Thinking about painting your kitchen countertops to save money? Before you pick up a paintbrush, you’ll want to see this. In today’s video, I’ll take you behind the scenes of my DIY countertop makeover using the Heirloom Traditions Countertop Kit. What started as a budget-friendly way to refresh dated granite turned into a cautionary tale filled with lessons learned the hard way.
From prepping the surface with deglosser, to applying multiple coats of paint, to attempting a faux marble finish—this project shows both the potential and the pitfalls of trying to transform your countertops yourself. If you’ve ever wondered whether painting your countertops is worth it, this is the video to watch.
