Check out this amazing kitchen counter refinish from Danika at Gorgeous Shiny Things (she likes shiny things too). She transformed her boring and not so pretty to look at (sorry Danika) laminate counters into an amazing marble masterpiece. Looks complicated, right? Wrong. Included in her how-to is an embedded video that shows you how to make those fabulously feathered marble veins. You won’t believe how simple it is. I didn’t.

Follow the link below to see for yourself…
