CRAFTING & DIY

Sick of your countertops but don’t want to pay thousands for a new countertop? Learn how you can paint kitchen countertops and get a beautiful stone look with professional results!

I knew that I’d eventually want to do a full kitchen renovation once we could, so replacing the countertops wasn’t going to be an option.

So… I set out and did my research, tested a few techniques and products, and came up with this surprisingly easy way to paint kitchen cabinets without a kit or epoxy!

Materials

• Plastic Gloves • Sanding Deglosser • Scrubbing Sponge • Paper Towel   • Brush

1

Pick your colors! You’re going to want a base color and then 2-3 more colors that will make up the various “specs” and “veining” in the countertop!

2

Remove everything from your countertops. Your counertops will need to be empty for 1-2 days so make sure to find a good place to relocate things to.

3

Apply painter's tape along the edges of your counter (like where your counter meets the backsplash).

4

Cover your floors or bottom cabinets if you feel you need to. You can use drop cloths for this but if you don’t have any, garbage bags work wonders too!

5

Degloss your countertops! This is an important step in preparing your countertops to paint.
