  • This was the countertops BEFORE.... yup hunter green formica with fancy wood trim.  LOL
  • And here is the AFTER!  I did a lot of research with regards to technique and such.  And being a cancer survivor, I wanted to make sure all the products I used were non-toxic and safe.  I was blown away by the results! 18

I painted my ugly formica counters to look like faux granite!

I recently removed wallpaper in my kitchen and painted the walls and really loved the new look. But I was stuck with these ugly hunter green formica countertops with wood trim! UGH. So ...»

Hearth Room

A recent update of our hearth room.

A small table with four chairs and a vintage secretary were replaced with a sofa, ottoman ...»

and club chair.

The wall color is Sherwin Williams Sticks and Stones.

The flooring is ceramic from Mohawk.

Rug is a hand knotted Soumac.

Curtains were purchased at Pottery Barn a couple of years ago. I don't believe they are available from PB, at this time.
