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

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

    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!!

      I wish I could see pics of your technique 😔

      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

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

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

    • @ambernicole1588
      @ambernicole1588 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

    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.

    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.

  • @francesgillotti1378
    @francesgillotti1378 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    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 . 😊

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

    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.

    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
      @OurLittleNest  4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

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

    • @mermaiddiyartist8119
      @mermaiddiyartist8119 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

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

    • @notacanadian278
      @notacanadian278 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

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

    • @BXLatina35
      @BXLatina35 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      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
      @BXLatina35 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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 😊

    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!

  • @esotericyetti327
    @esotericyetti327 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    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.

  • @tlrmd4you
    @tlrmd4you 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @pr9177
    @pr9177 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    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

    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

    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
      @dodijames6801 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

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

    • @OurLittleNest
      @OurLittleNest  4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      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!!

    You mention things you’d like to try. I have tile floor in my kitchen with horrible grout. 8m told you can’t grout on grout so hoping you will come up with something. I wouldn’t mind staining the tile but then I still have the grout issue. Thanks! I love all remodels so far. 💕
