My best friend is super-handy and she tells me I can do it.

The other thing you could do it put a sheet of plywood over the top (the same dimensions as the top of the wall now) and tile it. (Here is an idea: http://www.everyfinehome.com/kitchen-tile-counter-top-design-with-furniture-concept/kitchen-tile-counter-top-design-4/). It's really easy to tile if you haven't done it before, and that small of an area would be really inexpensive. I'd go with a larger stone tile, maybe use only three, and tile the edge of the top as well, about an inch down. (If that makes sense.) <br /><br />Can't wait to see what you do!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04967036443580250272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762626668776711100.post-82798884939351264612012-05-29T17:25:10.769-05:002012-05-29T17:25:10.769-05:00Oh, we're here for the long haul. :) Just gett...Oh, we're here for the long haul. :) Just getting tired of tripping over each other in our current house and thinking of spreading our wings in a slightly larger model!courtney - larking.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08226125721814127732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762626668776711100.post-41250104116175002662012-05-29T16:33:39.549-05:002012-05-29T16:33:39.549-05:00Not that it was any BIG project, but I did this li...Not that it was any BIG project, but I did this little DIY over the weekend: http://pinterest.com/pin/138626494750420570/<br />And... does looking for a new house mean elsewhere in the city, or leaving the area?robynhttp://www.robayre.com/newsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762626668776711100.post-15841747470984768562012-05-29T15:56:37.893-05:002012-05-29T15:56:37.893-05:00I've considered it, Laura, but I'm still n...I've considered it, Laura, but I'm still not sure what to do with the hole!courtney - larking.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08226125721814127732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762626668776711100.post-27588808748117189162012-05-29T14:13:44.560-05:002012-05-29T14:13:44.560-05:00If you aren't ready to tackle buying, cutting,...If you aren't ready to tackle buying, cutting, and adhering granite, what about just painting the half wall white? I think that would go a long way towards updating it. I understand this may be opening a can of worms if you then feel obliged to paint all your trim in the room/house white. But it would make such a dramatic impact and requires very little skill.Laura W.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762626668776711100.post-13616863026492789602012-05-29T12:22:12.544-05:002012-05-29T12:22:12.544-05:00Oh wow...that's a pretty awesome wall! lol!
