Once the plumbing project was complete in the garage, I decided that I had to do something with the countertops. When we first moved in, the cabinet area in the garage was an eyesore. It was not only dated but had water damage as well. I had seriously thought about replacing the whole unit until I realized that it would cost thousands of dollars. I couldn't justify that for a garage. Plus, the cabinets, countertop and sink were extremely functional.
With replacement out of the question, I decided to work on making the area more cosmetically pleasing instead. First, I painted the cabinets white. Then, I fixed one of the cabinet doors that would not hang correctly. Next, I decorated the front of each cabinet doors to represent our four children. Finally, I painted the dated yellow sink white and covered the water damage on the end cabinet with white adhesive wallpaper. With the sink now having a new faucet, there was only one item left to update, the countertop.
Replacing the countertop was never an option because of the cost. Instead, I decided that I would try and cover it with an adhesive wallpaper like the one that I had used on the cabinet. I was a little bit skeptical that it would work and look nice, but after reading multiple reviews on Amazon, I decided to try it. It took me several hours, but in the end, it was totally worth it. It did not look like granite as the reviews stated, but it definitely looked a lot better. Doug wasn't sure about the project when I started, but he was impressed in the difference. I would never use this project in the house as it could not compare with a real countertop remodel, but for the garage, it was perfect.
