Faux Finish Countertop

There used to be a full-size range in this kitchen, however, this client decided it was no longer needed and only wanted an in-cabinet oven.

This MDF countertop was a cost-effective solution to installing actual stone to cover the original opening. It also allows for easier converting back to a full size stove.

This is where a seasoned faux finisher comes in to create the illusion of stone. A semi-gloss white was used as a base, and over it, meticulously hand painted light gray veining was done to the entire surface to match the stone as close as possible. The large veins were incorporated as a continuation of the patterns from the countertops and backsplash adjacent to it.

To protect the finished work, it is always recommended to clear coat with a urethane product, so three coats were sprayed on to achieve the final look.

Stand-offs were installed for a glass top to sit atop and complete the look.
