Using that construction paper over the cabinets was a great idea. It will also help when it comes to removing the contact paper off the cabinets. Less mess, less stress sister!! ❤️👍 This is by far my favorite video on how to use contact paper for kitchen make overs. I wish there was a way to show you my before and after pics. I'm starting my kitchen make over today, and I'll be using your method. Hope to make you proud. 😊❤️👍
Thanks for the update. For those worried about residue - get you some "GOO GONE" cleaner! Problem solved. I loved your first video showing the process because I have similar cabinets with framed-etchings and I LOVED your tip for putting the poster paper over! It was the first video I saw that addressed that issue with an EASY solution. Also for folks who have had bad results in the past - they were probably using the wrong type of contact paper that's best suited for shelf lining - it's too thin for countertop use. (A little research is your friend!)
The poster board is BRILLIANT 🤩🥰☺️! I have the ugliest cabinets with ornate carvings. I had nooo idea how I'd be able to upgrade the look without paint, as I am also a renter. You've opened a whole new world of creativity for me. Thanks so much for sharing the wonderful job you did, along with the update!
That's what I did. We put it all the way around our sink. It kept getting water under the counter top and making the wood swell so we put white calking around the sink and it looks beautiful and helps so much.
I admire your creativity and patience with such a low cost material under the circumstance. People have to know that it is a temporary solution. It is a good one. With that cost, you can re do it after one year, two years or whenever you need. I would be careful with hot oil splash, for deep fries for instance, with the back splash because it will melt but other than that it will last for a while. Enjoy your kitchen : D and we will hear your report after one year!
For the back splash above the stove, I'm Mexican and cook with lots of oil and tomato sauce, is the paper stain resistant and easy to wipe away grease? Thanks in advance and thank you for the update video. ❤️
Hi, Thanks for the Update. Your kitchen looks Fabulous! My kitchen looked similar to your old kitchen. I have a self stick black marble floor with a hint of blue in it, along with white and silver. I wanted to keep my walls Semi-gloss White, Black fridge, white stove trimmed in black, but I did buy a white and gray marble vinyl self adhesive for my counter top. Now I was thinking about painting my bottom cabinets with the hint of blue on my bottom cabinets & do your method for the top of my cabinets? Also, I thought about mixed Subway tiles of light blue, medium gray, white & hint of black just for behind the stove & just use a vinyl Self stick removable paper on the wall around the counter wall as a backsplash. Just not sure of the pattern that would Pop? I thought of a Dollar Tree Self stick vinyl backspash that I could spray paint Silver & apply to the counter wall? I have 2 windows in my kitchen where I get a lot of natural light in my rented apartment. My mgmt doesn't mind if I do a DIY as long as I Upgrade at No expense to him and I can take it out the rent! Just wanted a thought from someone else? Thanks!
I am so glad that I found your video. I have the same cabinets but with screws and was unsure how to re do them. Now I can. Thank you for the great idea.
Hi & ❤.. juat saw your remodel video & went to find this one!!... 2 questions.. 1. Are your walls textured or completely flat? 2. What kind of mixer is that..(too 😍 cute)... & where do I get it? Thank you in advance... Kitchen looks like AWESOMENESS 😊❤❤
Randomly found your channel. And the first video where you did all this. Looks amazing!!! I know I tried to use contact paper on my cabinets and it pulled the clear coat varnish off of them.
We are moving to a larger condo very soon and the kitchen is modern but I don't like the cabinets color and I'd like a white marble backslash with match8ng counter tops. So I ordered on Amazon a bunch of options to try of contact paper vinyl made for kitchens. This video was so helpful. I will need to use the cabinet poster board technique u used. Thank u!!!
command strips could work for handles, just make sure to get the right ones. there's even some command strips that have handles on them. they work the same way as that paper does.
❤️❤️I love it I can’t believe it I think this is a sign ♥️♥️ I was literally going to paint my cabinets and kitchen tile & backsplash. I was at Walmart and their paint is I believe like $19.99 each. Oh and also with your stove cover. I was also going to buy one it was $80. I’m so happy now I can do it all my self and save money and. I will not get in trouble with my town house as well. (Renting) 🪴Thank you so much for doing your videos🪴
If removing the glue residue is similar to getting stickers off jars… I’ve rubbed oil/coconut oil on them and let them sit for a while… and the sticker and glue came off so easily 🤗
I was thinking if you wanted to snazz the upper doors up a bit you could also apply some removable wall art on top of the white. In your kitchen some small black design would look great. And you wouldn't have to do every door, just doing the smaller doors would be fine (or just the larger doors if you prefer), just to add some additional accent, without it looking too busy. Or if you wanted a touch of contrast maybe use a red wall art design or whatever color you like to give it a little pop. The artistic possibilities are endless...
Love this idea! I know you planned to do a removal of the liner video - about what time are you looking to have that up? I’m thinking about doing the same thing with my place but was curious how much adhesive residue is left behind (if any)?
I did mine before seeing this video... had it on for 2 years.. easy removal but a lot of glue leftover (sitting hot pots on counter smh) goo gone helped with most of the glue removal! I hope that helps
I haven't been able to find if anyone asked about the seam lifting on the countertop. I saw you addressed around the sink but how is the seam where the two separate pieces of paper meet? You did a wonderful job though! You made it look so easy and it really does look amazing for the amount of money you spent.
Thank you! Where the line meet are fine also no lifting at all. Since the kitchen appliances are placed in the back it covers where the line meets so it looks more natural I guess in a way.
Same! I hate my dish soap and stuff on my counters so I put it behind the faucet. I love how she put it in the mason jar. Just wonder if she made it with a big cutting board and shower caddy or bought it🤔 Think I'll make one with a cutting board and shower caddy 😊
This is awesome, I just posted questions on your application video. So this was very plesant to see. I actually have a new queation and my question is, where dod you get the lazy suzan? Thats the diameter of it? I like how it holds so much while savigng on space.
Hi, my stove, like yours is flush against the wall on the left side and that has burn marks because burner is too close to the wall. Do you have any ideas to combat this?
Contact paper (vinyl) after 20 or 30 years, it will not come off in one piece and might leave some glue. Cracking apart into thousands of pieces is a bigger problem. Don't put it over as a 2nd layer. Take off what is there first, before apply in ng.
@@blablabla82a if you’re not renting but doing renovations on a super cheap budget (say a granny flat) then the comment is relevant. Also, these hacks aren’t strictly limited to “rental apartment” makeovers.
I thought using the poster board was a great idea. I do have to say, this is only my 2nd time watching this channel, but in this video she seems super annoyed that people ask questions(which clearly tells me not to ask her questions in the future) I mean it is a DIY video and questions are kind of a compliment, right? I’m so impressed with how her kitchen came out! Looks fantastic. I don’t think I will watch anymore though because the level of annoyance , attitude, and disdain she appears to have towards her followers bothers me. Extremely beautiful job on the kitchen! Thanks for the ideas! 🙂
I get the feeling some of the comments may have been criticizing what she did. You know how negative people can be on youtube comments. I think she did a great job & the kitchen looks wonderful. People have to understand that this is removable vinyl adhesive so it won't have the durability of granite & tile. Duh! However, it is more than good enough in a room mainly used by two adults who keep the space tidy & clean and don't have pets jumping on the counters or scratching cabinet doors. For people who live with careless roommates, sloppy teenagers, or poorly trained (4-legged) animals this might not be the solution for them. People have to use some common sense in deciding if this kind of makeover could work for them.

