And now...
I have some pics of my...
New kitchen countertops...
That were actually "new" in August.
Let me tell ya, I'm LOVING them! They are a solid surface formica. Looks like granite but without the GIANT price tag.
Here is before...my UGLY green countertops
They were old butcherblock formica that were WORN OUT!
So, several years ago, I decided I would paint them. And it was a good
fix...for awhile. About 2 yrs ago I painted my UGLY cabinets this
dark red. Yes...it looks hideous with the green
countertops, but my plans for new countertops have been
in the works for sometime now.
The Demolition process. Removing the sink first. It turned out
to be a challenge due to our water softner/reverse osmosis
system. Oh yea, and work space the size of a matchbox!
ZB wiping down the tile...I think. DH observing the
Giant mess we're making! It was a little weird being
without countertops for a day.
I wasn't able to be home the day they installed, so therefore,
there are NO during pics. This is what I came home to after work.
I was immediately H*A*P*P*Y
Aaahhh...they new faucet. That's a whole other story all
by itself. I don't want to go there. We decided to install ourselves
so that we could save money. Yea, well, it would have probably
been cheaper to have them do it! LOL
I Love Love Love my new sink and faucet. My sinks are
deep and wide, I can set a pan down to soak and I am glad.
The kitchen...back to normal. Stuff on the counters and stuff
everywhere. Welcome to my kitchen. I loved seeing the countertops all bare.
It was so "neat" looking to me, but it was not "real" :)
This is a close up of the countertop...it's much lighter in this picture than
it is in "real" life. Its base color is almost an oatmeal color
with dark brown, black and white flecks. But you can get the idea.
I love how my kitchen has come together, it has been a years in progress project. First the
ceramic tile floor about 8-9 yrs ago, then the painting of the cabinets and new
hardware 2 yrs ago and now...the new countertop.
Finally...my vision is complete!
It is good to be back fellow bloggers...I missed reading and hearing from everyone of you. I pray you have a blessing filled week!!

Your kitchen redo sounds exactly like the way ours is going - ome project at a time! I even have ugly green countertops that I don't like. My sink is WAY too shallow so I'd love a new one . . . some day!!
Can I ask you how you painted your countertops? I'm nowhere near close to being able to replace ours!
Oh my goodness...I LOVE your new countertops!! Looks great with your painted cabinets! Makes me want to do mine. Our kitchen really is the size of a match-box though!!
