- WHITE MARBLE PAINTED COUNTERTOPS | EPOXY TOPCOAT | EASY AFFORDABLE DIY (without using a kit)
Welcome to Part 1 of my Kitchen Renovation series! Over the next few weeks/ months I will be showing yall the final steps to completing a kitchen renovation all DIY style. Before starting this series I have retired the backsplash, retiled the floor, painted the cabinet, replaced the microwave, and now painted the kitchen cabinet! I will go over all of those in the final reveal!
A few weeks ago I started painting my faux marble countertops and have finally gotten the time to finish them. The challenge for us was when we could find a time that we would be able to not use our counter surfaces for 3 days.
This DIY white marble painted countertop is super easy and could be completed in a day (besides the drying time for the epoxy topcoat.) I am nowhere near being an artist and although the marble veining looks intimidating, it is very forgiving and super easy to make look realistic.
I hope yall enjoy this DIY and if you try this one yourself please tag me so I can boost you on my Instagram.

9 month update!!
Structurally and functionally the countertop is holding up well to every day use. As you see in the video my moms kitchen gets FAR more light than I realize so since I used a pure white paint it started to yellow a bit. If I were to do this again I would choose to do a type of marble that isn’t as pure white (or a granite finish would work too). Also we let it cure for about a week or two to be safe by making sure things were placed on towels or cutting boards.
TLDR: be aware of potential yellowing with pure white designs in high sun areas (UV exposure)
The epoxy did the yellowing
That's a shame because you did an outstanding job. There must be some type of UV protective product to use for or with the topcoat.
I love the way you did the veins--looks much more realistic than most of the other techniques people use. Great job!
What other colors can you choose that is light?
@@rgbuckl You're right. She did an excellent job for saying she's not an artist. This was a bold undertaking. I use Stone Coat Countertop products.
Thank you so much for the update
I never comment but I just had to on yours! After watching which seems like a million videos on how to diy faux marble yours gave me the confidence I needed to do it! Your video was literally so simple to follow ! And your personality was just like a friendly voice! Thank you very much! My counter looks AMAZING!
I totally agree. Thanks
Hello from NYC! I just saw your video on my TV, after watching someone else’s video on this same project…but I found that other video too hard to follow. And then saw the thumbnail for your video pop up, and I clicked and loved every minute of it!! I was terrified of trying this type of project, but after watching your video, I fell confident enough to go for it! Thank you SO much for this video and everything I learned watching you tackle this project so easily! It’s why I became an instant subscriber! God bless you!
💖🙏🏼
Got to leave you a "Thumbs UP"! I been watching a lot of painting marble countertops videos and yours was straight forward and detail. Also, love how your counter top outcome looks too.
I must disagree with you. You ARE an artist!! That is beautiful!! And your instructions were very precise. Thank you for putting out this helpful video. I will be watching it again when I do the counters in my new (old) 5th wheel.
The most chill countertop re-do video on CZcams I think. So far only video I’ve seen that doesn’t use epoxy paint. Not sure what to think of that.
Can you make an update video on how these are holding up?
First of all, your personality and voice is beautiful, secondly, thanks for giving me the courage to want to do this myself instead of hiring professionals. I am about to be a first time buyer on a pre-construction house and the builder decided "bruh lets just put ugly quartz here to save money" - so to ease the stress of moving in a house im already a little annoyed with, this DIY is the missing ingrieident. Thanks so much for posting
I don’t even have a house, but I want to marble everything now! ✨
Best demonstration on epoxy to date. TY. 🙏🏽❤️
Wow! Well done young lady.🌻🌴🌻
I have looked at so many videos but yours made it so clear and I will deffinately use it as my guide. Thank you so much for giving us the benifit of your experience. I am almost 80yrs and slowly painting my kitchen cabinets, I realy like your back splash as well, although I am just going to paint the tile that I have and then start on my marble counter top, I will follow your advice and will let you know how it turns out. 🌻🌴🌻
I have been watching a lot of diy videos and I have honestly to say that there’s something about you that makes your videos somehow special. IDK but I guess It has something to do with your demeanor, your voice and the way you move your eyes. Anyway, thanks for these videos and please keep it up.
This is the best video I've seen on making epoxy marble countertops yet, you are very informative, thanks so much!
Loved your most helpful video! Your counters look gorgeous and gave helpful insights on how to fix any problems. Next week I am doing counters in my new home using your methods. Thank you for making this diy project look simple. If you can do it, I can too.
Great job Rachel, countertops looks beautiful and I appreciated the informative marble tutorial!
I've been watching endless videos on these countertop makeovers, you've made it look very simple. Thanks!
Smooth, clear, intelligible and concise. Thank you teacher. Brilliant video!!
Wow Rachel, the counters turned out beautifully. You’re so thorough and informative.
Thank you so much!
You're inspiring! You really did a great job! I really want to get to work on my own old, old outdated kitchen countertops and see them transformed, as well. I love the high gloss look too. Makes the countertops look very high end! My only concern now is how to pull this off and keep animals safe and out of harm's way while it cures. (Three days plus is a really long time to cure...I would hate to see little paw prints all over my masterpiece! ). How much does it cure in 24 hours?
You just gave me the courage to do this! Thank you!
Hey beautiful did you end up doing it yet?
Beautiful!! Thanks for showing your process. Great video!
Hands bow the best video I've seen for faux marbling and I've been pouring through these videos
I am very impressed, awesome job , looks great and realistic.
Really appreciate the show- as-you go easy-to-follow techniques.. your project turned out really fantastic and looks professional 👍🏽

You are my new fave DIY. You break it down and make it very simple!
Love what you did with the blow dryer 🤗👍🏼
This is the best video I've seen in DIY'ing the countertops. Thanks so much!
Wow, beautiful veining!!! Thank you for the tutorial!
