Instead of a paint, she opted for a gray stain, to keep with the farm house appearance; however, if you feel that would be more appropriate for your kitchen then please go ahead and paint.
DIY Concrete Countertops
Laying on top of the countertops can be incredibly beneficial if you want to upgrade your old laminate and make it much more sturdy.

DIY Subway Tile Backsplash
Whether or not subway tile is still trendy depends on the home design community, or any other field and specialised home decoration discussion. It is thus our opinion that this type of tile will always remain popular, not only because of their relatively unassuming form but also because the abundance of sizes, colours and even materials that can be used to create these tiles. For this tutorial the resident DIYer painted the subway tiles with the most basic color available, white. This will help their kitchen look clean and simple so as to add some flavor and style. It is important since the color of the grout is a dark warm gray which complements the dark gray countertops that add more of an industrial feel to the kitchen setting.
This particular project is very uncomplicated; however, it can only be performed at an intermediate level. After installing the tiles is pretty simple but cutting the tiles around outlets and edges entails some expertise with a wet saw and measuring. When all the tiles have been distributed and grouted they have to be left to dry before the last sealer can be applied. It does remove any color from the sealer and it does need to be reapplied at least once per year to help keep the grout from discoloring and breaking down.
