DIY Gypsy Kitchen Countertop

So, we have yet to decide on the awesome countertop that is to be installed in our new kitchen (and figure out how to pay for it!). In an effort to move on from the plywood base without getting anything permanent, I used an awesome JoAnn's 40% coupon and installed this!
Marine Vinyl!! I got the entire 96" cut for $20. Awesome right?
I used push pin brads to 'Country' it up a bit.
Start in the middle and pull the vinyl taut, not tight, because it will pull at the pins if you pull it tight.
On the sitting side, I stapled it to the underside so the it wraps around.
So far, with 3 boys and a gaggle of friends coming over for the summer, it's holding up well!
What do you think?
