Faux granite 80’s countertops needed to go.
What better countertops to add to our farmhouse than wood countertops. Decided to use click lock flooring for the counters. Butcher block was out of our price range. The island was also way too narrow. We added another 2 feet to the back side, using plywood as the base, for extra seating.
I learned a valuable lesson with this project…. I had a honey color stain in mind for these countertops. So I grabbed minwax gunstock stain. The color on the can looked about right. Always perform a test on a scrap piece of wood before staining the whole project!
We’re far from finished but it’s a good start 🌟 Total cost of wood/stain/glue for the island top was about $250. Sink was purchased from Lowe’s for $150. The faucet was purchased on Amazon. It’s a Delta faucet that brand new costs about $300, but because we got it from the used section was only $90! 😃
