Inexpensive options for beautiful Countertops!

It doesn't always need to be expensive!

I wanted to give a few examples of inexpensive options for beautiful countertops. ...»

Here are three that we have done recently.

The first is a reclaimed top that was on its way to the dump. We refinished it and added it to an antique dresser base to make an island in our kitchen.

The second option is high gloss Laminate... by using a squared off edge instead of the rounded edge we were able to get an appearance more like granite. The example I am showing is also from our kitchen.

Option three is porcelain floor tile.

I recently redid my parents kitchen and used 12"x24" floor tiles for countertop. The surface must be prepped properly and be level. It turned out beautifully. Using large tiles minimizes grout lines. I used a grout very close to the tile colour. We only needed 16 tiles for the whole project.

  • Wall consists of multi colored tissue paper layered over each other. need to clean it up and start fresh

Cleaning & Organization: Where do I start on a wall of tissue paper?

Buying a house with someone else's creative touch can be risky!

The entire wall consists of small pieces of blue, white & green tissue paper layered on top of each other.

How do I start to peel this off?

Does "Dif" work to peel this off my wall.

I'm a little more beige &

just want a clean wall to paint....Thanks in advance!

  • my pink & black bathroom. ugh, help!

Painting: Can I paint over bathroom tile and have it look good?

My 2 bathrooms are horrendous. One is black & pink the other has issues all its own.

I'd love to paint the pink & black bathroom as a cheaper option while I renovate the other. Is it going to look terrible or can it really be a project worth getting into??
