Under the paint they are those ugly cream laminte counter tops...I also redid the cabinets two years ago using cabinet paint from our local paint shop. I did my entire kitchen cabinets and tops for a total of 120.00. That included new knobs of the cabinets. (I had to make holes in the cabinets since they did not have handles. I just redid my countertop in the bathroom since I love the stone look in my kitchen. It was only 14.00...looks good and I will spend the money that I saved from buying new countertops on something else...hmmm fabric...LOL - I have pictures on my blog.

I've been wanting to re-do the counters in our bathrooms, they are formica, very bland. Will this method work on them? My B-I-L, who is a retired painter, is going to strip all the old, outdated wallpaper, so I'll wait until after he's done. thanks for your help.
