One issue I had a bit of trouble with was the feathering brush loosing hairs, and having to pick them out along the way. I got the same brush you used, but it did shed more than I would have expected. I 'd post a photo of the finished table but don't know how.!

Painted the legs and other parts a deep gray. Made the top MDF part the marble.I did not do well with brushes and sponges but that feather gave me the veins that I was trying to paint. The feather painted a much better natural look.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2924563841080619298.post-89248255622643153192016-07-20T12:35:36.841-04:002016-07-20T12:35:36.841-04:00Just want to say thank you!

I went for a white granite and never posted such an in-depth how to before but was so excited with the results I had to share :)<br />http://everythingsbetterwithsparkles.wordpress.com/2014/08/10/a-dream-design-on-a-dime-faux-granite-better-than-the-real-thing/<br /><br />We've lived with ours for nearly 6 months now and they still wipe off great! We used Envirotex Lite as the sealant after all our research and for the commenters who mention preferring laminate - my old laminate countertops were such a pain! they were white and even stained with a water condensation ring from a cup! I prefer the new shiny coating much more it saves me so much time when cleaning. And my friends love how it turned out so much I've already got three begging me to do their kitchens as well! Maybe I will be able to take a video how to during the next one :)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing these!*Sparkles*https://www.blogger.com/profile/15067925719717189340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2924563841080619298.post-47510634714510559982014-08-17T13:14:23.640-04:002014-08-17T13:14:23.640-04:00This is so amazing!
