According to the woman, who is currently renovating her 1970s parsonage, not only was the granite a nightmare to care for, but it was also ‘difficult to keep looking clean’.
Although in an ideal world she would rather replace them completely, Breeya had to come up with a cheaper alternative because she still saves money.
Instead, Breeya, believed to be from the US, decided to paint over the granite with a special ‘marble countertop sealant’.
However, the DIY enthusiast was convinced that she would not be able to achieve the desired effect and stuck to a simple white background.
Sharing the makeover her pagesaid the woman, ”My ultimate plan is to replace them completely one day, but until we can save enough $$, this paint will do the job!
”I used @rust-Oleum marble countertop set, but I haven’t attempted marble veining because I know myself well enough to know that I wouldn’t like the faux marble look.”
According to Breeya, who said that the original granite look was the ‘bane’ of her ‘existence’, she was also not worried about the criticism that came her way.
“I don’t care what the haters say. This paint works so well and seemed durable enough.”
But while the crafty woman may have been over the moon with the transformation, social media trolls were anything but impressed.
Hundreds rushed to the comments in sheer horror, sharing their thoughts on the new worksheets.
One judged: “Granite painting is psychotic behavior.”
Someone else agreed, adding, “It’s hard to bring down the value of a house these days, but damn, she did it tenfold.”
Another implored: “You have a hidden talent. Please keep it hidden.”
”Painting granite?!?! Straight to jail,” a fourth couldn’t believe his eyes.
Fortunately, it wasn’t all negative feedback, as there were also those who praised Breeya.
”Well done! All these people worrying about your kitchen when it’s YOUR kitchen. I think it looks great, love!” one fan hit back at the mean people.
Another thought she made the right choice by painting the countertops and writing: ‘Granite is really that ugly.’
Someone else was completely baffled: “I don’t understand how people can get so concerned about how someone else decorates and renovates THEIR house.”
