I had a busy weekend! Not only did I do a bunch of the regular stuff
and have date-night with hubby - but I also replaced 2/3 of our counter top! Woo!
You may remember how the counter (well, the whole kitchen) originally looked:
|
that's forest green counters and a pine edge and back splash |
I couldn't handle the counters, so after we painted the cabinets I primed and painted those counters too.
|
gray - just gray |
I knew that painting the counters was a temporary solution, there was no way it wouldn't get scratched. And, of course, it did. In the meantime I had put a few peel-and-stick tiles on the counter to see how they hold up. The verdict: they worked really quite well! It makes sense, they are made to handle foot traffic, including wet and dirt and dogs, they should be able to handle relatively light wear and tear on a counter.
I picked out a light gray tile that I liked (actually, I let hubby choose between two light grays that I liked, he likes to feel included) and this weekend I finally had the time to go for it. Stay tuned for the results tomorrow...
