Umbrellas, I originally had a different post planned for today, but then I saw something WAY better. Lauren's mom, Maureen, recently started a blog and as I was reading through her recent posts, I came across this.
She took this countertop:

Brilliant. B-R-I-L-L-I-A-N-T! I have a feeling this will be an answer to prayer for those of you who can't afford to replace your countertops, but still want to update things. She gives a full tutorial on how she did it here.
Go visit Maureen's blog My Love of Home and thank her for her brilliance!

THIS IS THE INSPIRATION I NEEDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH. MY. GOODNESS. I'm so excited.
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful idea, and the finished product looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThis looks awesome! I never would have thought a bit of spray paint would be durable enough to be a countertop.
ReplyDeleteI will be checking back with her on the long-term durability. I did just find out this is in the laundry room. I'll post any updates I get!
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing! It really looks like it's newly-installed! Looks like I wouldn't need to remove my old counter top just to renovate my kitchen once I use those products.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if this solution would be tough enough to stand up to my countertop/sink combo in the bathroom. It's so darn ugly and chances are slim my landlord is gonna replace it anytime soon (he's planning on taking over the house in a few years and will probably gut the bathroom at that time). If I could just pretty it up in the meantime, I wouldn't be so embarrassed to let guests use my bathroom!
ReplyDeleteHow has it held up against water and the usual everyday abuse?
