I recently removed the contact paper for anyone who was wondering how it was holding up. It held up amazingly, I just decided it was time since I have a baby on the way an we aren’t sure how much longer we will be living in this rental. So I put in the work now, while I can and I made a video on how I did it. Check it out!!! kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZW2u27aDdLfcmbg.html

Hello, thanks for the video. I want to install this on my rental kitchen cabinets but wanted to make sure if it doesn’t leave any mark or anything on the original wood cabinet. You said you removed it, so I thought you already saw how the before cabinets look right now. Is this contact paper removable? It doesn’t leave any marks or peeling when you remove it after using a long time? I really need to change my cabinets and wanted to make sure before. Thank you so much again for sharing. Happy to subscribe your channel.

For people questioning contact paper on the kitchen, it is very durable. The glue is similar to the kind they (3M) use for wall murals, door lettering, and similar products. So it's not going to peel unless you either peel it yourself or you've applied it incorrectly. It won't be affected by liquids, but you should certainly use caution with extremely hot dishware. No, a mug filled with coffee or tea is not going to damage it. If you set a pot that was just boiling on it, it will likely melt, but if you're going to invest a bit in some redesigning, it won't hurt you to buy a trivet. Add a little extra to your decor. They even sell some cute ones at the dollar tree.

Thanks 🙏🏽

I think for the counter id wanna get some wider roles so there arent so many different pieces. More of a seamless look. But this is great! Im def gunna do my cupboards i just wish my cupboards didnt have all the bevels and routing in them. Ill probably change up the knobs too.

All she had to do was put it on full length,still looked all right.

My Apt has no medicine cabinet so I purchased Dollar Tree contact paper & a $5 CD laminate stand from the thrift store, I covered the stand with a very cool white & gray contact paper & now I store all my toiletries there with several Dollar Tree plastic containers. Now my granddaughter's know exactly where Grandma's scrungies & brushes are kept. 😁

Amazing! Thank you for posting. I am moving into a rental in three weeks and while I love it, the kitchen is not my taste. This is the perfect color combo. I was an army wife for 20 years and have been contact paper counter tops since 1994, but I haven't done cabinets. Your look better than I imagined!

I contacted my kitchen cabinets 40 years ago. I only did the door fronts in dark wood grain and left the trim in white so it was much easier. My brother thought we got new kitchen cabinets when he saw it for the first time.

your landlored just may want you to leave that paper, it looks so good.

This video can serve as your portfolio for all future rentals. Show this to management and let them see how good your work is and TRUST ME they will TRUST YOU..Its FREE improvement on YOUR DIME.

That video has brought me back to 1997 when I had the same project as a newlywed. I used “white wood” paper for cabinets and “marble” paper for countertops... Scandinavian style on budget.

WOW - that’s a ton of work you put in!! I’ve watched a million and one videos about updating kitchen cabinets and counters and this is the first time that I’ve seen a kitchen that is EXACTLY like mine. Exact same cabinets and counters. Thanks so much for sharing your experience!

I love this! I've rented for over 25 yrs. And we have moved into some really ugly places! Contact paper is genius! You can cover paneling on walls. They make contact paper that looks like shiplap You can get some that look like brick. You can use it to cover old vinyl floors.And use as wallpaper. Its fabulous

Omg wowww it looks so bomb! I'm definitely doing this to my apartment!!

I sincerely applaud your vision and tenacity. Bravo! Completed project is beyond perfection!

The faux black wood print with the marble print is the best mix of prints I’ve seen on KZread and I will definitely be stealing for my apartment 😍😍😍

My mom use to cover things like that back in the day 70s you did a good job

In doing your counter tops do the main flat area first then go back to do the backsplash section. Follow up with a nice thin line of caulking. This allows for a solid piece of contact paper on the counter area that has a lot of use. Doing this way will stand up longer to daily use.

WOW that brightened up your kitchen, the old wood color was making it really yellow and dark. So much better, beautiful kitchen.

I hope the landlord really appreciates what you did. What a patience of saint doing that.

I just received my contact paper for my kitchen countertop and kitchen cabinets. Updating our double-wide, very exciting. I've watched this video probably an uncountable amount of times. love the music too. great job, i can honestly say i was inspired. simple and affordable but still nice looking. thanks for sharing.

Well now, because of you & this video, I have something to fall back - black wood contact paper! Thanks!! Your kitchen looks amazing!

YESSS THIS GAVE ME LIFE I WORRIED ABOUT THE BLACK AT FIRST....DID THE DAMN THING LOVE

Wow. You did an incredible job of transforming that kitchen.

How does the contact paper hold up when you're cooking/spilling? I'd love to try this on my outdated kitchen and also for my bathroom.

Wow an amazing difference. before, shameful rental. after gorgeous!

You are my saving grace... live the music. Thank you. To heck with painting!!! Yeah.👍🥂🎉

Googled black contact paper cabinets and found this video only to realize I’ve seen this house before!!! lol loved there a few years back! Love what you did!

