I'm a huge fan of marble, but not a fan of the price tag! I was looking around online one day, and happened to stumble upon the perfect solution: peel and stick adhesive laminate. Now this is definitely not going to make your countertops look like true marble, but it looks very nice for the price!
Here's a table that I redid, it used to have a clear glass top and white bottom! I used the Duck laminate adhesive and cut off a section to put on the glass top.
I also put some on a counter top, here's that(you can see the dishwasher handle there).
And on top of a desk! As you can see it covers very well. This time I did it to cover a desk that I was using, but that I couldn't paint as I was just borrowing it. A tip for application is to use a card like a debit card or license to smooth it down as you go to avoid getting air bubbles. If you get one tiny air bubble but don't want to redo the whole thing, you may be able to pop it with a needle. Try to avoid small wrinkles as those can be hard to fix/get out!
Here's another picture of the table. It's not a huge renovation or anything, just a small trick I thought I'd share. It's really perfect for anything you don't want to permanently change or if you just want a cute marble look for relatively cheap. I got mine from for only 4.29+tax! Easy on the wallet thankfully and it really looks great in any room. Thanks for reading and feel free to leave any comments or questions below.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Looks great! Have you removed any of the liner yet? Just wondering how easy it comes off. Are different surfaces easier/harder to remove? I'm a renter am thinking about doing it on my formica kitchen countertops and would need to remove it when I move out. Thanks!!
