Countertops - Phase One

So in an effort to save some money, yet have a pretty home, I am painting our nasty, fake "butchertop" countertops. My dad bought me the Giani Countertop Paint kit, and today I finally had the time to try it out! I was incredibly NERVOUS at first. This is not exactly my forte!

I didn't exactly dress up for the occasion. haha

Step One: Clear off the countertops.

Step Two: Clean them VERY well.

Step Three: Remove any gross caulk.

(Which means I have to repaint the wall now.... grrrrr....)

Step Four: Re-caulk (after going to Lowe's and trying to figure out the dumb caulking gun which resulted in a call to my dad.)

Step Whatever: Tape

AND NOW - I'm ready to go!!!

My heart was racing.

No turning back now.

Half-way there.

Finished with Phase One!!!

Yikes! Tomorrow, I'll make it look like granite. Well, that's the plan anyways.
