Before I get into more pictures, I want you to check out A Really Nice Murder Blog. Our favorite Soccer Mom posted the first five of ten lessons she's learned about writing from television. It's well worth a peek.
And now, on to the pictures!

Removing the mold for the edge
What a kitchen looks like after a day of pouring black cement (the rest of the house looked about the same)

Wow! That is quite an undertaking! Your place is black, ours is covered in a fine white dust from removing sheet rock. Hopefully our project will look as cool in the end as yours does!
BTW - Nice view from the kitchen!
Wow, Melanie, I can't wait to see the final pictures when it's done!
Am off to check that link, now. :-)
I can't believe how big the mess is for such a small piece of concrete. :)
Ah, no I get the black soot. But -- wow. Great choice on the color and he knocked it out of the park with the work. Well done.
Thanks Jason. The mold worked much better than I expected. And I do love the color.
It looks awesome, Melanie! Totally beautiful. I've never even heard of the whole concrete counter idea. It's lovely.
It looks like tar!
Robin, it's supposedly "the latest thing." Everything here is made out of concrete so it seemed like a logical choice. There's some high-tech stuff out there with concrete, some even looks like marble.
Colby, we said the SAME thing! It felt like rubber while it was drying. Now it just feels like regular old concrete. Once we seal it it will be smooth.
Wow.
That's awesome!
So that it's black as you poured it meant you stained it BEFOREhand?
What a mess!
I love the black. Can't wait to see the finished product, in person! ;)
