Not only has the garden kept me busy I also took on a DIY kitchen makeover! I am just a little excited about this makeover! I was introduced to
Giani Countertop Paint by a friend of mine. I went over to her house and could have sworn she got new granite countertops and it turned out she had just painted them with
Giani! Oh. My. God! Who knew? I ordered mine right away on Amazon (free shipping) and waited. I may have been impatient during the wait. What can I say? I have my downfalls. I'm not perfect. Well, most of the time I am.
In case you are wondering. I ordered the Sicilian Sand. But, I added some of my own colors. I picked up a sample of Martha Stewart's "Creve Coeur", I had a Behr sample of "Copper" and I used a little of my wall paint MAB "Summer Sage". It wasn't very hard to do at all. It was super fun. The best thing about it is, when I get tired of this color, I can do it again! Oh won't my hubby be thrilled!
Without further ado, here are the before and after!
 |
| Before - Bayou Volcanic Formica counter tops. The 90's called, they wanted their counter tops back! |
 |
| 1st. stage - Painters tape and primer |
 |
| More painters tape and primer |
 |
| After! |

| Close up of the finish |

ReplyDeleteWow! You did an AMAZING job! I love, Love, LOVE your stove! I wish we had gas! Honey Bunny and I have bounced the idea of sinking a tank just for cooking, but we always manage to talk ourselves out of it..but I SO want gas!
