[@GrammyRose]

I can't believe how well it turned out!

[@michellecross6381]

This is the first video I have found that explained the entire process and mentioned the brands used. Thank you! Great job.

[@daniellezimmerman4182]

What product did you all use?

[@nancygibson4380]

I had my tub done professionally at a good price. I called the same lady and she wanted $300.00 per bathroom vanity top. I felt that was too much and you make it look doable. Ok, my next project by me. Thank you for easy step by step instructions. God bless your delivery and your family.

[@dalainebloom4505]

You did an AWESOME JOB!!! I have seen painted faux Marble counter tops and they never looked as good as Your’s does!! You did an excellent job!!! I have a small bit of marble on the vanity in my small bathroom. Your’s looks exactly like it! I love it! Thank You for sharing all of the products and techniques that You used. The others that I saw used feathers to make veining and it looked fake! Your technique with the tiny paint brush and following up with the softer large brush and rag made Your’s look real!! Excellent job.

[@garyscottt1443]

Something that I would have never thought that counter tops could be painted. Turned out great really brightens up the kitchen.

[@anneichenberger4970]

you did a fabulous job and truly transformed your kitchen. You gave me a headstart on a table top that I want to marble. A small suggestion for others-get a small piece of marble and keep it in front of as you replicate her finish. You can get a small amount from Home Depot. Thanks again for showing me how!

[@KimmieB.]

Great job Shannon ! Turned out great and you are right they really do last. I did my son’s bathroom over two years ago using the exact same method and products and I really wasn’t sure how they would hold up especially since I knew doing my son’s bathroom would be a true test (always water, hair products, toothpaste etc left on counters not wiped up lol.. ) well it’s held up great n really does give a big impact without breaking the bank.. Love y’all color choices really looks phenomenal 😘👌🏼👌🏼

[@BraillestoneAFS]

Really like the dimensionality you gave it with more than one color of base, and veining!

[@gregoryclark7566]

Looks so different after you changed it. The subtle veining is natural looking. Nice job.

[@kimberlynewman9862]

Thank you for showing us a cost effective way to update kitchens. I learn so much from your videos. Kim

[@y0urlillyness]

I'm glad I saw this video. I was gonna go with a spray paint method to make my countertops white but this looks way easier and way less messy. Great job, that's a nice before and after.

[@ragtoprenee2437]

I loved your video, great idea & communication,very enjoyable. I've been researching resin but will try your technique instead! I have an old old house, $40 is perfect. Yours Looks wonderful!!

[@theresaguest9874]

I'M DEFINITELY TRYING THIS ON MY ORANGE BAR TOP. THIS LOOKS AMAZING. TFS.

[@pj89-96]

THERESA GUEST, did you do yours?

[@SholehRouhani]

Thank you ! Very timely I have bought the package from Amazon but I’m nervous about the the whole process but after seeing this and reading the comments I’m more excited about it. You did a great job especially with the marble look 👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️👍👍

[@skristenl]

I was admiring your countertops in your last video. I did not realize you painted them... It looks amazing! Love the what you did to the backsplash as well.

[@elizabethsauro3583]

Bless you for sharing ! The transformation is impressive-I’m particularly struck by the depth! It’s so variegated, the layers and organic line-play are spot-on- your final outcome looks absolutely natural and utterly gorgeous. I’m definitely going to refer to your technique to guide the reclamation of my own (scuffed-up, peeling, though oddly sized) dishwasher top.. Ive been messing with porcelain tile configurations all morning, and nothing fits like i thought it would! I was panicking before i saw this-so thanks for the much- needed inspiration!!!

[@Austin-kv9co]

I painted my first house from wood to white and it turned out nice. Now my second house I am on doing the same. Great video I actually sat and watched all of it lol.

[@TheDailyDIYer]

Thanks!