Those cabinets are everything...love it!!! I would spray paint the appliances metalic silver...boom!!! New kitchen...

I love it now you should add a pill and stick back splash get the subway tile one 🥰🥰🥰

I love the complete makeover ! You for sure have the patience of Job ! LOL You rocked that makeover !!!

Wow,👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 im exhausted watching u put all that work in!! Great job! This will be very helful to people who rent or just want to spice up their home.

The cabinets really look good.

Amaziiiiiing. Time for me to go buy some contact paper too. Noticed they have so many types of designs of contact paper on amazon. Love the marble contact paper design..looking at some now. The quickest and easiest way to change kitchen designs without paying a fortune. And the contact paper is there for the long haul till u decide to remove it. Waterproof and everything. Love it

Cool! It seems like you had a lot of seams did you have any trouble with the counter paper lifting anywhere?

I’ve never seen anyone use the wood grain contact paper. It looks fabulous on your cabinets! I have manufactured home cabinets and they’re 🤮! What a great idea to cover them! Your transformation looks beautiful! Your hard work paid off.

loved the black cabinets and wood counter

Just laughing because your rental has different colored cabinets, so sorry you had to deal with that, but you did an amazing job revamping it!!! 💕💕💕

You did a great job. You should be proud of yourself. Well done 👏

Good job. You gave that kitchen life ❤️

First off, great playlist! Second, you did a great job on this kitchen!

Looks Beautiful!!! I Love the Black Wood Contact Paper.

I appreciate your How To. Methodically covering the various angled, curved, smooth and sharp-edged main surfaces and borders/trim pieces. I'm looking forward to my first attempt. I'm not expecting to replicate your results, this is my first time.

Omg girl ! What a transformation !! It looks absolutely beautiful !! Great job !!!

I have these exact cabinets. I can't wait to do this!

The cabinets are gorgeous! Never saw that done before!

That kitchen looks so much better what a great job.! The only thing is you need to measure and mark your places then cut and if you do it this way you won’t have to do patch work because you will be cutting to your measurements you just took. And it will fit better and you will have larger pieces for your countertops like your cabinets. But it really is a great transformation in that kitchen. And the colors you choose are perfect.

Just be careful with putting anything too hot on the surface! It can burn through the paper- but if you want to keep it you can always pour resin over it and then it should be fine with any hot pots or things on it!:)))

For the people who are BIH-CHING about the way she put the paper on, she has to remove it when she leaves. So why would she make it perfect when it will be taken down. 🙄 Work smarter not harder. Btw it looks beautiful. You’re doing an awesome job of informing us and teaching us new life hacks. 🥰

Everyone should always check with the landlord before doing any change like this in the apartment using contact paper. Although you say it can be removed doing so leaves behind a sticky residue and can be considered as damaging the rental unit.

Wow, that transformation was lovely. I recently used contact paper to update my table, and I love it. I used the faux marble one. I was contemplating using it on my countertops because I wasn’t sure how durable it would be near the sink due to water . But it seems it holds up nicely. You inspired me! ❤️❤️❤️ (new subscriber ☺️)

Omg I did my counter marble to I wanted to do my cabinets black but I was kinda SCARED until I saw your video thank you for doing this video It inspired me to do my cabinets black thank you so much for this video

Thanks you helped me cover my countertops! I also did it at our church building.

You did an amazingly awesome job. TFS! BTW! Love Love Love your Playlist lady 👍🏾😎👌🏾👏🏾💯❤️

It’s funny because this is EXACTLY how my apartment countertops and cabinets look in my rental(your before). Gives me hope! I just don’t know how it would look once I opened the cabinets and drawers though.. I’m on the fence

Wow! You did that! Love it!

That definitely looks like the quality brand from Amazon. I ordered the cheaper Heroad black wood grain wallpaper first and I learned that you get what you pay for. The paper was extremely thin and tore easily, plus had a very dull finish. So I ordered another batch from Abyssaly and what a difference! Much thicker and had texture and a little shine to it (plus a lot easier to work with!

She’s covering those countertops and I’m over here hoping my next rental has those because they’re my favorite 😍

I love black!! I painted once my rental black cabinets..and just left it like that when i moved out...putting paper is time consuming more then just painting them really fast but nicely

Amazing job !!! You are cautious & patience getting everything to look wrinkle free .. looks wonderful..Ty for sharing.

This is so beautiful! Very well done. You have patience of steel 😂 love the colors and textures you chose

Excellent transformation!

It came out really nice. Maybe on your next project you can do stainless steel paper for your dishwasher.

I can tell you worked hard on this and you did an amazing job 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Live and learn. Sooo much work!! And then to remove it in 5 and half months!! Taking off hinges!! LOT OF WORK!!!

Starting at 10:06 is how you should have done all of the countertops. One Continuous piece for back to front. And never a one to two inch wide strip at sink or front edges. Hoping they don't peel off.

Love your motivation and drive to make your space look so much more attractive .. beautiful job and the paper looks just like real wood. Thank you for sharing your hard work and success. New subscriber..
