HOW TO PAINT FAUX MARBLE TILE | DIY HOME RENOVATION

[@jeffb.2998]

Your instruction is what every video should be: concise, informative and, I might add in your case, very professional...there's a a lot of work involved here and you did an absolutely beautiful job...the results are very realistic!

[@prairiestylehome9330]

So kind!! Appreciate this so much. Thank you!!!

[@annietbd5042]

Love the idea of mimicking tiles from home depot...thanks for the video

[@DominicSaggione]

I hate faux finishing, but this is flawless. Amazing job. I’m going to try this technique on a countertop. 👏

[@paulc4472]

holy moly this is amazing. This can be a HUGE business - i personally would love to just pay someone experienced like her to do this for me - it's not only cheaper since you don't have to buy a ton of new materials or demo, but it's a great way to just keep the place clean without all the demo then cutting cement boards, mixing all the thin set mortar then large tile mortar for tiles then cutting tiles for edges/corners and then grout etc.

As soon as I heard you say out I knew you’re Canadian 😅😊

[@sorthemightyhunter4115]

You’re an awesome artist!!! Phenomenal paint job!👍👍👍 People don’t realize that marble is harder than it looks, if you want tha right outcome. Like you demonstrated, you hafta make it appear natural, and not as though it was purposely painted that way. Keep inspiring people!!!👍👍👍

[@makeupjunkie325]

Your floors turned out beautiful!!! ❤ I would love to see a video more in depth on how you paint counter tops. How do you plan out the pattern on a large counter top? You’re very talented - keep up the great work!

[@phyllisjrcrestorationdecordesi]

[@stellagutierrez8148]

hello! I enjoy watching your videos and I had a question. how is the faux marble paint floor holding up?

[@versailleaaron3475]

I like this channel because she is funny and relatable.and despite all her mistakes she is so determined 😂 to keep going.

[@refilwesibiya5322]

The easiest tutorial so far that i've watched, and I must say, it came out so beautifully. Thank you, and a job well done!

[@prairiestylehome9330]

Thank you so much!! 💕💕

[@Tania689]

How long has this lasted?

[@monwatshak1607]

Please make more of these, love the floors!! I would love to see how you painted your lower wood looking cabinets.

[@briebrownn]

Can we please get an update on how the paint held up after a year??

[@prairiestylehome9330]

Sorry for the late response!! It's been 2 years since I painted the floors and it's holding up awesome. I'm actually surprised - I thought for sure there would be some touchups I'd need to do, but nope. The paint is so durable!!! I'm trying to remember if I did 2 or 3 clear coats. I bet that helps a lot.

[@davidnickels3325]

Great tutorial. I used it to paint a "marble" tombstone for a Frankenstein model. Don't laugh - it worked great. The only change I made was to start with a light Grey color first, and then apply White with a sponge over the Grey.

[@prairiestylehome9330]

Thank you!! O wow!! So many applications for faux marble ☺

[@melaniewebb420]

You are excellent! The floor is gorgeous.

[@joann5157]

WOW! This video and result are AWESOME!! I'm going to be painting my stained concrete floors soon and you have inspired me!

[@darianwalt]

I never comment on KZbin videos but you blew me away with how detailed and informative your tutorial is. I can’t thank you enough!! I am following this to a T this week. But I need your help!!!! The only item I can’t find is the Saman clear glaze..Can you pleaseeee give me a substitute if possible?!

[@olgacolonforeversky]

It came out so pretty. Many blessings

[@glynishigham1893]

that floor looks stunning

[@observer4497]

Phenomenal Job! The floor looks fabulous and what a great instructional video..🙌

[@aprilmathis2498]

Absolutely Gorgeous!

[@journeytobetterjes_erazo87]

The floors came out gorgeous!

[@davidrlord]

Wow, thank you! I'm going to have decorative screens inside my cabinets for air circulation (Hawaii), and they are black metal cross-hatched. I wanted to add marble-like veins of gold on the black screens just because and was looking for a video specifically on how to do veining with a feather. I found the master! Great, great video.

[@A_Paterson]

This is the best tutorial I’ve seen so far!!

