"Penny Lane Projects" (before & after)
I thought I'd start a segment on the projects I do in our new home (since there are so many I have planned). These are before and after photos of our kitchen sink. I would love to replace the sink all together and put in a deep farm sink but in the mean time this is what I did. I took 6 different patterns of scrapbook paper and cut them up into little squares. Then I placed them directly on the existing tile that surrounded the sink in a mosaic pattern using elmers glue. Once they were placed and the glue had dried I poured on my favorite 2 part resin (equal to 50 coats of varnish) and let it dry for 72 hours. Now this work space around the sink has a little more character and feels more like me.
I still want to change out the faucet fixture but this was the first step.
