ABOUT THIS EPISODE
We're back with another renter-friendly kitchen makeover on a budget. This time we're going all in with this colorful, patternful, maximalist tropical dream for comedian Debra Digiovanni. But to make it come to life, we had to come up with some clever renter-friendly workarounds. (We didn't just contact paper the cabinets-we transformed them with paintable wallpaper). The total cost? $267. Oh baby, welcome to this jungle (this very cheap jungle).

The tip to cut irregular Is great, I learned it 74 years ago watching my great aunt wall paper. It came in handy 30 years later when I did a vinyl wall covering for my MIL's kitchen. The last strip was too short. The vinyl was purchased at a closeout and I had purchased the last. Grabbed a scrap, did an irregular cut and nobody including MIL and hubby noticed.

Seconding the idea of virtual design sessions! My partner and I just bought a condo, and the kitchen needs updating but we don’t have the budget for it, so I’ve been watching your ‘renter friendly’ makeovers for ideas about a quick and inexpensive kitchen refresh to make it livable until I can afford to renovate. Also I watched the hell out of Video on Trial in high school and Debra was also my favourite

*sigh* If I wasn’t going to be moving out in probably less than 6 months, I’d go nuts redoing my rental kitchen. We’ve got ugly dark brown veneer cabinets & kitchen tile with crumbling grout - but the landlord refuses to fix anything unless it’s something we could call the health department about. Apparently, grout doesn’t count. 🤷♀️ But, wherever we end up next, I’m going to be sure to “prettify” my space right away using renter friendly hacks. I even plan on using my Cricut to make removable wall decals (where wallpaper is not as practical.) Also, I love your goofy sense of humor! I totally get your vibe & hope you keep on with your channel so I can tune in whenever I need a giggle.🥰

Thank you for asking! And I should have been very specific/much clearer in this one. No, I wouldn’t use contact paper on painted cabinets. The adhesive is too strong. I used the paintable peel-and-stick wallpaper because it is wallpaper meant to be removed from painted walls (although they say you’re not supposed to use it on flat paint, so make sure to read manufacturer directions). If you’re super worried about any paint peeling, another no-damage hack is to use liquid starch and fabric. Here’s a link for that: sewbeckyjo.com/starch-fabric-kitchen-cabinets-tutorial/

She should be able to peel the paper/tiles up easily (caulk or not), but if any part is particularly stubborn, she can score the caulk with a utility knife. But it’s such a thin line it won’t put up much of a fight. 🙂
You talk about contact papering cupboards/cabinets in several of your renter friendly videos….isn’t the contact paper permanent? That doesn’t peel off, right? Curious how it’s renter friendly…cuz I’m a renter who’s tempted to try it 😂….
@LaughCryDIY
2 жыл бұрын
Ah, yes. So here are my thoughts. -Actual contact papering is fine for non-painted cabinets (like laminate). There can be residue to scrub off but it doesn’t damage (in my experience, as I have contact papered my own bathroom cabinets). -peel-and-stick wallpaper is better for painted surfaces because it’s meant to be impermanent and removed from painted walls (except flat paint). But, you know, there’s always a chance there *might* be a chip or two. -If you want an absolute fail safe, liquid starch and fabric can be used to wallpaper! sewbeckyjo.com/starch-fabric-kitchen-cabinets-tutorial/

One thing I didn’t mention, which I should have, is that It’s actually important to use peel-and-stick wallpaper on painted surfaces (instead of contact paper) because it is made to be taken off of a painted surface (and has a different adhesive). Only caveat is to not use the peel-and-stick if you have cabinets painted with flat paint (which I can’t imagine you would).
