DIY Counter Corbels

6:00:00 AM

I love the look of corbels...

I especially like the ones under kitchen counter tops.

I've had my eye out for some for a while and the other day

I found this ugly brown pair at a garage sale and quickly got to work painting them black to match my counter tops.

Next step was a little distressing...

and then I mounted them under my counter top.

I think they look great and add a lot of character to the kitchen!
What do you think?

I love to repurpose cast-offs into one of a kind treasures. I like to think outside of the box and I hope to bring a new creative perspective to others.

I love that look, Susan! If I had a counter top like that I would do the same thing. How great that you find them at a garage sale, too.

Ohhhh oh! They are gorgeous! Someday, when I own my own countertops (rather than renting them!), I would love to have something like this. You did such a nice job - thanks for sharing!

Swing by my blog to see how to make healthy ice cream - no ice cream maker required!!
