DIY- Giani Granite table top and hutch top!

I was SUPER tickled.......

when Giani Granite contacted me back in November and asked if I would like to give Gianit Granite a try?, I WAS THRILLED. I clicked the link to their site and learned that you can transform your kitchen counters (you know the one's most of us hate.) into a faux Granite look, that looks like the
{REAL DEAL}. I was WOWED. I also was a little bummed, I thought this product will be of NO USE to me? I rent and so I can't just transform my counters into this fabulousness. I emailed Giani Granite and told them that I rent and sadly won't be able to use it. I was told in return I could use it on tables, and other table top type furniture. YAY, I once again was SUPER THRILLED.

let me just say that this product is amazing, and HELLO STINKEN EASY, I MEAN SOOOOOOOOOO kindergarten EASY!!! PLUS THE AWESOME KIT comes with a HOW to Video that was super informational and helpful. P.S. my mom and sis came to visit today, and they both freaked over my table and hutch. I wish you could of heard their WOW'S and responses. IT WAS AWESOME. MY mumzy said my table has never looked better. Sighhhh, love you  mumz.   LOVE you TOO Giani Granite and your SUPER DUPER AMAZING PRODUCT!!!

HERE ARE SOME BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES. 
 BEFORE- My red maroon hutch
AFTER- My white opulence hutch WITH my faux Granite hutch top in "Sicilian"
DID YOUR MOUTH FALL OPEN??????? WOW RIGHT?

....and here is the old kitchen table top. It was badly beaten up too, you can see a bunch of marks peeling up towards the right.

 AFTER- with more Giani Granite! EEEEE!
ISN'T SHE LOVELY??? ISN'T SHE WONDERFUL???... i love her.

HUTCH BEFORE
 AFTER
 
 
The hutch doors, I added turquoise stripes to give it some more character.
