Thinking of painting your countertops? We painted our and now that we've lived with them for a bit here are the initial thoughts. Would we do it again? In short yes, but you do have to be a little more delicate with how you treat them. • Standing water seems to cause a bubbling effect so you have to constantly wipe down every small drip. The bubble does go away and perhaps as the paint and seal cure even more this will remedy itself. Silicone mats on heavy traffic areas has been a lifesaver so far. It does well being wiped down and so far no stains even when sauce drips on it but I do wipe it quickly. I got silicone mats from Amazon for the highest traffic areas and that has made life immensely easier already. I wouldn't cut anything directly on the counter nor would I hop up and sit on it but then again that wasn't really something I did anyways. Short legs and low center of gravity and all. I'll update again soon after we've lived with them more so make sure you're following along @absolutely.alonda LTKhome LTKVideo LTKfindsunder50
