Having done several of these kits I can say with all honestly sanding the counters first definitely helps the longevity of the product

[@OurLittleNest]

Tracy McLaughlin Holmes definitely getting the surface roughed up helps a lot!

[@ambernicole1588]

I painted my counters recently. I didn't use the kit however, but got similar results. Also, just to add...I used a turkey feather for the veining and acrylic paint that was diluted with water rather than the paint and spray technique. It made the veining look very realistic. Great job!!

[@metalvixxxen8321]

I wish I could see pics of your technique 😔

[@zzpopster]

I'd love to see pics as well, what product did you use. I can't find this kit in London at the moment. Many thanks in advance

[@izabellewint1369]

how did you do it because the kit is out of stock ?

[@debidevalois4881]

Great idea, but where do you get a turkey feather?

[@ambernicole1588]

I used a white primer that's mold and mildew resistant, acrylic paints and a turkey feather which you can get at craft stores, and a spray bottle with water to help thin out the streaks a bit to make them more realistic.

[@evelynharyono]

It turned out so well!! Love the color of the backsplash tiles with marble counter too! I can't wait to see more videos about ur camper! Stay healthy!

[@otpyrc]

Great job on assimilating the natural veins of marble stones, when finished it actually looks just like a marble I work with often named white carrara.

[@wandaacosta52]

Awesome! That mint color back splash looks fantastic

[@pinkcharms]

Wow! Can’t believe how good it looks!

[@BS-dq1kz]

The way you did the line design looks better than any other I’ve seen! Good job!

[@TexPR1]

The press on faux tile is great for the camper since it is lighter weight than real tile. The entire look is nice. That camper looks very old and dark. So the countertop and tile really freshen it up and make it look more modern. Can’t wait to see your updates on the camper.

[@larynh2526]

This looks like it turned out great! Thanks for sharing this project

[@kimmorin7847]

[@tigerblood6823]

Super cool video. This looks great. 👌

[@BroadwayGardener]

Love the way your counter turned out! I was JUST talking to my fiancé about doing some DIY's on our kitchen while we're quarantined

[@RealLifeInLA]

Wow everything turned out beautiful xxx thanks for sharing... sending blessings and love

[@myg6204]

Beautiful this simple and easy great job!

[@francesgillotti1378]

I used to work as a decorative artist and did lots of faux marble . I used oil paint and feathers and a badger hair brush . It came out lovely . I used to do layers so it created depth. It helps if you study real marble to see how the veining looks . 😊

[@ShanettaDIYLife]

I'm going to do my kitchen and I purchased a small bag of feathers for this exact reason. Thanks for the confirmation.

[@zoeypfieffer4964]

I think you did a fantastic job!!! Looks pretty

[@CDESONE]

Surfing You Tube for suggestions on counter top refurb and this is exactly what I was looking for! We just purchased a older camper on a seasonal lot, Going to use this method in the camper as practice for my 1987 pink counter tops in my home! Thanks for sharing, great video!

[@BXLatina35]

Came out pretty 😊if it does start messing up ....amazon sell marble contact paper... get the brand DC Fix... it lasts and it’s cost effective....the quality is great... hope this helps 😀

[@OurLittleNest]

Bxlatina35 I was thinking of doing that as well! It seems like it comes out really nice!

[@mermaiddiyartist8119]

Bxlatina35 yeah its nice at first but over time the contract paper stains. Scratches

[@notacanadian278]

I used the contact paper on our rv countertops and its lasted us for 2 months so far of continuous use.

[@BXLatina35]

Mermaid ArtistQueen I have contact paper on my kitchen counter and no issues at all had it close to a year now.... dc fix is a good brand

[@BXLatina35]

Our Little Nest do it u won’t regret it and u can change it whenever u feel u want a new look . Saves a lot of money lol 😊

[@cnunez13]

[@kelseyp600]

Please do update videos in 6 months, 1 year, etc and let us know how this stuff holds up over time!!!! I'm so tempted to do some projects like this is my own place but cant afford new things if I screw mine up so I'm scared to try!

[@dodijames6801]

It will work great , but you have to sand it first, then use the epoxy . Otherwise it will peel.

[@simplymisslatoya]

I think it looks really cool Em!

[@magalissantiago2817]

looks very nice!

[@berlindaarmijo9251]

So very beautiful!

[@emilie477]

I really like this!

[@abigails4139]

[@astrabula329]

Wow! That looked amazing! Definitely scary and gave me a bit of anxiety to think of myself taking on a project like that! Lol 😂 but wow I loved it!! I am living for these videos!!! Great job!!! 😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰😘😍

[@AccordingtoKAT]

That looks great! It's going to look beautiful with that backsplash... Thanks for sharing.

[@AhChoua]

[@dtgallant1]

[@realoneamariyanna3282]

This is amazing

[@loveforeignaccents]

Looks good!

