Consider all the money you saved on your countertops…
It is worth your while investigating a new floor covering. Perhaps ceramic tile or a new laminate flooring to compliment your countertop. www.naturalhandyman.com is a wealth of information at your fingertips. You can ask questions, research products and learn ‘how to’ or find a professional near you. Alternatively, visit the remnant department of a carpet and tile warehouse. They often have end of line tile, linoleum or laminate at good sale prices.

If you are searching for a designer look on faucets and sinks in addition to finding new accessories for your bathroom or kitchen, www.kitchensource.com will take your kitchen or bathroom makeover to a level. You will be very surprised to see how much money you can save.
Paint those cabinets; even embellish them with glue on wooden carvings and motifs available at craft stores. Change the hardware, and think about removing doors altogether. Fill the screw holes, sand, prime and paint. Always use a good primer; oil based is best. It is low odor, dries within an hour and is durable. Do not forget to paint inside the cabinets! You will feel so much better opening a door to clean, organized cupboards. (Not to mention, when you empty them out, you will be forced to throw out all that stuff at the back that you never use.)
Add a soft faux finish to your walls that will compliment your faux granite countertops, or paint a solid color. Find a paint specifically designed for bathroom/kitchen walls as they are washable and more durable which is advisable using.
Do not get carried away with the faux finishing. If you decide to try a rag roll on your counter tops, a rag roll on the wall might be overpowering. Remember sometimes, “Less is more”. http://interiordec.about.com/cs/quicktips/qt/qtchoosecolor.htm
