We can't afford to replace our old laminate countertop. Any suggestions or ideas on how to give it a make-over?

Oh my. Know the feeling but the solution isn't that easy. A friend used the special paint designed for laminate and after following instructions precisely had a good result. Just be prepared for the drying time delay, etc. Good luck.

I think it is Rustoleum that has a kit to re-do the countertops.

Before our kitchen renovation I repainted my old laminate counter top with a kit I bought at Walmart. When finished it resembled a rough stone like surface and looked great. However it took 2 full days of allowing 2 coats to dry, but so worth it! Good luck and let your creativity flow with this project!!!!

What about getting a collection of different tiles and tiling over your bench...this can look amazing.
