Good end to a really rough week

I had a really rough week this week. I have had to deal with work issues, family issues, and just plain being p busy. Today's painting project just about made up for it. 

My husband and I painted my kitchen counter tops. We have been putting it off for awhile, so last week, I just put this little chore on our calendar. I am amazed at how nice they look! I used the Rustoleum counter paint along with some acrylic to create a stone like finish. Now, the counters must cure for 3 days. That is going to be the hard part! I can't imagine NOT using the counter tops in my kitchen for 3 whole days! 

We are not sure what we want to do with the back splash, so we left it alone for now. I am thinking that I will use something copper there. The cabinets will be off white, but we won't get to that until school is out. They have been cleaned out and reorganized, so they are ready to go! 

It's amazing how accomplishing this little task helped to take my mind off of all that ailed me this week. It just doesn't seem important now. The next time I am feeling down in the dumps I am going to pick up a paint brush and get to work!
