Just like beauty, home DIY projects are in the eye of the beholder. That is, until he encountered an unprecedented amount of vitriolic attacks and actual death threats from the internet. Don't you believe us? Just ask Briya Shade. The home decor content creator has been making her dream kitchen a reality with her DIY efforts, and recently posted the project's most controversial move: covering his granite countertops with white paint.
“Ever since I moved in, these granite countertops have been the bane of my existence,” she explained in the video. “It always looks dirty, but I'm not sure if it's actually cleaned enough.” Between the Shades do She explains that while she wants to get rid of the granite permanently, replacing the countertop can be expensive. So, take a few swipes until you're ready to invest in the upgrade. Rust oleum paint and top coats are a budget-friendly way to try something new.
Shades may love the latest countertops, but the internet rage With her decision. “It took the earth millions of years to make that granite and you covered it with paint?” one commenter asked. “Actually, I'm horrified.” “How do you make a $3,000 granite countertop look like a $50 countertop,” another joked. A third simply wrote: “Painting on granite is psychotic.” In fact, one self-proclaimed paint expert commented, “No paint will adhere properly to polished granite.”
Schade said the unenthusiastic comments are just the tip of the iceberg. “I ended up infuriating millions of people online,” she said in a follow-up video. “The hate was a little dramatic at times.” In fact, she even asked viewers not to send “death threats” into her inbox. (Wow!)
Mr. Shade stands by his decision and claims that, contrary to popular belief, the paint adheres well and does not smudge. Plus, as she points out, you can always remove it with a scraper or paint remover if you want to try something new. Because that's the nature of DIY projects. The only thing that matters is your own opinion.
