encore! I do love my kitchen I have now, but I’d love to paint the cabinets white on top and a color on bottom. I’d also like to do something with the awful gray laminate countertops we have… crossing my fingers and toes on this one!
Encore!!! Encore!!! The last piece of the puzzle that has been my kitchen for the past year is the countertops.
Encore! Encore!
Oh to have tall dark cabinets and a pantry. It’s the dream 🙂
Encore! Encore!
My kitchen is currently mint green with a reflective flowery wallpaper for the backsplash (but only in some places – other sections have no ‘backsplash’ at all). Our pantry cabinet is rounded and odd looking. I have no idea what the people we bought the house from were thinking. My dream is that this kitchen would disappear!
Encore encore!!! I dream about white cabinets, black countertops, a huge island, and bright skylights with high ceilings in my kitchen. Drool….
Encore! Encore!
(Do you feel the power when you tell us to do/say something and we all do it?) 😉
My dream kitchen would have a walk-in pantry, organized like the ones you see on Pinterest. It’d have a double oven, because I love to bake. A huge fridge and freezer. An island. A breakfast nook.
Currently my house is sporting PINK counters in the kitchen and bathrooms. I wish I was kidding. Please, dear Lord of all that is beautiful, let me win so I can rectify this situation.
Amen.
Encore! Encore!
I would love a bigger kitchen. Mine is itty bitty, teeny tiny!
Encore! Encore! I would take any update that I can with the awful kitchen we inherited with the house be just bought.
Encore! Encore! My poor kitchen needs help. I’d love to rearrange it so it’s more functional and so I can have a dishwasher!
Encore! Encore! I would love an eco kitchen with cork floors!
Encore! Encore! I would love a colorful, blue and green kitchen that’s still easy to clean. Self-cleaning would really be the best.
Encore! Encore! Under contract on our first home, hopefully the kitchen there will become my dream kitchen one day!
ENCORE ENCORE!!! UGH! I’m happy with my house…except for the kitchen. It is in desperate need of new countertops, cabinets, & a backsplash.
Pick me please! 🙂
Encore! Encore! I would love new kitchen countertops! I can just imagine how wonderful my kitchen would look after using this product.
Encore! Encore!
I would love a big enough kitchen/dining room to be able to fit my entire family (extended too) for the holidays or just whenever! Room for a table the only fits 4 for a family of 5 is pretty cramped!
Morgan
ENCORE!!! ENCORE!!! I totally want & need an Encore!
My counter tops in my tiny 1953 kitchen need some love…
I have 3 giant grown sons, and when they are all here, we have to take turns in the kitchen – it is that small. But, the old white counter tops are just not getting it! I would love a whole kitchen reno – but the space is so small, it can’t really be done without a room addition – NOT in the budget 🙁
Painting the kitchen walls, new kitchen curtains, and freshening the cabinets are my very NEXT project, and a counter top makeover would be ICING ON THE CAKE!!!
Thanks for the awesome giveaway…
Encore! Encore!! I love everything about my kitchen except for my green countertops! Would totally go with the dark re-do like you did with your Mom’s basement kitchen.
”Encore! Encore!”
I want glass front cabinets!
Encore! Encore! I love contrast and stainless steel – everything modern but classic.
Encore! Encore! Gosh, I’d use this in the powder room on the vanity. But my dream kitchen would be at least twice as large as it is now, include a fabulous bar, gorgeous hanging features, a large fridge and freezer and much more storage with an actual pantry.
Encore! Encore! I dream of giving my mom a large kitchen island to create a space for family and friends to flock during “kitchen parties.”
Encore! Encore! I dream of having a BIG kitchen with great workspace and a counter/breakfast bar area.
Yikes Sarah! I hate that for you…you might wanna contact the folks behind the product.

Encore! Encore! Honestly, I’d be happy with anything that’s not a kitchen in an apartment with crappy appliances and laminate countertops. BUT – if I win, this is going to my mom, who desperately needs a kitchen makeover!
Encore! Encore!
My dream kitchen is huge…. lots of counter space, a prep sink, a coffee nook, double ovens….. the list goes on…. why not dream big, right?
Encore Encore!!
Love me some all white 🙂
Encore! Encore!
Ina Garten’s kitchen would be my dream kitchen. The thing I like most is that she has a whole workarea where nobody needs to be in her space in order to also be in the kitchen. Our kitchen now is a pass-through to living room and to basement and to back door, and if you open the door to the refridgerator, you can’t get into the living room doorway. It’s so frustrating!
Encore! Encore! I’m dreaming of a white kitchen! and an island with butcher block counter top.
Encore! Encore! My dream kitchen = stained cabinets + wood floors + granite countertops.
Encore! Encore!
Huge kitchen complete with a gorgeous comfy sitting area. Kitchen and comfy couch go hand in hand in my book. =)
Encore! Encore! A beautiful white kitchen please with all new appliances thrown in 🙂
Encore!! Encore!! I would love a large kitchen with an island, plenty of counter space, walk in pantry, double oven and lots of light! Oh – and white cabinets…