Yesss. This just saved me from painting! My landlord is ok with it but this will be much easier (and cheaper!)
That's what I just posted.
Also fabric softener and water in a spray bottle, learned that from a home channel
Goo Gone is the shit. Great for removing price stickers from things.
The poster board is BRILLIANT 🤩🥰☺️! I have the ugliest cabinets with ornate carvings. I had nooo idea how I'd be able to upgrade the look without paint, as I am also a renter.

You can put some caulking around the sink it would cover the imperfections and also help with water getting underneath 👍😊
Thank you!❤️

Good news, that hot oil splash will actually not be any problem at all.
Thanks for doing the update, so helpful
I think it’s beautiful the way it is. It’s your place and should be how you like it. Great low-cost solutions to update a rental!
Thank you!❤️
I like the cabinets without knobs. They look sleek like that.
Spraying Lysol gets the residue off worked for me ☺️☺️
Just FYI, good product for removing sticky residue is Goo Gone. In a pinch, I have read that peanut butter also works.
Peanut butter also works pretty good on bread.
For the back splash above the stove, I'm Mexican and cook with lots of oil and tomato sauce, is the paper stain resistant and easy to wipe away grease? Thanks in advance and thank you for the update video. ❤️
You did so well, thank you so much for this video and the update. You’re really saving my life rn. Love your personality too!!!!
Aww thank you! I’m glad I could help ❤️

