Bathroom countertop ?
I have builder grade square white tile on bathroom counters and tub walls. Since I can't rip everything out to put in solid surface any suggestions? It's so dated and just ugly.

Hello Linda,
I would use Tile Stickers or Covers, they come in many designs and colours including Turkish Tiles!
You can paint the tile with Rustoleum or Homax Tub and Tile paint.

You can also change the grout color with Mapei Grout Refresh. That stuff works wonders, has built in sealer. Amazon has more colors available but it you have a Floor and Decor near you they have several colors at half the price of Amazon.
You could add some pizazz by changing out the grout with something shiny or go elegant with a traditional color.
Perhaps you could try painting the tiles or try one of those peel and stick tiles to go over it.
Paint?
I agree with new paint and new grout with new colors that you love!

The countertop is more difficult. If you're crafty you can remove the top and replace it with wood. We did it in a day and for under $100.
