A system, kit, and method of resurfacing and/or embellishing a surface is provided. The kit includes a plurality of materials, such as cleaner, primer, adhesive, paper, and sealer. Each material is provided in a quantity for covering a pre-determined area such that the kit is capable of refinishing and/or embellishing a surface having a size equal to the pre-determined area. The kit also includes tools for refinishing and/or embellishing the surface. The method includes cleaning and priming the surface, cutting and/or tearing paper, adhering the paper to the primed surface, and sealing the paper between the surface and a sealer layer. The system and method enables a user to resurface a variety of surfaces, including surfaces that include a variety of edges, corners, curves, and/or recessed areas, enabling the user to transform the appearance of the surface so that it resembles a more expensive surface, such as natural stone.

1. A kit for refinishing a surface, the kit comprising: a priming fluid container for holding a pre-determined volume of priming fluid, the priming fluid being capable of creating a primer layer that is secured to the surface;an adhesive container for holding a pre-determined volume of adhesive, the adhesive being compatible with the priming fluid so as to enable the adhesive to adhere to the primer layer;a pre-determined amount of paper, the paper being compatible with the adhesive so as to enable the adhesive to adhere the paper to the primer layer, thereby creating a paper layer; anda sealing fluid container for holding a pre-determined amount of sealing fluid, the sealing fluid being compatible with the paper, the adhesive, and the priming fluid so as to enable the sealing fluid to create a sealing layer to protect the paper layer by sealing the paper layer between the surface and the sealing layer;wherein the sealing layer is translucent such that light traveling through the sealing layer is able to reflect off of the paper layer so as to provide a generally three-dimensional appearance that is reminiscent of the appearance of natural stone. 2. The kit of claim 1, wherein the surface is a surface of one of a countertop, a floor, a wall, a column, a pillar, or furniture. 3. The kit of claim 1, further comprising a paper smoother for smoothing paper relative to the surface prior to sealing the paper between the sealing layer and the surface. 4. The kit of claim 1, further comprising a roller and a roller pan, the roller being configured to apply sealing fluid to the paper layer and the roller pan being configured to pool a volume of sealing fluid at one or more location so as to enable a user to collect an amount of sealing fluid on the roller so that the sealing fluid can be applied to the paper layer. 5. The kit of claim 1, wherein the pre-determined amount of paper correlates with a pre-determined surface area dimension. 6. The kit of claim 5, wherein the pre-determined volumes of priming fluid, adhesive, and sealing fluid each correlate with the pre-determined surface area dimension. 7. The kit of claim 1, wherein the paper is painted or otherwise imprinted to include a pattern that resembles a natural stone. 8. The kit of claim 7, wherein the paper resembles the appearance of granite. 9. A method of refinishing a surface, the method including: cleaning the surface with a cleaning fluid;applying a priming fluid to the surface;allowing the priming fluid to cure so as to create a primer layer that is secured to the surface;utilizing adhesive to secure a plurality of paper pieces to the primer layer of the surface;applying sealing fluid over the paper;allowing the sealing fluid to cure so as to create a sealing layer that seals the paper between the surface and the sealing layer;wherein the sealing layer is translucent such that light traveling through the sealing layer is able to reflect off of the paper so as to provide a generally three-dimensional appearance that is reminiscent of the appearance of natural stone. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the surface is a surface of one of a countertop, a floor, a wall, a column, a pillar, or furniture. 11. The method of claim 9, further comprising tearing the edges of the paper so as to give the paper a more natural appearance. 12. The method of claim 9, further comprising smoothing the paper relative to the surface prior to the applying sealing fluid step. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the smoothing step is accomplished with a paper smoother. 14. The method of claim 9, further comprising wrapping the paper around a corner. 15. The method of claim 9, further comprising wrapping the paper into a recessed area of the surface. 16. The method of claim 9, further comprising wrapping the paper around a curve of the surface. 17. The method of claim 9, further comprising wrapping the paper into a curve of the surface. 18. The method of claim 9, wherein the applying sealing fluid step includes using a roller to transfer sealing fluid from a roller tray to the paper. 19. The method of claim 9, wherein the paper is painted or otherwise imprinted to include a pattern that resembles a natural stone. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein the paper resembles the appearance of granite.