[@Theresa5601]

Perfect ❤I plan on paint my bedroom accent wall probably like this

[@liftoffandtravel]

Was a tiny bit skeptical when you started using the feather but that's brilliant!!! So impressed

[@yasmin1821]

Just discovered ur channel and WOW!!!! WE NEEEEERD MORE VIDEOS!!!!!❤❤❤

[@prairiestylehome9330]

Made my day!!!! Thank youuuuu!!! More videos on the way :) I am currently working on a long form video for a media console built-in that I am doing in the basement!

[@CalamityCJ]

This is gorgeous! I would love an update on how they've held up!

[@malaika224]

Great video. This came out lovely. Unfortunately for me, it was at about the 6:00 mark when i realized i lack the artistic prowess this requires, and this is above ability 😂😂😂

[@manoahvanderwolf3259]

Ufff, not only is the work you did absolutely stunning, but so are you! Love this though, very interesting, i'm thinking of applying a thin (elastic) waterproofing layer on my bathroom floor especially to fill the 'grout lines', and thinking i'm going to copy your fantastic faux marble tile example and make essentially a floor like it's a 'one slab' - perhaps i'll even add a very thin layer of epoxy resin when it's done to make it glossy.

[@JohnathonWhittaker]

great video and very impressive dedication to the painting technique

[@lkenady52]

Absolutely beautiful!!! I am doing this in my Florida room! Thank you so much!

Amazing videos! Clear concise instructions and demonstration…you’re doing a great job! One thing you might want to think about is….the music was a tad loud and distracting when trying to learn from you, but man you do beautiful work! Thanks for sharing

[@Amy.Mowrer]

Beautiful! How well are they keeping with cleaning? What products are you using to clean them with?

[@lyzabethlopez]

[@denisekoenig9479]

U r so talented

[@ToniHarris-e3i]

I loved your video. Very easy to follow. What kind of paint did you use as the base paint (flat/satin/semi gloss)?

[@LouLou-jg9vq]

Looks a amazing 😍😍😍😍

[@vicienteduvie5631]

Thanks for all this you are amazing

[@queenvsev4800]

I love it. I’m going to try this but 2 questions: How do you clean it to maintain the look? Can I do this on my kitchen tiles that are reddish brown to cream marble faux?

[@manoahvanderwolf3259]

Just a really important question imho: please respond: HOW do the tiles hold up now after a year? is the paint flaking off? is it still as good as new?

[@prairiestylehome9330]

It's been 2 years now and they paint is holding up awesome! We aren't gentle on the floors either.

[@josephrodriguez8718]

You are so amazing 👏👏👏👏

[@rickichester2244]

So So Gorgeous! Would you still endorse this top coat after a year of wear? Would you do it the same way again? I am ready to top coat my project and am terrified the protective top coat will yellow the whites, or in general, just not be scrub-able. 😬

[@diyartcraftwithrabia5666]

So nice plz tell me wot paint r u using for flour which can resist water

[@giancarlotulletti8497]

Brava!! How the top coat perform?

[@bobsprecher1802]

ooooo I am so doing this now! Thank you!

[@wendyl8047]

That looks so realistic, awesome job👍

[@misterunserious7265]

Impeccable ⭐⭐⭐

[@AshS85]

Wow, great work, how long did it take in total not including drying time?

[@prairiestylehome9330]

Thank you so much!! This took a very long time, but most of the time was spent not knowing what I was doing, lol. I had to experiment quite a bit to get the paint mixtures (especially the veining mix) and to figure out the technique I liked best. Near the end of the project when I had the process figured out, it went a lot faster- I’d guess 15 minutes per tile or so.