[@mariacasella979]

I think it looks good!...I wouldn't of known it isn't real marble ✨great job 👍

[@tlrmd4you]

Yours look fantastic!! I did mine with epoxy, from stone coat, they ship and have a ton,if videos!! Ive had them for years and they will,last forever!! I love your videos!!

[@ab2396]

Thanks taylor I need something super durable !

[@esotericyetti327]

They make this really cool spray which comes out in sort of confetti like veins for faux marble epoxy countertops. It looks incredibly natural and it's much easier than painting things on with a brush.

[@amandaholland2284]

What is it called?

[@rhondajones4007]

Wished I knew what it was called.

[@Aileensjournal]

You did fantastic job .. I will do mine too soon .. thank you for sharing ..

[@kait4586]

I just painted our counters last week! We bought the $20 rustoleum can that can be tinted at Lowe’s.

[@OurLittleNest]

Kait how cool!!

[@vanybelleofficial5412]

Well done, looks amazing, so real..... you also did put effort in it. I'm so lazy that would probably buy the marble adhesive paper

[@osheajackson8635]

An epoxy would help to make it last alot longer. Also another option for countertops is the stonecoatcountertop kit. It is awesome for renewing countertops

[@jarellee1076]

Awesome for taking the chance on doing countertop paint kit... remember like Bob Ross said, there are only happy little accidents. Keep working at it, it will buff out.

[@heidil5955]

I almost did that!!!! I ended up doing the Daich Spreadstone one and LOVE it!!!!💁🏼‍♀️ looks nice👏🏻

[@OurLittleNest]

Heidi L I have to look into that one! I’m amazed at how real it looks!

[@heidil5955]

Our Little Nest yes! This one I did has real stone!!! I like it a lot

[@bigtexrmc]

Heidi, has it held up good after normal,use?

[@chantelboy6318]

Woman...what sorcery is this!!!!! Brilliant

[@RDnAC]

Looks great

[@KatyBauer1]

Great job!!! I was thinking that you can probably go a little heavier with your paint on the base coats, that may help cover with fewer coats.

[@katherinerichardson6527]

Ah this video is so perfect timing! We've just bought our first home and the kitchen is blue melamine with a speckled grey (not nice) counter top. I was hoping to do a faux butcher block but this might work as well!

[@OurLittleNest]

Katherine Richardson congratulations!! That is so exciting, this is perfect for it!!

[@janie3117]

How would you do faux butcher block? Just piecing wood together?

[@du2242]

LOVE your ring !

[@OurLittleNest]

Thank you!!

[@theaweggen6805]

Hi wow it looks so good nice👍👍

[@horrisajones8933]

Very nice 👍🏼

[@countrygirl6794]

I love the counter tops I would absolutely put the epoxy over them and keep them so pretty ...

[@lolarose4673]

What a difference... Amazing! tfs take care God Bless 💖💖

[@OurLittleNest]

Lola Rose God bless💛💛

[@Mary-ir8ct]

Em it looks AMAZING! Are you thinking about doing this to your home kitchen countertop after doing the camper counter top? I think you should consider it, it seriously looks amazing

[@OurLittleNest]

Mary Rose if we change our backsplash I definitely would! Right now I think it would be too much white with the tile and cabinets but I’d love to!!

[@lydiakinnaman1106]

Looks great,

[@cheezetoasty3573]

Wish we got counter top paint in the uk 😔great job you done!

[@alexela4732]

I love your videos so much! My boyfriend and I want to buy an old camper too and your videos are sooo inspiring ! Thank u 💕

[@OurLittleNest]

Alexela aww!! It’s such a fun project! I feel like everyone needs a camper to remodel 😂

[@alexela4732]

Our Little Nest it looks like so much fun and I feel like it’s gonna be so rewarding 🤗

[@cdmalchusable]

Using the tip of a feather and twisting as you make your vein helps it look more natural😊

[@myadouglas74]

saw this online blog post for diy ceramic-looking knobs and tried it the other day and it looks amazing! thought y'all might want to try this for the cabinet knobs.

[@OurLittleNest]

Oooo! How did you do it?!

[@janjones4772]

Very pretty

[@pr9177]

I had decided against doing this, but I hadn’t thought about doing it in the camper! What a great idea. You definitely don’t want to put a heavy countertop in a camper because of weight.

[@pr9177]

Also, thanks for being the guinea pig!

[@Cgh432]

Very nice 👍

[@ohPokey]

Good job ✨💥✨

[@rachellml.2006]

[@Peacelily1083]

How ironic, I'm an Aussie also AND just subscribed? Looks like you've got us on board all these thousands of miles away. Can't wait for more, bring it on girl, thank you 🤗

[@donnakkasper6634]

Where did you get your coffee sign on the counter? You’re doing such a great job...

[@devgovea]

Great results! The backsplash color is also super beautiful but I do have to say I kinda like the old wall paper behind it too.

[@kellyfl3601]

Beautiful and inspiring! Your ring is gorgeous too, where is it from?

[@cifa9713]

Wow😍
