I’m at work, watching in between seeing patients (lol). I truly wondered how you were going to go about that corner, right of the stove. And after watching you tackle this, I AM INSPIRED!!! 🔥🙌🏽 So satisfying to see how you got around the sink, perfectly. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Hahaha glad to be your between patients entertainment 😆😆. To be honest I was NOT thinking that corner would be a challenge.. until it was 🤣. You have great foresight!!
You are inspiring. Not just for the DIY but also just in general. I have ADHD also and it's REALLY HARD sometimes to get things done and finished, but watching you really gives me a boost of motivation every time. Also until I saw your channel I never thought of diy as possible for me as a renter and now I'm super excited to fix things up to make ME HAPPY. THANK YOU!!!
We LOVE YOU DALIA!!! I so appreciate the camera angles on each step. So helpful to novices scared like me to do this. Watching you, I feel I could possibly do this! I had already tried to do this to a small bar and wish I used your techniques at that time. But... it still looks good in spite of my novice try and every AM I see it, it makes me smile. I'm glad you are doing this for a living. You are soooo smart! Good AM from America!
lol...I hear you girl. Remember when I told "I'm cleaning my fridge today" like weeks ago.... lol...I just did it yesterday. I'm proud of you cuz it took you weeks, not months, or a year... YOU GO DALIA DEAR!!
It turned out so great!! I did this to my counters and cabinets (in my bathroom and kitchen) at the beginning of last year and I love it! I got the kind that's made for countertops, and they don't stain, you can use whatever cleaning products you want with no problems. they still look like they did the day that I applied them. I also got 1 big roll and didn't even use most of it. oh, I did use clear caulking around the sinks, just to be on the safe side.
I love this! I just moved into my own place and my kitchen counters are just as dark and I don’t even want to cook in there 😂 this has inspired me so much, thank you! 🤍🙌🏻☺️
I saw the short clip of this a few days ago and was so excited to see the full reveal! I just started watching the video, but I’m sure it will turn out amazing!!! Love all that you do! ❤️
I'm so late. Apologies. This was so calming. Enjoyed watching every bit. I know the feeling of not knowing if your counter is clean. Constantly running my hand along top. It's a beautiful job... as always. ⚘
Wow !! What a difference this makes and it feels so fresh. I really admire how you think everything through until you are satisfied with how a project will progress. And you patience pays off in having completed a very professional looking job- excellent. I really love your channel and I am learning so much! 🥰😊❤️☀️🦩
The brighter countertops look so good and those, coupled with the already white appliances, give your kitchen a lighter and fresher vibe. The pattern was a solid choice. Shout out to the Tim's gift card you were using lol a handy little tool
Wow congratulations!! 😊❤ I have the same problem in my rental, though mine is aged and light with pot burn marks from the previous tenant. I must admit using vinyl scares me a little, with the worry of bubbles and not aligning it perfectly to the one before but you have totally inspired me to give it a go. Thankyou ❤ Your transformation looks amazing and soooo impressed you handled it solo. New subscriber here ❤.
Dalia, I'm 70 y/o. What I want to say doesn't fit with this vido. It about all the vido you have made that I have seen. In my 20's (in early 70's) I was diagnosed with dyslexia (ADHD was not talked about at that time), therefore I feel like I understand you. You spoke of not feeling your chronological age. I also have felt and still do feel my feelings don't match chronolical age. I think it keep you young and help when you get old. When I was in teens I knew I wouldn't wouldn't be ready for children until my 30's. My one and only daughter was born when I was 30. Looking back, I wish that I had waited a five or more years befor having her. Stay creative, don't rush life. I enjoy your work. Don't force doing work (if you finacely can). When children come you will be doing things on their time line not yours. Enjoy life where you are NOW! Don't rush life!
I love the music you have in the background. I can't think of the genre it is. Maybe folk? 🤷🏼♀️. Who are some of the artists in your play track, please? You are very inspiring to watch. You take your time and do a great job. You're not afraid to tackle the unknown. 👍 I am 64, and I own my condo. I would love to update my kitchen, and doing it renter style is good because if I want to change it later, I can. I am watching you from Florida, USA 🇺🇸 I'm proud of you.😊
Wow. Looks so much brighter. Great job! Last year I put "concrete" peel and stick on my counters and I wish I had known about the card trick. I didn't do a great job around the sink, but it looks so much better overall I've learned to ignore it.
Absolutely brighter n happier...dnt knw if that makes sense....but after all great job 👏🏻 especially with that little corner...more kitchen videos!!😀.yay..💕
I love when you get lost in your thoughts on camera....I used to edit mine out but now that I see how adorable it is, maybe I'll stop feeling so self conscious about it if it's only for a few seconds.
The good thing is that it matches your appliances, so it looks great. I think you need to put some black accents in the kitchen so it matches the black handles and than it would harmonise.
Love it Dahlia the counter top came out so beautiful. I hope you and hubby are doing well. Looking forward to seeing what you do next with your kitchen. 😊👍🏾
I think you did a beautiful job! I have several different rolls of contact paper saved currently for my kitchen because I can’t pick one. 🙈 I know I just need to make a decision, and this was the push I needed!
yes girl do it!! What I don't think I mentioned in this video... I also had 2 other kinds of contact paper in my closet that I ordered months ago but like you - couldn't decide on what to do 🤣 you're not alone!
I literally did my counters and table with this exact contact paper last month. I remember some reviews complaining about the different tones. I only had to order two rolls ( not much counter space) .
I am about to do this to my counters and I can decide if I should roll the paper out completely horizontal (long ways down the island) or do them in vertical sections like you did. Any suggestions?
Like Yarn, Contact Paper has a Serial Number, you should have looked, also here in England a very wide one is made so you can lay it lengthwise on a long surface.
I think I used 2 of the wider rolls (on the island part of the counter that I started out on) and 2 of the narrower rolls on the back counter. The narrower rolls were much easier to work with and cheaper, though! I'd probably have just gotten those if I were to do it again!
I have pine cabinets and I just ordered a matte black stone marble contact paper to cover our dated granite that always looks dirty!! Fingers crossed 🤞
Well damn You have done a good job it looks much better and it is much brighter Love to see the next joke you do this is Esther from Florida love to see more
This makes sense. I think I have to consider that for me kitchen. It's granite which is great but the color is not what I love. I'll consider the tone of my counter to determine what contact babe I get
I love that your channel is calm, I feel like a lot of DIY youtube is chaotic and loud, I appreciate your videos 💛
@Miranda DeMers Except the music.
A little too late, but just wanted to say thank you Miranda! 💕