[@noraconnelly2584]

Your floors look AMAZING! Your shorts popped up on my yt page, and that sucked me in!😂🤣🤣 I love your sense of humor!💯🎯😂🤣👍 Also, I noticed that everyone is talking about your faux marble technique, but no one is mentioning your lower cabinets!!😍 I love the tone and noticed they are in your bath & kitchen! Omgosh, this is what I've been wanting to do in my kitchen. 🎯💯 #1 - did you use a paint wash? Or purchase them like this? #2 - if you used your existing cabinet doors/drawers, will you please make a "how-to" tutorial? Pretty please?🙏🤓🥹

[@prairiestylehome9330]

Thank you!!!! You just made my day!!! I sanded the cabinets down to the bare wood and used a custom glaze mixture. I did this 4 years ago and they're still holding up great. I've got a link to a free glaze recipe and instruction printable in my bio (click linktree). It will prompt you to add your email address, which adds you to my email list - I promise I don't spam, haha. I must warn though that the glaze is a mixture of a lot of products and there are a lot of steps. I am currently finishing the wood on a media console built-in doing a paint wash. I am going to experiment and see if I can get as nice of results with it.

[@BoxOutCeltics]

How long does the paint last on floor tiles before it gets worn down by foot traffic?

[@helbitkelbit1790]

Not long....

[@r-e_mii]

Depends how its sealed. You can use a polycrylic or polyurethane like you would on wood floors.

[@YestelaY]

Epoxy floor coating.

[@markovucilovski9876]

It also depends on the type of floor paint used. With one it easily scratched when I’ve moved the washing machine (even after 3 fully cured coats). While the other paint I’ve used still stands strong (after 2 coats).

[@bloudjinepierre1909]

@@markovucilovski9876what paint lasted two years?

[@ANathan123]

I really like this technique the only thing I would maybe do differently is using a grout paint instead of just a floor paint for the actual grout lines

[@janechoi9933]

I'm pretty good at DIY, but this is something you can only do, is it possible for small tiled floors and tile walls in a shower room?

[@Fitmoneymo]

Beautiful 😍 I’m looking for the video - is it still up?

[@stellaschwartz4881]

what color did you use on your cabinets? it's gorgeous

[@prairiestylehome9330]

Thank you! It's a custom glaze mixture. I have a detailed instruction sheet available in my Etsy shop, as it is a bit of a process.

For the marble look are you using regular paint?

[@SusieLoveArtPage]

Would you do the exact same for a backsplash ?

More idea please 😊

[@stephaniedean1870]

Hello, I am getting ready to do this to my bathroom floor. How is yours holding up?

[@mistypalombo5814]

the deck paint is expensive and you need so little, can you use acrylic paint from the craft store in grey?

[@i-techinstallations]

True Alberta Gal. 😊

[@aprendesinmochila1360]

WoW! ❤❤❤

[@ginamariemazur]

Is the glaze water or oil based?

[@stephanieevangelista2102]

How long in total did it take you to do this floor. I want to tackle my kitchen floors but I’m waiting for my husband to leave our house so he can’t refuse this before I start😂. You did an amazing job. I’m Canadian too. Wanna come hang out and help me 😂❤.

[@usernature]

hi i cant find the saman clear glaze in my country, can you advise on what can i substitute it with?

[@prairiestylehome9330]

Any clear latex glaze will work! Here is another example: www.lowes.com/pd/Valspar-Clear-Satin-Water-based-Clear-Glaze/1000380325. Hope that helps!

[@CPink-ek2wp]

Totally Awesome! Question: you know how some marble has a gold streak, how would you apply that? BTW: you are my shero! I am in Awe!

[@prairiestylehome9330]

So kind!!! Thank you!!! Hmmm I wonder about a metallic paint of some sort. I believe Fusion paint makes some nice metallic paint. The right color is key. Once you found a nice gold, I'd just experiment with it on a small area, or a spare tile. Find a picture that you'd like to mimic. It always helps so much to have the look you're trying to mimic in front of you while you're painting. Off the top of my head, I'd do the grey feathering first, and once that's dry. I'd take a tiny paint brush with some gold and roughly follow some of the lines from the feathering. If it looks too harsh, mix some glaze in with the gold so that it softens the color. And always important before your paint dries to soften the lines by lightly dabbing with either a big dry brush or a dry rag - it should never be obvious what tool you used to paint your veins. Hope that was somewhat helpful!

[@jccanada9931]

I would love to do that on my kitchen floor but it would be impossible because of the applying and drying times and high traffic
