Replacing the counter top

Since arriving back in Florida from Cuba, I have not been idle. You have probably had enough of my Havana photos anyway, at least to get an  idea of the place. One thing I have been doing is replacing the counter top.  I put contact paper over the Formica 3 years ago, and lately it has been showing it's age. I looked at Corian but because I only had a small area to cover, it was out of the question. So I ended up getting a 4x8 sheet of laminate in exactly the same pattern as my contact paper.

Cutting out the pattern to fit was a bit of a challenge.

I was quite satisfied with the look in the end and it should be a lot more serviceable compared to the contact paper.
