Sandi, believe me if I ever do get my "own" laptop I think a wireless mouse will be a necessity!
A friend loaned me a laptop from the local law library to use while I'm laid up and even though it's been a little frustrating it's been a lifesaver!
Thought I'd post before/after pictures of my painted countertops so you could see what a huge difference it made! The dark green counters had faded so much after 15 years and replacing them was not an option - $$$. I think the $50 kit to transform them is the best money I ever spent!
I thought I had better pics on my external hard drive but this still gives you a pretty good idea of the improvement. I think the "after" picture is the one I took to show the company the problems I was having with the their sealer streaking. After the fourth coat I finally got a smooth, streak-free finish.
Now that I've looked at the "after" I realize how bad they looked before I fixed them! Trust me, they look MUCH better now.
Another tip for anyone else who decides to try painting their countertops. One of the things I disliked with my paint job was the metallic splotches were too "in your face" and I wanted the tone muted a little. I made a 'wash', watered down the black paint and painted the whole surface one last time before sealing - it worked beautifully.
