RK3 Designs is a learning studio focused on teaching how to create beautiful epoxy finishes using Stone Coat Countertop Epoxy. These tutorials include epoxy countertops for kitchens, bathrooms, and much more. This channel provides tutorials for DIYers, contractors, designers, or artists.
Rhonda Dracoulis Founder and Primary Instructor
RK3 Designs started as a way for Rhonda to showcase her creativity but has blossomed into a way to help others find theirs. Her obsession with painting led her to start refinishing furniture and kitchen cabinets. She found customers wanted a nicer option than laminate but more affordable and customizable than natural stone, which lead her to countertop epoxy! Since then, she’s helped thousands of students, from across the country (and even Canada eh?).

[@marsharn53]

Excellent Video with great teamwork👍Enjoy seeing how Kenny builds the table and rock edge. Love the colors and techniques you used plus the granite effect. Looks like the use of the lazy Susan turntable enhances the design. Lastly, I would use the ultimate top coat because I love the way it finishes the product. Thanks so much for sharing your great talent!

[@RK3Designs]

Thank you so much!! We actually end up doing the matte finish. That video will be out next week 😊

Love this look! You two are amazing and super talented! Beautiful piece. I like the gloss finish but to make it look like real stone I think matte would be a great choice.

[@ChElevenEleven]

Turned out very cool u guys are super creative! I also love those rustic pieces you have showing the the background do u have videos on those here somewhere😍

[@RK3Designs]

Most of the boards behind us were created by our students in class so I don’t have specific videos for them. Which one are you looking at in particular. I may have a video on the technique.

[@daleesalinas474]

Beautiful table Rhonda, really love the colors and techniques. Also, can Kenny tell me how he made the lazy Susan that you have the table on please. This was an awesome video ❤️

[@RK3Designs]

We’ve had several request for that. We will make a video in the next few weeks. 😊

Its fantastic

[@ToddBizCoach]

Simple technique and recipe yet beautiful. What would you think about adding some thin gold veins alongside the bronze?

[@RK3Designs]

That would be gorgeous!!!!

[@wtglb]

Love it! Not sure how it ended up, but I love a gloss finish ❤️

[@RK3Designs]

We put a matte finish and it truly looks like a chunk of stone. 😊

[@teresagriffin]

Love 💕 this table. Can’t decide gloss or matte finish??? I love both....too close to call. Of course, if it were mine, I’d ask someone else to decide for me...LOL!

[@RK3Designs]

😂😂😂. We ended up putting a matte finish. Video on that process coming soon! 😊

Can you make the table top with a hole in middle for umbrella to use outside? How would you finish underside? I would like to make my own unique patio table. Thank you

[@carolgutierrez7961]

OUCH!!! What happened to your left ankle? Last year I had to have a fractured tibia repair; I'm still in therapy for that injury. Hope you're doing well! (Oh, BTW, you posted this on my birthday... such a GREAT gift... thank you!)

Beautiful table guys! Funny you were going for a buttercream color. Why didn’t you use Stonecoat’s buttercream base color? It’s one of their original colors before they partnered with that new company.

[@RK3Designs]

I didn’t have any 😂😂

Hi Kenny and Rhonda

[@RK3Designs]

Hi there!! 👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼

[@jessicat5456]

Love this look. Which colors do you recommend for a gray/black instead of brown/bronze. I want this for my kitchen countertops.

[@RK3Designs]

I would start with a white background and then drizzle with epoxy tinted grey, and then fog with grey spray paint and spritz with plain alcohol.

[@beverlypeterson291]

I want this in a “gray, black, white & gold or silver” finish, too! Please, please do that, Rhonda!!!

[@RK3Designs]

www.rk3designs.com/ Do you prefer dark accents on a light colored background or light accents on a dark background?

[@kaya6357]

Loving the light background with dark accents.

[@tamireichman]

I absolutely love this!!! Is the Heirloom White spray paint you used in gloss or satin? I can't find it in gloss anywhere here - is the satin ok?

[@RK3Designs]

It’s satin. 😊

Thank you!! It’s MDF.

Oh I’m sorry! I misunderstood. We actually put this table on a pedestal table I found for $10 at a hotel furniture liquidation outlet. Painted it black and it works great!
