Faux Granite Countertops

For years I have been perfectly happy with my beige formica countertops but for the past several years I have secretly lusted for granite! It wasn't until recently my oldest daughter, Mallary, suggested that one of my future projects may need to include a countertop redo. So, I did what most people do these days and googled. After watching mannnnyyyyy videos I decided to go with this technique found here. You base coat with countertop paint and layer different colors on top of that. The colors I used did make my kitchen darker so I am going to go with bright curtains to hopefully lighten it up a bit. I plan to post a tutorial in the near future of the colors, steps, etc. I did but, for now, I am resting and enjoying my "new" look in my kitchen.
