How about this idea, there are usually some places around larger towns and even smaller ones, that sell home cabinets, discarded wood, doors, paints etc. Try to find one of these, and go check them out, they sell countertops for a fraction of what new is, and a lot of times they are new, just overstocked and sold to these places for a fraction, and they may even be able to set you up with a local installer. Just an idea, I have one near me and I visit it on occasion just to check out what they have in stock. You may be surprised and find just what you are seeking for a good cost, because after you buy the paint , materials etc. So you are still going to have some money involved, this way you can weigh your options as well.
Well, that's a good idea, but I'm older and not in the best health, and neither is my husband so we try and keep the requirements for strenuous work within the limits of what we can do.
However, I did settle on a can of brush on, water based latex paint that the clerk at the Home Depot said was made for counter tops. I've had no complaints with it so far.
It turned out so well that I painted the inside of my shower too. I then layered two different colors over it with a sea sponge for a marble like look, adding some special, fine textured glitter into the last color. The result looks like a beautiful blue and white marble.
Thanks for your interest in my project. I will keep what you said in mind though, because I am preparing to hire someone to help me update and do some repairs in my guest bathroom.