[@kashfortheking]

I would’ve used a thin bead a caulk around the sink. That the only thing different that could’ve been done. The project was expertly done and made me happy 👍🏾👍🏾😃

[@prakkari]

I use oil paint or epoxy that dries slower and then paint the veins in wet in wet, so the colours blend naturally together without any effort from you. Oil or epoxy paint is also more durable for countertops than acrylic paint. I have experimented with untangled rope or a bundle of twine (ca. 10-15” long) to apply the veins, dipping it in the grey colour and dragging it haphazardly over the wet base colour. That makes the most natural look but requires a bit of trial, error and experimenting on a separate board until you get the confidence whip away passionately.

[@deaneclark6469]

Oh my goodness Shannon...yall's counter tops look amazing! As always, thank you for sharing your center top makeover with us! Stay safe, healthy and positive! God bless you and your family! 🙏❤🇺🇸😊🌲

[@judymathena2981]

I love how this turned out!! I have a countertop in the bathroom, I'd like to try this on, before tackling the kitchen. TFS and your tops turned out beautiful.

[@pj89-96]

I'm also doing my kids bathroom first. Lol. They can't wait. We'll see I guess! Did you do yours?

[@gwennunley297]

LOVE THIS!!! SOMEDAY I AM PLANNING ON UPDATING OUR KITCHEN. WANT TO CHANGE MY UBER DARK CABINETS TO OFF WHITE & NOW I CAN ALSO CHANGE THE OUTDATED GOLD COUNTER TOPS TO SOMETHING LIKE YOU HAVE DONE! REALLY LOVE THE FACT THAT IT WON'T BREAK THE BANK!!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING WITH US!!! LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!! YOU ARE SO HANDY!!!

[@TheDailyDIYer]

🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@lynnbertaut1870]

So happy to see you did the back splash also. Just what I have been looking for. My question is have you ever thought about using epoxy as a final coat for endurance?

[@vangher2008]

Hi there! Can you please list the products used in the video? And/ or a link next to the products where you purchased it? Thank you in advance! 🙂

[@ladyinky882]

Turned out great! I love that look. I would suggest that anyone wanting to do this that has never done it before should do a practice board to see what they like. I do prefer a high gloss top coat but that is a personal preference. I think it really comes to life with the sealer coat

[@daniellezimmerman4182]

Does it matter the brand for the high gloss top coat? So it doesn’t yellow

[@vickieva2927]

I have always loved black cabinetry 💚💚🐦💚💚

[@marjies.2332]

So beautiful, this gave your kitchen a brand new look. Thank you!

[@TeresaBranham]

Wow they look great!! I’d love to do that to mine but I’m so afraid I wouldn’t get the same results. I’ve been thinking about painting my cabinets too but I’m on the fence with those too lol, I to nervous to commit yet. Tyfs, hugs 🤗 Teresa

[@mermaiddiyartist8119]

Teresa Plans you can also use marble contact paper the epoxy resin. I like to blend the lines with flat white paint or to get rid of some of the veins. Very inexpensive. You could also tint the epoxy as well!

[@lillieghant9680]

I painted my cabinets about 3 months ago and they turned out beautiful. You just have to take your time. I took off all the hardware, sanded and painted. It took me a good week to get all that work done but it was worth it. I used the kit that can be purchased at Home Depot. You can do it.

[@davidmcgahan5328]

Awesome job it looks great. Thanks for sharing the process.

[@Hope-fv3kf]

FYI for anyone looking for Glidden. The company sold and the new company store have a different line. They did not rename the Glidden colors they only carry their colors.

[@kimb7970]

Love it Shannon. We have those same exact yellowish countersops. Our house is over 60 Yrs. old. Not quite as old as yours. I've had everything to do this project for over a year now but have been really nervous to do it. Thank you for doing this video it has given me new motivation and encouragement. Could you also please do a video on how to diy a faux brick wall and a faux barn wood wall. TY ! 💕

[@1961suzieq]

How have they held up?? I am SO wanting to do this to mine!!!!!

