New Countertops!

This project started as a $25 sink replacement.  Our old sink was badly stained, so we decided to replace it.  I found a porcelain/ cast iron sink for $25, so we thought we'd really done well on the cost of this project.  Upon removing the old sink, however, we discovered that the counter was rotten all the way around the sink opening.  Our old counters were in good condition otherwise, but they were pink!  Instead of buying a new matching countertop, we decided to replace all of them.

I was up until 2am doing the prep work the night before.

We saved the big box to use on the stairs as a slide.  They've had so much fun with this!

BEFORE:  This is the original picture we took when we were purchasing our house a few years ago.  Since then we've also painted, installed a dishwasher, added a 'new to us' microwave, purchased a new fridge, and replace the light fixtures.

AFTER: It's hard to tell the color difference because of the lighting, but those old counters were VERY pink. 

Our 'new to us' sink is great!  Not only is it high quality, but it's nice and deep.
