The beauty of a rugged stone finish... is you can touch it up easily. Of course you will want to "seal the deal" with several layers of polycyclic sealer (found in the wood refinishing aisle). You can get polycyclic in a flat finish now which would work perfectly. If you prep walls – and use a durable finish of paint (NOT Flat) then it will surly hold up to ton’s of wear and tear.

We have a bar in basement with brown laminate counters. What I'd like to do is create a stone effect. Can I use the texture paint from Behr, that you recommend for your tuscan walls? If I TSP, sand, clean and prime before application do you think it will hold up? Thanks for your insights Heather Love your site, it is so helpful.

You will need to sand the poly with fine grit sandpaper and then roll on another coat. Test this process on a corner of the counter that will be covered by something... like the coffee pot. You will have more confidence if you work out the process on a hidden area first. :0) Good luck - Debra THAT painter Lady Wooops Joje…
