Painting Butcher Block Countertops. Newspaper for collecting spills. Instead of milk paint I used water-based stain after sanding the counters to remove the oil finish that they arrive with.
Hair bristle paint brush or paint roller. This paint kit claims to be a quick fun and easy way to transform your old countertops into one that looks like a butcher block. Masking tape for taping edges.
Polycrylic claims to be a protective topcoat which resists damage from abrasion scuffing chipping and water AND does NOT turn yellow over time as Polyurethane does.
This product only claims to help you get the aesthetic. A butcher block countertop has numerous advantages in addition to its classic style. Also oil-based stains are not a good idea or paint although the idea of painting a beautiful butcher block countertop would hide the woods and probably not something you are considering. When combined with the white walls they seemingly disappear which makes the kitchen appear bright and uncluttered.
