I know you guys have been waiting forever for the final results. You were probably able to tell a few things from the previous post but I wanted to share the final photos here with you all of the beautiful countertops. I love them so much. I can take a photo anywhere on my counter and it turns out beautiful. Before, not only did I have such an ugly baby blue thing going, there were also stains in them that were there before I ever moved in. I had to carefully pick ‘the best’ spot on my counter to take a food photo. Now I’m comfortable with the entire kitchen that I can take photos anywhere and not worry about the ugly background.
Another thing I love about the hd laminate countertops is the cleanup. There was some mustard by our toaster that I guess I didn’t see, and clearly dried. I didn’t have to spray it with cleaner or anything, just used a warm damp cloth and viola, it came off. I’m finding that all the messes we are making are coming off that easy. Honestly, there’s just something about the beauty in them that makes me enjoy being the kitchen now. I feel so grownup in a sense, and just happy and even sophisticated. Who would have thought that something like that would make such a difference? Mind you, the new cabinets are absolutely fabulous of course. It’s so nice to have working drawers, and more than the previous 4 I had but I try to imagine my kitchen with JUST new countertops and while it may not have been this pretty, it would have indeed made a huge difference in the look and feel of the kitchen.
As you can see, the beveled edging turned out beautiful and each and every spot of the countertop is just beautiful. I feel like it my kitchen looks much lighter and brighter now vs dark and gloomy. And thank gawd I don’t have to look at that ugly blue anymore that was full of stains before we moved in.
So here’s the final before and after photos you’ve been waiting for. There’s still a few more things we want to do but you can the differences.
In full disclosure, Wilsonart provided and paid for the cabinets, countertops, sink, and installation. I’m just not even sure how to thank them properly. I feel like hugs are in order. It’s such a wonderful gift to me and my family and our home. I plan to follow up with updates on the coutertops as to how they are holding up and if whether or not I’ve come across any stains that I couldn’t get out. Just remember that every time you see a food photo or kitchen gadget photo here at mywoodenspoon.com, chances are, the beautiful background will be the countertops that Wilsonart made possible. They are affordable, beautiful, durable, and truly give you a feeling of happiness………..
Absolutely stunning!!!!!!!!! I love it!!
Wow, it’s just stunning … no other word for it.
What a transformation… It’s just beautiful!
absolutely gorgeous!! You are right about your kitchen looking much brighter! Congrats and enjoy!!
Lori, it looks absolutely incredible! It really does look so light, bright and modern! Love, love, love it!
Lori – it’s beautiful! How exciting for you!
Wow they look amazing! I would love to have that in my ugly kitchen! I think it would give it new life. :)
How gorgeous! It makes me glance over at our kitchen that was remodeled a few years before we purchased this house, and how whoever installed the ceramic tile floor didn’t start from the center so it’s all off and crooked. How exciting to have a beautiful and easy to care for kitchen!
Wow – gorgeous countertops! That is the reason I don’t take food photos – there is so little space and what space there is was ruined before we moved in. That is such an amazing offer from Wilsonart, and the finished work looks fantastic. I love the beveled edge!
WOW! Just…WOW! STUNNING! I love your kitchen and you’re making me jealous! Everything is beautiful! I hope one day I can have a kitchen I can be proud of and want to be in/cook in! lol
OOHH!! I love it! I know you will enjoy it for years to come. Congratulations :)
Lori, your kitchen is just stunning. I am truly happy for you! Enjoy your beautiful new workspace. You deserve it.
Amy
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!!
GORGEOUS — our kitchen is in DIRE need of a makeover; we’ve been pricing countertops. I need to show Hubby these pics so he can see how the laminate turned out.
Wow, that looks a heck of a lot better. I love the beveled edging on the counter tops.
Wow. The kitchen looks awesome!
Looks fab!
WOW that looks beautiful! They did an awesome job. We so need a kitchen makeover, we’re too young to have a kitchen that looks older than we are LOL
Gorgeous! The backsplash really gives it a finishing touch. Thanks for sharing, and happy cooking in your new kitchen.
WOW Lori! That’s awesome. Wilsonart did a fabulous job!!
It looks great! I’m sure you’re sooo excited! Now you need to make some banana pudding in your new kitchen! :)

Your kitchen looks wonderful! What a nice thing for Wilsonart to do for your family.
How beautiful! I’d love to be able to do mine in the future-that looks gorgeous!
Oh my goodness, BEAUTIFUL!!!
Your kitchen looks beautiful! We are working on a full renovation of our home – we just wrapped up the bathroom, and the kitchen is next. It will be total makeover, so we’ll be adding more counter space also – so I will keep this company in mind.
Love how your kitchen turned out. My two favorite parts: how the back splash goes all the way up to the bottom of your top cabinets and the cooking island – it looks fabulous I sooooo wish I had one! ;D
Wow! That is just amazing! I love, love, LOVE it!! Congrats on such a beautiful, functional, NEW space!
Wow, it looks beautiful! We are actually purchasing our first house and it needs new cabinets and countertops. It’s great to receive recommendations from people you trust and see the transformation before our eyes!
Wow Lori that is BEAUTIFUL!
Oh my Lori! it is absolutely gorgeous. I literally followed your transformation thru your posts and I think it came out awesome. I myself am in need of a kitchen makeover everything from appliances to cabinets and countertops. Everthing we have is very old and outdated. I love to cook so it gets very depressing trying to cook in there, lol.
But Love your new look, you lucky gal!
I think they did a fantastic job. It looks beautiful and I know you must be so proud!
WOW, that about sums it up LOL
I think it actually looks better than I imagined it would. Can’t wait to see what you can cook up in there now to share (always thinking of your readers, huh? LOL)
Wow, breathtaking! I totally agree on not minding to take pictures. Beautiful makeover!!!
Looks fantastic! I’m jealous.
How gorgeous it looks! They did a phenomenal job!
What a pretty kitchen you have now. Wow.
It’s just beautiful! I’m so happy for you!
Just GORGEOUS!
There is really nothing to say. It’s an unbelievable makeover. Just in time for the holidays! I’m jealous. :(
Love they way you used the counter tops as a backsplash, I really love that!
