How to get the look of marble countertops for cheap!


I have always wanted marble counter tops, but didn't think they would ever be in my budget, until now!  You see, I saw an ad in a magazine for Rust-Oleum countertop transformations.  (A do it yourself kit to actually PAINT your counter to look like stone).  Interested, I checked out the website.  I was disappointed to see a limited selection of faux finishes, and no marble ones.

So I did my own search for faux marble, and found that Home Depot sells Formica 180fx Calacatta Marble laminate countertops !  I think they are only $16 per square foot.  Much cheaper than real marble counters!

  1. I've seen this & I'm really impressed by how well they have done the veining. I'm wondering if they could do a rounded edge to make it look even more like a solid surface.
