Extreme Makeover Classroom Edition...THE COUNTERS!

Hey everyone! We hope you are getting some good ideas from our posts so far! Today we are talking about our classroom countertop makeover! (We know you already got a sneak peak of them in the pictures from our last post, but here are the deets!) Check out the before and after! Can you say MAJOR TRANSFORMATION?! We LOVE how they turned out!

Last year's makeover project was our chalkboard cupboards, and because we ran out of time to do our countertops, we had a little Halloween color scheme going on with our cute black cupboards and ORANGE counter tops! Ew! So...you better bet those bad boys were our first project this summer! If your countertops are needing some extra lovin' like ours:

Go to your local Lowes or HomeDepot and get the following supplies: 

This is the paint that we purchased for about $20 at Lowes. It is tintable to 16 different colors. We chose the "Light Ash" shade for ours. This Countertop Paint is SUPER durable, and you don't even have to do a primer before! We did 2 coats on our countertops to ensure full coverage.

We also purchased our rollers, trays, and roller covers at Lowes (they came in a little set for less than $6!) We also got some extra roller covers, which did come in handy!

AND...although this paint is AMAZING, it is SOOO potent! (No exaggeration...you could smell our rooms all throughout the school!) To prevent becoming high as a kite, you will need one (or more) of these:

Here are more pictures of the final product:
