    I would never attempt veining! You did a great job. The whole kitchen looks fabulous! I love it.

    I wouldn't believe that those countertops are paint and epoxy if I hadn't saw this video! They look really great!

    What a difference! You two should be really proud of yourselves and how the cabinets/counter turned out! Beautiful job and thanks for sharing with us...even the minor mistakes! Your kitchen looks so classic and clean now.

    I am blown away with your confidence to tackle what seems like a monumental task to me. Of course I am 72... haha. But this is absolutely amazing. Talk about sweat equity! Looking forward to the hardwood floors and see this kitchen decorated.

    Great job!
    This video goes to show that subscribers don’t care about all the new things or a $640 (on sale) coffee maker like Crystal Tara. Just because one is able to buy those things because their family got a $860 PPP loan, it isn’t relatable to a lot of people.
    You are relatable and your channel shows real value which is appreciated! Thank you!

    Not gonna lie, I was cringing when the veining first went on.... but after you applied the white, it looked AMAZING. This is by far the best faux marble job I have seen.

    Really great work and you did it all so fast! It took me weeks to do mine and I didn’t even do the counters! You go girl!
    I would suggest painting the base of the island black too and maybe painting the space between the glass block black too so it disappears more? Just suggestions for ya! Love you!

    • @LaurenNicholsen

      Great idea!! When you do the floors, I will try that!

  • @lifewithnikkifin

    To get the resin off certain areas of your appliances use a geat gun and a small scraper and be gentle but it will loosen up to remove it.

    At a previous house we did epoxy countertops over mdf as a temporary solution. It yellowed and felt plastic-y and also would stick to paper and labels of products that were left on the counter. When we got the house ready to sell we put in a laminate countertop from Lowe's without a backsplash and it was sooo much better. I wished I had gone with laminate from the beginning, because epoxy really didn't work out well for my family. When we sold we had several realtors ask what kind of material it was! All this to say, if you are undecided what to do check out the Stretta laminate from Lowes as a cheap alternative before you decide it's worth the work to do epoxy!
    The kitchen refresh really does look great though and hopefully it works out better for their family!

    Wow, what a change. Gorgeous! My new house has a tiny kitchen but I love it. I also kept the old oak cabinets but I painted them grey and added a marble look quartz countertop. Like you, I also have a slide out breadboard. That's my favorite part of the kitchen.

    Have you thought about removing the cabinets to the right of the stove and replacing them with windows? You have a bunch of storage and probably wouldn't really miss that storage space in the long run.

    What a beautiful transformation for your kitchen! I'm going to be painting my cabinets they are 38 years old. I'm nervous. They always say paint has to cure for 30 days. Did you find that that's why it came off with the tape? Has anyone used that Beyond paint is it pretty durable when it comes to kids? Are you having to touch up all the time? I have grandkids and bonus little ones that come over so I'm trying to figure out what would be my best option. I love your countertop. Mine is the old countertop that looks like Butcher Block but it isn't but it's countertop you can't destroy. I don't like it but I'm just wondering how cautious do you have to be with epoxy or do you not have to? I just think your kitchen is beautiful it is so much brighter great job the two of you

    Love this! I'm curious if you used the Beyond Paint sealer on your cabinets as well? It seems it's not necessary but I'm curious if you didn't use it if you've experienced any chipping of the paint? Looking to use Beyond Paint to paint our kitchen cabinets this summer - can't wait!

    You did such a great job, and way to go on using what you already have and making it better. One thing I’ve noticed, is that in all your videos, your voice volume is a lot lower than your music volume. So I constantly have to keep lowering the volume whenever the music plays, I was just wondering if there was a way that you could keep it consistent so my ears don’t get blasted 😬. I actually really enjoy listening to you, but often times I’ve had to mute, and just read the captions
