Update to my Ikea Update

I am obsessed, but finally I got the look I wanted!  The last product I used was Thompson's Liquid Stainless Steel, over the Krylon Stainless Steel appliance paint.

Here we go:


It is now brighter and shinier than before - this matches the real stainless in my sink almost perfectly.


Here you can see the brush strokes - what I love about real stainless steel.


How many girls can claim they have a towel rack gorilla glued to their clothes dryer?  
My dryer is now a decorative element ;)


I love my tiny home.





Disclaimer:  The info on my Thompson's package said this is not for food prep areas.  I am ok with that, I think they have to cover their posterior derrieres.  I will not be rubbing any slabs of steak around on the counter top, I guess.  The interesting thing is that the top coat is the same as the topcoat that they use in the faux granite applications.

Wow, that looks really good - I can't believe how well it matches the sink!!! All in all, a really great space - very well thought out.

Well, it looks fantastic! Could I paint my dishwasher with this? How about my range top? My oven?

It looks brilliant! I think all your prep work paid off. The finish is superb. I'm so glad you kept going until you got the look you really wanted.

WOW!!!! If I didn't already live in a small house, I'd be converted to wanting to after seeing pics of your house. Love it!!

Oh, and btw...Your lipgloss probably kept you alive in the jungle because the bugs STICK to it like glue, and you were getting life sustaining protein AND bug juice (a liquid) whenever you licked your lips.
