The Butcher Block Countertop Installation Experience
Well, that’s an SEO-laden title, isn’t it? :-p In a word: IT’S OVER. It was actually “not too bad.” The anxiety leading up to it was INTENSE, however. I am so glad it’s over. Of course, I have a small 4-foot area to do on the other side, and an island to build with the [...]

WE GOT THE FIRST SECTION OF CABINETS INSTALLED!!!! Woohoooo!!! This is a monumental day. Thanks to some VERY cool dudes who are swift with measuring tapes and miter saws, my kitchen is– for the first time in a decade— looking like a KITCHEN! I’ll have photos and more gory details later. I am currently in [...]

I was flipping through my latest free magazine from Lowe’s, Creative Ideas, and spotted an advertisement for “Countertop Transformations.” This stuff is amazing! It’s an epoxy/colored chip/epoxy resin-type coating for your existing laminate countertop. It’s called Countertop Transformations; Lowe’s sells it for $250 a kit.

:) I’m a married mom of four teenage children. We live in Upstate New York. We bought an old 1855 home and acre property, over 10 years ago. We've been in the slow, agonizing process of living in the home while (trying) to renovate it. When I'm not renovating, I'm a freelance writer and blogger. You can check out my other blogs here.
We've learned to dig a French drain, plant huge flower and vegetable gardens, wire a circuit panel, install furnace ducting, understand the enigmatic complexities of the plumbing system, and more. It's been *quite* the adventure.
You can read more about us here, read up on the history of the home, and read about what we've renovated so far. Thanks for visiting!
