Countertops...CHECK!!!!

Well, apparently everyone has been eagerly awaiting pictures of our new-ish countertops.  As mentioned in my last blog, we bought Rustoleum Countertop Transformations in Onyx to refinish our very blue countertops.  It worked BEAUTIFULLY!  It did cause an absolute mess in our kitchen for a few days, but it was totally worth it in the long run.  I'm still in the 48 hour stage where you aren't allowed to use it, but come tomorrow, I can put "items weighing less than 5 pounds" on the countertop.  Come next Tuesday, I can put everything back and use it normally.  I'm so excited to have these.  The next steps in the kitchen process are to finish peeling wallpaper (this will be Saturday's task), texture, paint (lime green - top of the walls, bright white - bottom of the walls), refinish cabinets (it may be a while before we undertake that project), and replace hardware on cabinets.  It will look absolutely amazing, I'm sure.  So, I'll leave you with photos of before/during/after our transformation.  Enjoy!!!
