Super Easy and Cheap Counter top makeover that will give new life to your kitchen for less than $60
My Ugly green, scratched and marked up counter top was really dragging down my kitchen. I neede to find a cheap fix for this problem.
I tapped off the counter top with painters tape. and gave it a go. I cleaned it really well with vinegar and water and began my journey.
Then I primed it and used a couple different colors of arcylic paints the cheap ones you find at the dollar store or craft store. I used a sponge to randomly press the colors on one at a time.
Then I used a polycrylic sealer and added 5 coats until the shine and protection was the way i wanted it.
I couldnt be hapier with how this project turned out. If you want a more detailed walk through of this Project please check out my website www.asparklymess.com
