Kitchen Countertops Make-over

About 2 weekends ago, while I hiked the Grand Canyon with my dad, Rob spent the weekend redoing my parents kitchen countertops. It was July (last year) when I helped my parents paint their kitchen cabinets. My parents have lived in their home for 32 years and thus their countertops have the wear and tear of 32 years old. The countertops were a butcher block laminate, which my mom loved, and was reluctant to have them changed. All the hours of work were really worth the final results, the countertops look amazing. My parents love their new countertops - I do too! The kitchen was out of service for about 4 days, which made for alternative homecooked meals out on my parents deck - somehow we still ate great food. Thanks mom! Rob has done a couple countertops in Page, and has gotten some good response on them, which always makes ya feel good. It was just really nice that Rob could do these countertops for my parents, they do so much for us.

The change is quite dramatic! Take a look:
