Has anyone done faux painting ... to look like marble or granite? I am gearing up to do this
I love a good, break my nails, get dirty project (so appealing, I know)
I want to do faux granite countertops in the kitchen ... but it seems what the owners are gravitating towards is actually the look of marble ... not granite ... fine by me.
I looked at the peel and stick faux granite and I don't think that will hold up, plus I didn't find it in the colors the family wants (it's not my kitchen)
So far, I've stripped the walls of the 50 year old orange and yellow wallpaper, repaired the holes in the plaster, painted the ceiling and put the base coat on the kitchen cabinets.
The family can afford paint and my (free) labor which is why we aren't buying new counters.
so ... hmmm ... I guess I'm just wondering if there are any do-it-yourself-ers out there who might've tackled this kind of project.
