Replacing laminate kitchen countertops?
Our kitchen countertop is in bad shape. The entire kitchen will need a full gut job, but that is at least 5 years away on the current budget and job list. We are planning on painting and cleaning up the drawers and cupboards (a job I've done before), but I really want to clean up these countertops. I bought some cheap peel and stick as a test on the island, and am not happy with the results. I wouldn't mind putting up a few hundred or more to just replace the countertops with some cheap laminate replacements. My main issue however is the largest run of the countertop is just over 10 feet to the longest point of a miter cut. This isn't something I'm finding looking at the budget big box store stuff. I don't want to replace a problematic countertop just to add an ugly fix with a big obvious cut down the middle by slapping two lengths together. Has anyone faced a similar conundrum? Is there any other obvious fix that I'm overlooking? Would love to hear any ideas at this point. submitted by /u/Anne_8788 [link] [comments]
