Tired of Your Old Countertops? Don’t Have the Cash to Update Them? I Have the Solution

 

Not many people know that counter tops can be painted. For approximately $100 in paint supplies you can create the look of granite or marble very easily and quickly. You do not have to be a master painter by any means but you do have to be careful what you use and of course the surface has to be prepared to paint.  I created the a unique painting process called Countertop Transfauxmations and it proved to be so successful and a great way to save on a huge kitchen remodel that I made a DVD to teach you how to do this yourself.

 

Over the years, I have faux painted so many different Formica countertops. Just about every color, from dark purple and yellow to light green with sparkles. Even textured Formica.  My process covers every color Formica and will also cover nicks, chips burns and scratches.

This is a four step process that can be completed in about a weekend. As you are using regular paint, your color options are limitless and for the biggest concern of all, this is extremely durable. In fact, the countertop in my own kitchen was refinished three and a half years ago and it is still in the same condition as when I first did it. I painted the counter top a beautiful faux granite. I started out with a dark brown base and added beige, bronze and white. I painted the dark wood cabinets white, changed the hardware and we later changed the sink and stove to white. It is a great kitchen and very workable so for us, there is no need to change it. Our three children were three, (twins) and five years old when the counters were refinished and they have really held up to family wear and tear…not to mention the parties and gatherings at our home.

 

Countertop Transfauxmations was featured on The Rachael Ray Show earlier this year in a quick budget kitchen makeover.  I have heard so many times, “This is too good to be true.” But you can see for yourself at www.byyoull.com.

 

I know this might be a little nerve wrecking for some so with your DVD demo. I provide a full color manual to keep with you while you work so you will not forget the details. There is also a full shopping list of materials, which you can buy at most paint stores. I am always happy to answer questions so feel free to email me at michaela@countertoptransfauxmations.com

 

Happy painting and I wish you much luck selling your home.
