You might find something that will work with yours. I have also seen paint to cover laminate countertops. I saw some at Lowes today, then you could match the laminate if you were not happy with the color of the laminate countertops.<br /><br />I have followed your blog for a few months now and I enjoy visiting your with you Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14528345609970108633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795775338942020284.post-78936993857034779892010-09-09T16:23:43.530-04:002010-09-09T16:23:43.530-04:00Hey There!

Yes I would remove the rest of the laminate pieces and with your talent I know you can come up with something in the place of it. Maybe some sort of stained filler like they use on repairing walls.

Maybe chip a little piece off for a color match, or be brave and pick a piece that is a little contrasting... then it just glues on. Or, maybe paint it? The edges would be uneven, but the eye should just glide right by it. I painted panelling like that in my other house, and it made such a difference! It lightened everything up, but boy, did it Lee Weberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10478757698235769370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795775338942020284.post-68133610547528258202010-09-09T08:10:26.133-04:002010-09-09T08:10:26.133-04:00Dawn, a piece of wood trim all around the edges of...Dawn, a piece of wood trim all around the edges of your counters would add a special touch! Maybe fluted trim? Or something carved? Painted white and stained? It will hide the missing piece and add a custom touch to the whole kitchen very inexpensively.
