I recently turned all of my sidebar pictures into buttons. —->
So that you can click on the picture and it will take you to the related post.
And ever since I’ve been getting a lot of comments about my Kitchen Makeover. Once again, this is the Ugly, Ugly Before:
I painted all of the cabinets white. And I also painted the counter tops. Which I’ve been getting a lot of questions about. So I want to address them some more.
Here were my counter tops before. Just a light baby blue that just wasn’t doing it for me..
So I picked up a can of Rust-Oleum counter top paint from Lowe’s. It comes in
20 different colors, and I choose Taupe.
You simply just roll it on your counter tops. The Smell is very very strong and it takes about 3 days to dry. So If you plan to paint yours, I would suggest doing it during warmer weather when you can leave your doors and windows open or even right before you head out of town for a few days since you’ll pretty much be out of a kitchen for awhile.
Here is my after:
So the biggest questions I’ve received is “How have they held up?” Um to answer that, not great! This here is a picture of where my kids sit:
So it gets allot of wear and tare in that area and it has scratch a bit.
But I Seriously would still suggest this product and here is why;
1. It’s a easy, inexpensive, Do -It yourself product. I did it all by myself in less than an hour.
and 2. It only took half the can to do my whole counter tops so one of these days, I’ll get around to touching it up. It’s No big deal for me.
Yes Ideally I would love to have Butcher Block, marble or even cement counter tops, but that is something that’s going to have to wait a few years. So this has been a great alternative.
So I hope that cleared up all of your questions. And if you do still plan to paint your counter tops, I’d love to see how they turned out.