[@jewelarender2451]

Your project turned out beautifully!!! What a difference!! AWESOME JOB!!! So clean and crisp looking 😉😉😉

[@66lwmorgan]

How has it held up in the past year? I've been told these steps should be done with an oil base product instead of water base simply because you may get your counter tops wet. I don't know, I'm just saying what I've read. Thank you, great tutorial.

[@ensignj3242]

123 primer is Excellant when applying a gloss paint on top.

[@theresaglass1831]

Wow! That’s awesome! 🤔 my counters and cabinets desperately need an update. How does it hold up to getting food stains? Can you use cleaners on it that would be used to get rid of food stains etc.

[@clawsandpawsrescue2169]

How have your counters held up since then?

[@kathybinkley840]

Hi Shannon. Loved the counter top and back splash. Ive been wanting new backsplash and counter, so now for now, I think I will do mine just like yours.

[@jilllong9865]

I was thinking of doing this to my way to outdated countertops. Can you tell me if you still have the same countertops and if so, have they held up after this past year and a half?

[@kennydieu2694]

Great video with clear instruction . Thank you

[@bwynn3296]

What a transformation. You do great work, even when u r sanding, etc. You look cute. Tyfs

[@russianaloha4576]

Looks Beautiful 💞

[@michellemcallister855]

Hi Shannon! I am considering painting my countertops. I was wondering how yours have held up to use?? Thanks bunches!! :)

[@jerryjohnson1401]

I see you painted your backsplash too. The primer made the countertop look so much better.

[@jblakesalon]

Great results, just bought a house that needs this exact touch! Thank you

[@ArtInMotionStudios]

did you get any staining and how did it handle having anything hot on it.

[@julie5549]

It looks really beautiful. Is there a way to make them shiny?

[@danaclark8077]

Shannon that turned out great. I would be terrified to do this.

[@donnahasse8385]

I Love what you did and I hope it's still as beautiful! My other half won't let me do it as he is a skeptic. Love your videos ❄⛄🍭🎄

[@klevy300]

Just wow. I’m totally inspired. Thank you for sharing your creative skills. 🧑‍🎨🎨

[@laurieann4449]

Where did you find the color mountain ?? I am doing my countertop just like yours but adding a splash of a reddish color to the greys to pick up my kitchen wall

[@sandynickelson1531]

They. Look amazing. I want to do my tile floor

[@Rootscogoogleads]

How are they holding up? Do you have a video on that?

[@David-mh2jn]

So when you put on the 1st coat of the Martha Stewert, you use a brush solely?

[@lisabaxter2229]

When you say you go over it with your big paint brush that's wet, is that just wet from the base coat you put on?

[@mycats7321]

I wonder if this would work to turn my mother's green & white bathroom countertop to blue & white. I'll have to get photos of the existing veining pattern to put up as reference when I'm working. Wish I could just paint the veining part to cover the green & then epoxy or poly over it.

[@VsLeo1]

How did it hold up a year later? Looks great!

[@EvelynArnold]

I’m curious as well!

[@ricardobc2040]

That wet cement paint by Martha Stewart is it spray or ? I can't find it not even on line except on a spray can from amazonand I just watch your video that it seems to be 4 yrs old. Could you help me with that thnks

[@puplover6265]

Nice job. I'd be interested in an update to hear how it's holding up. Is there a reason you didn't take out the sink?

[@heatherbrooks7006]

Nice job, going to try that!

[@tamelamullins5961]

How long do I have to wait to put the sealer on countertops after viening

[@cynthianelson3711]

Could I do the same process on bathroom counter tops?

[@nelsonmena3904]

Can you tell me all material you used please

[@susannovak8263]

She showed the materials as she used to them.

[@LelaE34]

Really nice and so much less expensive.

[@bryannamilligan4139]

How long did you let the paint and how long did you let the poly cure separately

[@shanaka9381]

Im glad I seen this as I have the same primer and paint, but everyone keeps telling me it won't work, thank you for showing this

[@susancnw59]

How did it turn out? I need my husband to go out of town so I can do this!