Wondering where you got the wooden piece that is covering your stove. Thanks! Very nice video.
I have the same one. Amazon
I love everything about what you’ve done to the kitchen! The backsplash is my favorite.
Thank you!❤️
I am so glad that I found your video. I have the same cabinets but with screws and was unsure how to re do them. Now I can. Thank you for the great idea.
I think what you did to your kitchen is brilliant! I need to try this somewhere in my home
Olive oil works well to get adhesive off and will shine the wood.
Hi & ❤.. juat saw your remodel video & went to find this one!!...
2 questions..
1. Are your walls textured or completely flat?
2. What kind of mixer is that..(too 😍 cute)... & where do I get it?
Thank you in advance...
Kitchen looks like AWESOMENESS 😊❤❤
These are some great ideas for a rental. You could possibly glue some drawer pulls with some E6000.
I was thinking of getting knobs for the cabinets just for looks because my cabinets are like hers as well. So gluing to the paper will really hold up?
@@gabrieladeuschle3596 with the right glue, I don't see why not.
E6000 will glue anything lol. It's just not a good glue to use on anything you'll be eating or drinking with for the chemicals they use.
Randomly found your channel. And the first video where you did all this. Looks amazing!!! I know I tried to use contact paper on my cabinets and it pulled the clear coat varnish off of them.
Lady, wow, you did a fantastic job. Such creativity. Thank you. Stay safe.
What is that thing call before you add the wallpaper on the cabinet?
Beautiful 🎉❤ Omgoshhhhh u inspired me .
You did an amazing job❤
I was thinking about the heat as well. My kitchen gets really hot because the sun hits that side of the house. Great video!
You are amazing!!
@BeautyisAgeless where did u get ur blinged out dish drying rack & your Mr & Mrs travel mugs?
The dish drying rack was a gift. My cousin got it in New York. The mugs are from Walmart.

No problem thank you and good luck with the move ❤️
I think the paper thing was pretty frickin genius…

Thank You. Sincerely -- Your detail and transparency are a relief, totally helpful, and well... totally helpful (did I say that already?)

Soy puertorriqueña y no se nada de tu idioma pero me gusta tus ideas gracias amiga 🙌
Hi, what happen if you put a hot pot on the surface of the countertop? will it melt? thanks
She said yes, it will melt or damage the paper. She showed pot mats she placed her pots on in the video here.
Why not watch the video before asking questions

That paper was GENIUS.🤯

Of course thank you glad I could help❤️
Omg I love the cutting board decoration behind your sink! Where did you purchase??
Same! I hate my dish soap and stuff on my counters so I put it behind the faucet. I love how she put it in the mason jar. Just wonder if she made it with a big cutting board and shower caddy or bought it🤔 Think I'll make one with a cutting board and shower caddy 😊
I saw some on Etsy!! Not exact but very similar.
Idk why am I just seen this but I actually got it from someone on Facebook market for $5. Thank you ❤️
I love your kitchen and your ideas, beautiful ✨
Thank you soo much…I have been waiting for this video🙏🏻very helpful
I’m so glad it was. Thank you❤️
This is awesome, I just posted questions on your application video. So this was very plesant to see. I actually have a new queation and my question is, where dod you get the lazy suzan? Thats the diameter of it? I like how it holds so much while savigng on space.
Great job with the contact paper! I love it !✨You should upload videos more often !
Thank you!❤️ yes I agree trying my best
Hi, my stove, like yours is flush against the wall on the left side and that has burn marks because burner is too close to the wall. Do you have any ideas to combat this?
Mine is the same with a tiny stove so close to the wall in a studio apt., no amount of scrubbing has been able to remove the cooking stains.
Good Idea! Beautiful
You did a fantastic job. So beautiful and chic.😃
You did an amazing work, and the update was really helpful. Thanks! :)

Who stays in an apartment for 30 years? These are 1-3 year temporary apartment hacks.

@@susiemac6295 Exactly.
This is amazing !!!!!
your amazing thank you
The stove clock is driving me insane!
Doors look better flat than without the grooves.
I have knobs, how would i put them back?
They should unscrew or have a screw in the back to take them off and replace. Or you could just use a zacto knife and cut around them.
I thought using the poster board was a great idea.

ppl forget to if you apply heat like a hair dryer it will come off w no residual
Omg I love your kitchen I went to Walmart and also Walmart online and I can’t find the backsplash going crazy looking at all Walmart 🤦♀️
Still renting?

Welcome ❤️

Why didn't you show the whole kitchen? So I could get the full effect of your design..
That is my whole kitchen.
Knobs are overrated.
