Hi Teresa. Okay. This is a big project. Let me suggest that you start small and purchase a cheap piece of furniture at a flea market and use that as a practice piece to perfect your approach to cement countertops. I know you want to do your project NOW but practice with cement makes perfect. You should also invest in fine grained concrete for your countertop project. Portland cement is some of the best. It is not cheap, but will give you the results you will be proud of showing off to others. Then follow all the videos available. Happy decorating!
I agree with Bijous about practicing before you do your project. Here's a tutorial with step-by-step instructions that should help you. Wishing you the best.
Hi Teresa, maybe this will help you. There's other youtube videos out there as well.

And . . .check to see if your current cabinets can carry the weight. They might need beefing up or reinforcement as concrete is heavy!
Hey Teresa! I poured my own concrete countertops, and lived to tell all about it! Lol! It really wasn't too bad! Here's the tutorial!
