With our new cabinet color, I wanted to change our countertops as well. Someday we hope to have granite or quartz but right now that is not an option. I painted the cabinets and I saw a few examples of painting countertops floating around on the Internet so we decided to jump in and try it.

We used Zinnser primer to cover the existing color and I lightly sanded the surface before I applied it. Three coats later the countertop was covered and then my husband and I used acrylic paint with a sea sponge to add the design. It took about two hours to get the look we wanted buy we were pleased with the results. The colors we used were: Antique Parchment, Vanilla Ice Cream, Melted Chocolate, Lite Mocha, and Licorice. Then we put polycrylic on the top because polycrylic will not yellow but polyurethane will. I did five coats and so far they are holding up great.
