Thanks so much! This is wonderful information for those of us who are not good at looking at something and seeing the potential. Our sink is cracking so the top of our vanity needs to be replaced, but I love the ideas and the pictures for updating the cabinets. Thanks!

Thank you! For the budget I had, the stone paint went over laminate pretty well. The only thing I would probably have done differently is probably sand the laminate down more before spray painting it and perhaps prime it first.

The rust easily comes out with “The Works” toilet bowl cleaner. They always have a tub and shower cleaner but the toilet bowl cleaner is much more potent.

thats amazing. Did you do anything special for the sink? I see rust and just wondered how you get rid of it or camouflage it.

Impressive. I have an old ugly vanity covered by laminate from 1976.I am looking to refurbish the bathrooms and stain the vanity. But the top is just plain hideous. If you could do it over again would you strip the laminate off somehow? Then would you use the stone paint?

That is an impressive DIY makeover!! I did not realise it was the same unit until I read the first comment. DIY Claire’s latest blog post: 'More imaginative approach' being taken to DIY

We used this spray paint. It is a kind of rough stone texture, but not too bad. It might not be the IDEAL choice; however, we were mainly concerned about covering up the old ugly laminate and we couldn’t afford to just replace it. So it’s kind of a band-aid for the counter part of the project at least.

I love the vanity! I can’t believe anyone would tell you to throw that charming thing out! Great makeover. So the spray paint top, what kind of texture is that? I guess the only stone paints I’ve ever used had a rough texture, which I would think would be hard to clean.
