Paint it! Another option is to leave as is and place photos, postcards or any flat mometos and have a piece of tempered glass cut to fit and place on top. Then you can change at any time you wish.

Formica top? You have many options. You can paint formica, you could remove it or go over it with contact paper. You could even turn it into a buffet or kitchen island. you could even decoupage the top or stencil it. There are many many options. It all depends on what you want your end result to be.
I've painted a laminate counter to resemble granite. Simply paint the laminate with a gripper primer. Then using acrylic paints from the craft store, sponge paint 3 or 4 colors until you find the look you want. Then seal it with a couple coats of polycrylic.

You could decoupage the top using wrapping paper or pretty napkins, then paint the rest in a complimentary chalk paint
Farmhousepaint.com adheres to almost everything. I just paint over it with this paint and it never chips or peels.
