A little contact paper turns a boring hand-me-down storage piece into the star of this kitchen.This cupboard was left in our apartment by the previous renters, and is officially my Most-Hated Piece Of Furniture. Sure, it's practical, but it's also really worn-out and chipped.
I've been hiding it in a tucked-away corner behind the refrigerator ... but now I may have to rethink our kitchen layout, because: Ooh. I love it.
This rehab cost me exactly five dollars and took only a little more than five minutes.
Want to recreate it? All you need is:
-A sheet of contact paper in your chosen pattern...and...that's it.
-Scissors would be good.
-And an assistant would make the laying-down process slightly easier (contact paper has a tendency to ruffle up if you don't press it down perfectly evenly).
Just measure, trim to fit, and apply. And presto: Your Five-Dollar Furniture Facelift.
