New Bathroom Countertops

6 shares

  • Tweet

Back in March I shared that we were getting new Formica® Laminate countertops in our master and guest bathrooms. Last week the countertops were installed, and then we spent the rest of the week installing the new sinks and faucets.

For reference, here’s what our master bathroom vanity looked like before.

We had pretty plain, laminate countertops and chrome faucets that came with the house when we bought it 6 years ago.

And here’s what the master bathroom vanity looks like now.

Much better, right?

Since the installers pulled out the entire countertop, we had to install new sinks and faucets. So we purchased some drop in sinks from Lowe’s. I won the faucets in a giveaway a couple years ago. They’ve been in our garage collecting dust because I wanted to wait until the countertops were updated to install the faucets.

The pattern I chose was Crème Lacquered Linen from the Formica® Laminate Jonathan Adler Collection. I like how it’s modern and simple but there’s texture for visual interest. Check out all the patterns Formica® Laminate has to offer and get a free sample here.

I think the Crème Lacquered Linen is perfect if you’re looking for something neutral that isn’t a stone pattern.

The faucets are by Moen– the Ashville collection in brushed nickel.

Then there was our guest bathroom. Same boring countertops as the master bathroom countertops. The seam on the side splash always bugged me. I hated the seam in general and how it was taller than the backsplash. It just looked like it was thrown together. And I wasn’t a big fan of the faucet either.

Now it looks so much better and like a custom job.

We chose for both countertops, an edge of the product that was post-formed for a clean, seamless look.

We installed the same drop in sinks that we used in the master bathroom and a new faucet. Although I didn’t win this one so I purchased it at Lowe’s. It’s by Delta– the Lorain collection in brushed nickel.

My next plan is to stain the vanities, well, at least the master bath vanity. The darker vanity will really make the new countertops pop with more contrast. And I need to update both vanities with hardware.

Want to enjoy a new Formica® Laminate countertop as well? Today we’re giving away a $100 Lowe’s gift card to get your project started!
To enter for a chance to win, just let me know what you think of the new countertops.

    The linen, blue and silver really go well together. Very clean look. I wonder what other patterns they have. I’m interested to see how you stain the wood. I think we have the exact same cabinets.

    Love the new laminate! I can’t believe how good laminate looks now. We live in a little starter ranch a lot like yours, so we have all laminate countertops too. The kitchen and guest bath aren’t bad, in fact I actually like them! What I hate is our master countertop. I don’t know why- it’s just plain white but it drives me nuts! And also it shows every hair, spec of dirt, drop of makeup… Sheesh.

    I love these! I don’t know that I’ve seen many countertops with a pattern other than stone, and they look really nice. With 2 kids under three, I’m totally down for laminate countertops! They’re so easy! And I’d love that gift card, because I’m currently saving to replace my kitchen countertops after my (darling) husband burnt a ring in them with a boiling pot of green beans.

    P.s. I’ve really been enjoying the podcast!

    I love how you update your house with small changes that create a HUGE difference. You’re right when you say you don’t live in a “granite countertop” house. I feel the same way about mine and as we do updates I try to keep that in mind so we don’t overspend and make bigger upgrades than necessary.

    I have to say I’ve never seen that color vanity top. Nice choice. I am also in the middle of redoing my main bath. Little by little right?

    Your countertops look great. The style you picked out is nice because its shows some texture and is neutral enough to look good with almost any style of bathroom and its not an “in your face” bold pattern.

    It’s very nice. I like how the new Formica countertops are rounded to look like stone.

    I think staining your existing cabinets is a great idea! It’s a great frugal change.

    Darker vanity is pleasing. Do go for it. The aesthetic totally flourishes with it. The contrast and the vibrancy are enhanced.
