This vision has been in my head since I first stepped foot into the Kitchenette of the Airbnb. I am excited to show you the almost final result of the kitchen countertop! The herringbone pattern is no joke and was definitely a tedious undertaking but it was well worth the end result! Let me know what you think! Thanks for watching!

Just a thought, how about using the herringbone pattern throughout the bnb as well as the colour choice? You have the herringbone wall hooks for the hallway so how about laying the sunroom floor with a herringbone pattern and using it on the bedroom feature wall (perhaps not the complete wall but partially) and perhaps somewhere on the stairs maybe in wall decoration or artwork.

I had a terrible time with my bathtub when I moved into my 1930 home. There was an excessive amount of calcium build-up. I started with BKF soft scrub then the powder, White vinegar, baking soda, then I remembered a trick using Mt Dew. I let it soak for 20 minutes and I saw large clumps of calcium float up. I still had a ring where the soda couldn't reach, and no amount of scrubbing would take it off. I thought I would have to live with it until I discovered Zep Toilet Cleaner that has an acid base and clings to the surface. I was so impressed that I have become a ZEP full-time user.

After cleaning, the drain part of the sink looks almost rose gold/copper and I was wondering if it might look really cool to spray paint that metal edge banding to match before reinstalling it and possibly find or paint the faucet to match as well? Those colors seem like they’d really compliment the wood tone.

This was such a great idea and it turned out looking amazing. I use these paint sticks often when I'm making dollhouse furniture and the one thing that helps me keep them all the right length size is by clamping a small piece of wood to the right side of the saw. This allows me to cut each piece the same size. I cut one butted up next to the clamped wood then each piece after the first piece goes butted up next to the same clamped wood making all the cuts will be exactly the same length. When my dad was alive he use to call this a stop block which ultimately makes all your cuts the same size in length. Just be sure you if you try this to cut slower to avoid the wood from kicking back or clamp a top wood guard on top of where the paint sticks slide over to the stop block wood.

Looks nice, but I doubt it will last with only poly. You really need to put something like a marine grade epoxy resin in an area where guests will be using water. The fact that you put water-based poly on will complicate using the resin. You will need to do extra surface prep to be sure you will get good adhesion between the poly and the resin, otherwise the resin will chip off.

I've been sitting through this debating if you're Braveheart brave or just completely nuts. I absolutely loved the idea of this. It's unique, creative, beautiful and extremely budget friendly, so this project is another one of your winners in my opinion. What kept me on the edge of my seat was your nonchalant attitude of "I've never done this or used that, but I've seen others do this so I thought I'd try it". Oh my gosh! After all of that tedious work of cutting all of those pieces and gluing them one by one onto the counter I would have froze in fear of trying anything new! I'd have been afraid of screwing it all up while cutting off the excess or not using a durable enough sealant or ruining the whole thing 100 different ways and then what? I have no doubt that I'd have worked myself into a fetal position on the floor in a panic attack! So, I just want to thank you for both your bravery and nuttiness so I can learn what works or doesn't without having to guess and drive myself crazy (it'd be a short drive) stressing over it. I'll have to look and see how well it's holding up over time now! I think I could maybe have the patience to do this on a bathroom counter, maybe.

I think it’s absolutely beautiful reminiscent of a butcher block top but even prettier.

Lauren, I so admire you. You are not afraid to try anything but you also do your research beforehand. I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos and you have inspired me to paint some furniture I have that needs some loving. Keep up your amazing work.

What a neat idea for a countertop. Your hardwork has paid off. It looks awesome. I can't wait to see it all put back together with the painted cabinets.

I do agree with Sherry that is a final thing one should use a boat varnish or boot sealer on it as it will get a lot of water coverage.

That countertop is time consuming, but shows your dedication to doing things right, not just fast! It's beautiful. I hope the finish protects it. You're a rockstar! I bet seeing little projects finished is encouraging to keep going!