[@crazy4shuz]

Oh my gosh, this looks amazing! You are so talented :)

[@ccheartcindy9357]

I saw the multicolored tiles in background also and in final view given they were all white. How cahnge the tile colors? All this looks like house just rented with pink and yellow small tiles in the bathrooms.

[@hevamirlandemersier1541]

Just beautiful great job

[@beckystancliff7274]

Hello! Can you tell us how well the paint is holding up to wear and tear??

[@TheDailyDIYer]

Still looks great almost 2 years later!

[@daniellezimmerman4182]

@@TheDailyDIYer and how is the polyurethane is it yellowing?

[@dianevezina6657]

Where do you get the stick on words/ letters without a cricuit?

[@marzettebolden2037]

You did a great job didn't think it would be that easy👍👍👍👍

[@melaniebradley8906]

Totally AMAZING! You're my hero! Have a great week! Hugs!

[@Donna-vh5ym]

Looks great. I noticed you did the back splash also. Can you tell us how much that cost ya.? Thxs...

[@Othermails08]

So you used 3 acrylic MS colors: the wet look, arrow head and steel spray? Just wanted to be sure so I can buy the exact colors. Thanks so much.

[@siminovela549]

For $40 it looks good. It helped me decide to do something else.

[@lindanave6390]

Oh how beautiful that turned out!

[@kimmm68904]

Fantastic video! It turned out so amazing and you did an excellent job of explaining… thank you so much! 🤩

[@nialante2848]

That came out beautifully!

[@zs9282]

Is this heat resistant? I love your explanation. Thank you

[@catheymarker8676]

Shannon, this is Amazing!!! So beautiful and I love that you painted the tile backsplash too!!!!

[@susancnw59]

It looks like they put up beadboard

[@jbz2291]

I notice you painted over your backslash. I never thought to do that. Why did you do it, how did you do it and are you happy with it?♥️👍

[@pamelahinatsu7195]

Shannon...what paint finish did you use?

[@julieankhan.2801]

Compared to mine. The b4 looks fantastic.

[@TinaRice4]

Can this be done on bathroom cultured marble? Do the products used need to be Food Safe? Great video!!! TFS!

[@lorikern2079]

Ive been wanting to paint mine to look like concrete before you added the veining how do you think it looks? I was thinking do what you did but stopping with the grey coats

[@nikradik]

Nice hope mine turn out this nice

[@mermaiddiyartist8119]

You can always research & look into using heat proof epoxy over this for the future 💖💖 so many good brands like Leggari have tutorials. Or if you have a budget try a less expensive epoxy. I’m going to try marbling different tinted concrete on my countertops. Then an epoxy sealant

[@jerisharpe906]

Just live your video, it's just the look I was after. Thank you again.

[@parisbravo2144]

Awesome. Definitely will be trying this!!!

[@juliem6840]

Oh wow, they look great!

[@epibarra61]

Did you cover the counter with the grey completely or just random

[@ShellieSager]

You didn't mention the back splash, but it changed. What did you use to paint that title?

[@debrachavous9288]

How did they hold up?

[@hannahmiller284]

Countertops are really pretty. I wanna paint mine but am scared they will chip and scratch, how have your mom and friend's countertop held up?

[@shericreates]

I did mine 6 years ago. Held up good. I used RustOleum countertop paint. I now have some chippy areas especially around the sink so I am going to sand everything, touch up the areas and then re-coat.

[@kerridonnelly6871]

FANTASTIC!! Really great look!

[@shelleygammon3606]

Shannon do you still have your counter top in this faux marble? If so how are they holding up?

[@TheDailyDIYer]

Yes! They have a couple spots on them but otherwise doing good! Would still recommend

[@kevdogcle9955]

Nice job. Looks grate..But, why you paint the title back splash. I liked the title colored back splash better then doing it all in white.

[@michellefeaster5585]

How long did you wait before adding second coat of Poly?

[@JaTon]

Does it resist chipping if you drop a dish on it?

[@rachaelperkins.artstuff7283]

Hi is the paint food safe?
