Have you dreamed of having gorgeous marble countertops but don't want to spend a fortune? News 12's Christine Insinga shows us how to do it for less than $200 in this week's Escape to Home.

Full video: Learn how these homeowners created faux marble counters

Giani Marble Countertop Paint Kit (follow their directions - everything is included)

1. Clean counters;

2. Paint white - 2 coats;

3. Practice veining (watch YouTube videos, get real marble inspiration pics);

4. Vein the counters. Feather, pull, dab. Create areas of thicker and thinner, lighter and darker veins;

5. Dab veins with the highlighter provided to soften areas that are too uniform or dark;

6. Apply the self-leveling epoxy topcoat. Be generous. A thicker coat will last longer without chipping. This is when your counter will look like a finished counter - glossy, glasslike, and smooth.
