Paint Stick Counter Top and Back Splash

by Jeanine

5 Materials

Paint stick counter top and back splash takes time and layering but worth it. Took old Formica out. Cut paint sticks ( thinner ones work best). Laid down like a puzzle. Wood glued each. Let sit 12 hrs. Sanded. Stained with 3 different kinds in odd rows and blended. Polly 2x's. Back splash the same steps but painted white ( hint use mini staples to keep up on black splash. To finish up painted cabinets white whisper and replaced all the hardware. Total cost under $75 including stain, wood glue and box paint sticks.
Pulled off old Formica and sanded off old glue.

Looks really great, very fresh. When you say paint sticks are you meaning paint stir sticks?