Wow! amazing work!
Thank you. You are the best of the videos explaining the veining. You give me the confidence to do it. I have 3-4 counters to do. You are the BEST.
Thank you so much! Glad it helped!
Exactly what I came here to say. Excellent presentation all around. Great job!!
WoW this is the BEST diy marble countertop I have ever seen!!! Seriously the veining and the topcoat is on point...I am an artist and I have been wanting to get marble counter tops but it's not in the budget. But you did such an excellent job and explained it so well, so I am going to try it. Sis you could charge for your talent, seriously I could not tell they are not marble after you were done. BRAVO!!!!
Loved the veining! Great job!!
All I can say is wow 🤩
Rachel thanks for sharing. I am going to work on my countertop now.
👍looks great wait a minute no it looks really really great I spent 5 hours looking for a good enough video to take advice from however I'll be doing a flollor and I'll be adding a couple extrs 👍👍
Excellent tutorial. Most informative.
This looks so beautiful. You did a great job. I am trying to decide what to do with my old blue counter tops.
I was trying to do mine without a kit....one kit I wanted to use was $800...so was looking for a video exactly like this!!!
Gorgeous!
Excellent that looks so good and so real!!
One of the best tutorials I've seen!! Great job, thanks! 👌👏
Thank you!
Defiantly excellent
This video was the best of all! I just finished with everything except the epoxy using your method and wow!!! Even without the epoxy my countertops look amazing! I’ll try to get a video up soon!
You did a beautiful job. I'm trying this. Thank you!!
This is the video that has helped me take the leap of diy this. I love your choice of color and it is the one I would love to have on my counters. I forgot the grey color but it looks very much like the real thing. I love the creative blow dryer on the levelor. So fun.
You are so talented! Can't wait to see what you do next
Great presentation ! I'm doing this ! Thank you.
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!
Looked amazing
Nice...I'm definitely going to try this!
This is really beautiful and you are definitely an artist. You have a great eye for detail and beauty and your instructions were wonderful! This is an awesome video
Thank you so much!
Great video! Just what I've been looking for.
Wow. Amazing job!
You did an amazing job! Best video on how to d this - Bravo!
This looks dope. Great video.
This is the BEST video I have seen on the diy marble countertops (and I've watched A LOT). Thank you so much for sharing your experience. They look fantastic!
Thank you so much! When I was trying to figure it out I watch pretty much all the videos and still couldn’t find al the info Aj needed. I’m glad this video is helping people!!
@@TheRachelThomasLife How are the counters holding up?
You did a fantastic job. You inspire me.
This will be my next project. Thanks.
Wow this is an amazing job! I did my countertop with this same marble pattern but it’s contact paper because I was nervous trying to test my countertop with paint. With your steps and instructions I may have some hope. Thanks so much for sharing this!!!
Glad it was helpful! Hope you get to try it someday!
Rachel White Life someday if my husband allow me to experiment again 🤣
Wow! I wish would have seen this before I paid for quartz counter tops! Beautiful work Rachel. I was just passing through and now I'm a subscriber. Looking forward to seeing more.
Same here! First time viewing, and I like what I'm seeing! Already hit subscribe!
Wow turned out great! Might have to try on my bathroom countertop
*awesome diy love the look*
Looks great!!!!!
Excellent job!
You did a beautiful job on the veining. It really looks like marble. Great project. 😊
This is the best DIY I’ve seen!
Ty so much! I love this video the way you explained so clearly and in a fun way! The best easy to understand home improvement video haha.
Ok so this was the best video and results that I have seen on this thing called CZcams. Thanks for giving me an extra boost of confidence to do this. I am very artistic and tend to try my hand at a lot of things but I have never made a faux marble top before. I'm going to make one change to mine and that's instead of the epoxy I'm going to use polycrylic as the top coat due to drying time and ease of use. Thanks Sis for the video the water bottle spray is genius. 😘❤️👏🏽
Great veining idea! Thank you! Interesting
I'm inspired - thank you!
Very nice job. Thank you soo much for sharing.
Awesome!!!!
Omg I love it I will try it and tag you girl thanks for the tips💜
OMG. Love it!
Great technique.
You did an amazing job
You’re awesome!! Thank you so much!
You did an amazing job unlike I did the vaine's!! Outstanding job!!
And what a lucky mother to have you looking out for her!💞
Love that this was without a kit!! The kits are sooooo expensive :/
Right!! I knew there was a way I could
Do it and buy everything separately
@@TheRachelThomasLife great job! would you mind saying how much you spent, to compare with the kit? also, did you thin out the grey paint for the veins?
I spent a little less because I had the primer and paint on hand since I was working on other renovation. But to purchase everything new it would be $20 for primer, $10 for base paint, $1 for the grey paint, and $60 per gallon of epoxy (our kitchen is big so I used two) if you used the brand I did but there are cheaper. So about $90 not including tarps tape and paintbrushes/ rollers which you can get for under $10. The kit that I saw online was $150 and I was going to need 2 of them which is why I knew I needed to find another way 😂
@@TheRachelThomasLife would you recommend a kit or do you think the materials you used were more effective? Also how are the counters holding up this far have you had any issues?
@@TheRachelThomasLife Hi....I really enjoyed your video and just painted my cabinets with the nuvo paint kit. I have 2 questions...can you use a sponge roller for topcoat? Also wondering can I use the nuvo paint I have left over, it's water-based and would match perfectly?
They turned out really nice…
Beautiful job!
Thank you!
Beautiful just like you!👍👍👍
Awesome !!!
Awesome thanks!
Great job!!!!
Great video and I also went to The University of North Texas!!! I will be trying this technique thank you!!
I just have to say, your hair is on point! I am in love with your hair. ❤️
I would love to have a kitchen like that!!
