Bathroom Counter top Remodel for $30!
I was tired of my old bathroom counter top being drab! I wanted a face lift but didn't want to pay a ton to do it. I knew I could utilize some things I knew how to do and also some of the things I have seen on Pinterest. So I gave it a go!
I cleaned the surface of my counter top really good and dried it. Then I bought a small paint tray and foam brush from the dollar store and rolled on the latex primer.
After the primer dried I made a bottom main color using the acrylic paints till desired color and rolled that over top of the primer. Then I took the acrylic paints I had at home and a piece of an old shirt for a rag and dabbed each color over the surface. I started with the darkest and worked up to the lightest and then did it again until all the base color was mostly covered.
After that dried I painted on the polycrylic. I did 4 coats after each one had dried thoroughly. Makes sure you coat every inch even the sides of the counter top!
