Bathroom Counter Tops Makeover using Paper Illusions

February 15th, 2008 · 2 Comments ·

Countertops covered with Florentine Marble Stone Paper Illusion

“When I first found your Wall Paper Illusions I thought what a great idea, so I ordered two different mini-rolls to see which one would look best in our small guest bathroom.

“I’ll be honest with you, I was skeptical about starting the project. Even as boring the current cultured marble counter top looked, I wasn’t ready to ruin it.

“Looking at the roll of paper doesn’t give you any idea of how the actual torn and pasted final results will be. I ended up using the Florentine Illusion in Marble Stone.

“I did lightly sand, clean and prime the counter, then let the paper dry over night. I wanted it water tight so I put on four coats of water-based matte finish polyurethane. I am so very pleased with the look that I wanted to share before and after photos with you. I can’t believe it’s…wallpaper!

    Wow! That’s a great idea. I feel the same way you do. But, it’s…wallpaper! And it looks great. I would imagine that you would have to be very careful not to have any air bubbles. But, that’s beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
