apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Hmmm... interesting. We're about to move into a home with really ugly tile countertops. The tiles are not to my liking to begin with, but the grout is just hideous. Since our countertop is small, I bet we could cover the whole thing with one 4x8 sheet. I just wonder about attaching it to the tiles...?

wasn't this just posted? uh oh!

woah, it freaks me out that there is carpet in that kitchen.

Enamorada - agreed. I guess "We're" having some short term memory issues today.

lol amt...glad "we" cleared that up for ourselves

AQ--

There's carpet in that kitchen because it's a motorcoach conversion created from a vintage schoolbus.

Hmm. Would love to hear from anyone who has used this.

1/4" plywood? Um...it wouldn't matter how well one sealed it, it would be almost guaranteed to buckle and warp in very short term. It wouldn't even take a major spill and leakage--just changes in temperature and condensation of moisture in the atmosphere would be enough to do it.

There is no way in the world I would do this. It looks like a giant cutting board just waiting to soak up the germy cooking juices.

I love hardwood counter tops, but I'm also concerned about the durability of plywood counters.
