Sara from Whimsies & Whatnots had counters that looked like this:
So she painted them and made them look this:
Aren't they pretty:
So my friend Michelle (who knows Sara in real life) decieded to use the same technique and turned her counters from this:

Pretty amazing what a little paint can do. Even for counters.
You have to clean them really well. Paint them (and do a little splattering to get the granite effect) and then you seal them with Enviro-tex. It is a great way to give your counters a new look when they are good counters, but just not cute!!
just wanted to let you know how much I really appreciate your blog. It is very inspiring to me. Thanks and have a wonderful weekend!

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! My jaw is on the floor! I can't believe those are painted. They look great - please give us updates on these over time - I'm interested to know how durable they are and how happy the owners are with them.
