If they are solid wood tops, then sand them down and stain or paint. If they are just that laminated plasterboard stuff which is 9/10 of countertops, you may have to replace them all together. Check at Lowe’s or Home Depot to be sure. Sounds like you are going to have an awesome kitchen when you are done. Take pictures now and when you are finished to show us all. sandy :O) It depends on what they are made out of. If they are solid wood tops, then sand them down and stain or paint.

This can be glued onto kitched worktops to give a new surface and appearance. You can buy sheet laminate in a different pattern which is flexible enough to mould around curved edges.

They have awesome designs and the work is sooo much more easier. I’ve attempted this myself and resurfaced all the tops — please trust me it is soooo worth it to by a new top at the home depot.