Encore! Encore! I want a big kitchen island and white cabinets!!
Encore! Encore!” Wow, that is quite a transformation to the black. Very nice! I would love to have stained butcher block countertops and a walk in pantry.
Encore! Encore! My dream kitchen would have a huge pantry to store all of my baking supplies & tools, as well as a huge island to prepare meals on. Ahhh, maybe some day!
Encore! Encore! I would love to have my cabinets painted white and get some awesome flooring put in!
Encore! Encore! My dream kitchen would be HUGE! Like the size of a whole house huge! It would have a Butler’s pantry, double ovens, and Emeril 🙂
Encore! Encore!
i’m dreaming of contrasting countertops with white shaker cabinets and a HUGE pantry b/c we don’t have one at all!
Encore Encore! I just want to get rid of my lime green laminate from 1974…
Encore! Encore!
Oh man, my dream kitchen would have the one thing my current kitchen (which I do love) is desperately lacking, a big ol’ pantry. Oh, and while we’re in dream-land, I’ll throw in a darling little coffee bar.
Encore! Encore! This would be perfect – we are redoing out kitchen right now but there is not enough money in the budget for new countertops.
Dream kitchen…I don’t think I’m a good enough cook to deserve any luxury appliances, but it would be sweet to have a pantry, pretty shaker cabinets, a marble or glass subway tile backsplash, and a giant island for entertaining. And a dishwasher! (Nope, we don’t have one!).
Encore! Encore!
I dream of a pantry and large island in a kitchen. But what I really want is to get rid of the 1970s laminate countertop currently residing in my kitchen.
Encore! Encore! I’d love a mostly all-white kitchen with a little color, like pale blue walls!
Encore, Encore…new countertops, please!
Encore Encore! I want a bigger kitchen with a double oven! Ours is kinda dated right now!
Encore! Encore!
I want a backsplash (I don’t have one). And a new dishwasher. A microwave that’s not on my counter. A fancy, fancy sink. Cup pulls for the cabinets. And a million dollars to spend.
Encore! Encore!
My kitchen to do list includes new countertops , ahem, cabinet organizers, glass tile backsplash and French doors.
ENCORE ENCORE!
Encore Encore! I would love white cabinets with cream countertops!
Encore! Encore! I would love to have a double wall oven and more counter space. oh and a butler’s pantry for my china obsession!
Encore! Encore! I’d like a bigger space… a kitchen with a large eating area. Only 1-butt kitchens get old FAST!
Encore! Encore! More counter space please! Who doesn’t want that?!?
Encore! Encore!
I’d love a kitchen that doesn’t have six doors in it… unlike mine!
Encore! Encore! A giant pantry!

Encore! Encore!

Encore, Encore!!!
Encore! Encore!
Currently I have butcherblock laminate countertops and would love to paint them black like in the post and we are working on painting the cabinets a soft grey color. I would love black countertops and white cabinets but my appliances are off white so that would not look good together.
Encore, Encore! My apartment countertops are terrible… this is just the cure! 🙂
Encore!Encore!
My dream kitchen has a full wall of glass, a walk-through pantry, and no upper cabinets at all.

