Countertop paint kits are a pretty common DIY project but they assume you have existing counters! I didn't have existing countertops to work with, so I made my own from plywood and maple wood edging. In this video I show you step by step how I did it so you can make your own countertops and save thousands!

I don't like spending money. But I'm very particular and I like nice things. The 2 don't often go together… and that's a big part of why I end up making so many things!

I have a medium sized kitchen with about 43 square feet of countertop space and using an estimate of $70 a square foot to install marble countertops puts the cost of the counters over $3000… yikes. In total the materials for this project cost approximately $510 for a savings of well over $2000 and the counters look fantastic!


Disclaimer: I received the Giani marble epoxy kit for free to use in the making of this video. However, this is no way affected my choosing of their product, I decided to go with their kit first and then reached out to them about possibly providing the materials before buying them myself, which they agreed to do.
