How To Paint Over Cultured Marble Counters, Floors and Bathtub Surrounds

Since I get so many questions on this topic, I thought I’d address them all here.

The marble in our Rhode Island home was an early nineties/late eighties dark green.

It was something we knew we wanted to change, but getting rid of this was going to take up a lot of our renovation budget.

We did a little research and learned we could paint over it with epoxy paint!

As you can see below, we also changed out the bathroom floors.
