My first apartment had red kitchen counters just like this before bathroom. Did they add a dash of “whimsy” and “fun” to my kitchen? No. They brought shame. Red counters are just not ok, unless they are installed in a preschool or at the pediatrician’s, or maybe at the front office of the circus.
Rachel felt the same, and thus took a sledgehammer to the red counters and just about everything else in her old bathroom. In only eight days she had transformed it into the serene and spa-like space it is today. Lots more to see on her cute blog First Home Makeover.

September 3, 2010 at 12:37 AMGotta disagree w/you on this one. Nothing, NOTHING is worse than same-ol’, lemming-grade, Stepford-Wife granite countertops. Nothing.
I want a red countertop in my kitchen. Bathroom? Not so much.

September 3, 2010 at 1:31 AMWow! I am so impressed! It’s like a whole new bathroom. I agree that the red countertop HAD to go. I bet this reno was a lot of work, but it certainly paid off.

September 3, 2010 at 3:26 PMGreat Job!!! My daughter(age 19) wants to paint her room red – seeing this will hopefully remove her desire. I think we will paint it a tan & use red accents. It will be much easier to change colors in six months when she tires of red.
