Budget Kitchen Update Part 3 | Refinishing Old Marble

I found this marble slab on FB marketplace for $100-the perfect top, I thought, for our new kitchen island. And then, I changed my mind and did something totally different. I didn’t know anything about marble when I started it and made many mistakes along the way. Oh, and I had lots of help from Charlie and Joseph on this project.

Wow, it looks just beautiful! I think that you have considerably more patience than I would have in dealing with that marble. But the end result, with the sealer, looks gorgeous. And you have a great looking stove backsplash now! I loved hearing your little boy talking as you were working. Adorable! 🥰
