Transforming our unfinished StyleWell dining table is easier than you think. Apply a coat of white latex paint and primer like Behr Premium Plus with a brush and roller. Dilute the same paint for the second coat and dab it lightly on the tabletop with a sea sponge. To create the look of real marble, take an artist’s brush with a gray hue and paint veins. Soften the veins you’ve created by feathering them out with a dry, flat paintbrush. Let it all dry, seal it with epoxy and enjoy your marble look for less.