Encore! Encore! I’m dreaming of concrete counters. Or ones that look like it without the fuss!
Encore! Encore! I’d love to have my kitchen, just updated to how I want it. I picture white cabinets, a new tile backsplash, new countertops, and rich, mocha wood floors. mmm I can see it now!
ENCORE! ENCORE! WE NEED THIS COUNTERTOP REDO! I SAID, WE NEED THIS COUNTERTOP REDO!!!
Encore! Encore!
I have lived without a dishwasher for the past 3 years, so that is a must for my dream kitchen
Encore! Encore! My dream kitchen would have a subway tile backsplash and a huge island!
Encore! Encore!
My dream kitchen is open with lots of natural light. And a big gas range. :o)
Encore Encore!
I would love white cabinets with a beadboard backsplash and grey or greige countertops. Also one of those gigantic built in fridge freezer deals would be awesome.
Right now I have countertops in my kitchen and three bathrooms I would love to makeover! 🙂
Encore, encore! My dream kitchen is a huge black and white kitchen, with white cabinets with black soapstone countertops along the walls and a black cabinet island with white marble countertop. And of course it would have a wine fridge in addition to a huge retro looking, but entirely functional gas stove with electric oven, a large fridge with cabinet fronts that blend in, and a dishwasher that works so well it requires no prescrubbing or soaking, and can fit my largest (dishwasher safe) pans and serving dishes.
encore encore! I am in desperate need of a kitchen update all around especially the counters!
Encore! Encore!
My dream kitchen is all open spaces, lots of counters, a large and organized pantry and a way for food to magically appear so I didn’t have to go grocery shopping ever again.
Encore! Encore!
I just bought my first house and I am in the process of making the kitchen more….ME, on a budget, but in a perfect world I would have a big island in the center, a beautiful tiled backsplash, white cabinets, all stainless appliances, and a dark onyx countertop. 🙂
Encore! Encore! Dream kitchen would look a lot like Martha’s – 2 dishwashers, double ovens, double islands with beautiful dishware stacked on open shelving…
Encore! Encore! I feel the need to mention that I am not the same Chelsea that commented immediately before me! Funny stuff, I don’t run into people with my name spelled exactly the same very often. My dream kitchen would have a pantry (yep, our house came without one…) different counter tops and a dramatic backsplash. Right now we will have to do with our current one!

Encore! Encore!
I have a teeeeeeeny tiny NYC kitchen that drives me crazy! But the 70s color scheme and dark green (chipping) laminate tiles make me really want to pull my hair out. This would seriously help improve the look and maybe even spurr me to keep going with some redecorating!
Encore! Encore!
Encore Encore! I’d love to gut the whole thing and start from scratch….I’d love a hidden pantry, breakfast nook…the works!
Encore! Encore! I would like a rustic kitchen!

My dream kitchen would be self-cleaning 😉

”Encore! Encore!” I would love warm wood cabinets
Encore encore! My dream kitchen wld be much larger than the current one! A pantry, a double oven, and a double dishwasher would be on my wish list.
Encore! Encore! Would love to update our 80s countertops!
Encore! Encore!
I hate my countertops, but we are planning on moving next year so I don’t want to sink a ton of money into them.
My dream kitchen would have a butler kitchen, deep farm sink, and a dual fuel stove with gas burners but electric oven. White uppers and gray lower cabinets with marble counters. Swoon!
Encore! Encore!
We have mint green 90s countertops, so I would love to update them. We’re saving for granite, but it will be a while because the mint green is also on the floors and backsplash – lots of re-vamping needed in that space!
Encore! Encore!
Encore! Encore! Right now, I would just be happy with a layout that works better than what I am stuck with now. We are currently saving up for a kitchen reno…can’t wait!
Encore! Encore!
A pantry and space to congregate sound dreamy!
”Encore! Encore!” Hmmmmm…..my dream kitchen would have white cabinets, gray counters, blue/gray backsplash. Double oven, huge pantry, with fantastic faucets and hardware. I’m not doing it justice, but trust me that the picture in my head is gorgeous.
ENCORE! ENCORE!
I’m thinking for our current kitchen we need to get rid of our STAINED WHITE laminate counter tops. I don’t want to put in too much money for a renovation so painting them would be a great option for us. As for the cabinets… I would love to tear them down and burn them (or donate them) but I am at a loss for a low cost renovation.
Encore! Encore! We’re getting ready to do some inexpensive updates to our dingy kitchen to get us through until we can do a full remodel. Encore sounds like the perfect fix for our stained laminate countertops. My dream kitchen is a comfortable and cozy farmhouse style–hardwood floors, dark countertops, white cabinets, lots of beadboard, bin pulls, and a farmhouse sink!
Encore! Encore! My dream kitchen would have a backsplash…any kind or color! New countertops wouldn’t hurt either! 🙂
Encore! Encore! My kitchen needs so much work and this would be a great start!
encore encore!!
Our new house came with the worst kitchen ever…. wish i had realized howbad it really was before we bought it. some new countertopping would help with the aesthetic at least!
“Encore! Encore!”
Our rental kitchen definitely needs a face lift! Told my husband about what you did and he almost was excited about trying it out. But for free…. he would totally tackle this project.
Encore! Encore! Hmmm. Where do I start…. I have space and nice wood floors. My appliances are nice, too. But my counters and cabinets are coated in plastic or something a lot like it. They are all white, but not in a good way. I need something to ground all of that white, and a beautiful gray or black countertop would do the trick! So, that’s what I want: Encore!