PS/ Your kitchen looks soooo much brighter too!

Hell yeah, cleaning the fridge is an ordeal and a half. Go you!
It turned out so great!! I did this to my counters and cabinets (in my bathroom and kitchen) at the beginning of last year and I love it!

Oh wow, that's so smart! Thanks for the info. I had no idea that there was contact paper specifically for the counters. 👍🏻 enjoy a great and safe day
Can you share a link ?
Yes please share… what brand?
Please share a link 🙏
link please!
U are so sweet and smart! Counters look so nice and it is brighter in there. Excited for what's next. Glad you're happy with the project
Looks great! Would love to know how they end up holding up! Can't wait to see the backsplash and floor!
Thank you! Hope you had a chance to watch the backsplash and floor videos 😊
Funfact : I am from Spain and I have the same cabinets and the same brown-grey counter!
Your video will be so useful
Glad to be of help in Spain!!
Great card hack! Thanks for the tip around the sink.
I really like the way you work. You’re patient and think ahead. Your cuts are very proficient
Thanks Dalia, you have inspired me to tackle my own counter tops that I have been procrastinating about for weeks 😊❤
I had doubts, at first, but that really lightens and brightens the kitchen. Job well done!
Thanks Virginia!
I love this! I just moved into my own place and my kitchen counters are just as dark and I don’t even want to cook in there 😂 this has inspired me so much, thank you! 🤍🙌🏻☺️

Thank you so much! That really means a lot, especially because I feel like that process of thinking things through can take me a long time 🙈. 💞💞
Thank you for talking about the seams! I've always wondered about that
I love how your counters came out! ❤
My biggest worry is how I could get around the sink without messing it up
I love how your new touches look, I can’t wait to see what you do with the floor!
Usually I skip straight to the point but you talk so sweet I just kept listening to you 🫠
This was so helpful. You did a beautiful job. Thank you!
Wow! LOVED HOW you showed to do it around the sink. I tried it B4, was sooo hard, I quit.
Maybe there is hope....
Your counters look GREAT after your work. It really makes a huge difference in your kitchen. It even makes your cabinets look really nice too!
You did a great job. Looks great.
It looks SO MUCH brighter in your kitchen now! I love it!
Great job! I’m excited to see that back splash!!

I saw the short you posted and I couldn’t wait to see the video! Looks amazing!
Yay thanks so much 💞💞
it looks incredible!!!

I agree it does look way better. Very nice
Thanks Stephanie!
It looks better in that color!! Wow👍❤️
So much brighter! Great job especially by yourself!
The kitchen looks so much brighter already! I can't wait to see what you do with the backsplash and the floor.
I love the music you have in the background.
I can't think of the genre it is. Maybe folk? 🤷🏼♀️.
Who are some of the artists in your play track, please?
You are very inspiring to watch.
You take your time and do a great job.

It looks beautiful, Dalia! What a dramatic, bright difference... ❤️😁 Great job! 👍
Thanks Karina! 😊
You made that look it does brighten up the room.
Thank you!
Wow, what a transformation! So clean and bright! It looks amazing 😍
I love when you get lost in your thoughts on camera....I used to edit mine out but now that I see how adorable it is, maybe I'll stop feeling so self conscious about it if it's only for a few seconds.
Remarkable. I love this. Will actually do this in my kitchen.💖💖💖
The good thing is that it matches your appliances, so it looks great. I think you need to put some black accents in the kitchen so it matches the black handles and than it would harmonise.
Yes bc a dark color grounds the room
Love it Dahlia the counter top came out so beautiful. I hope you and hubby are doing well. Looking forward to seeing what you do next with your kitchen. 😊👍🏾
Looks so much brighter...well done 👍
this transformation is marvs!!!😊
thanks so much!!!❤️
Looks so much brighter 🤗
Looks great!
This particular paper replicates the look of terrazzo tile a beautiful tile that was used often in mid century style architecture! I
Love it! Well done. I wanna fast forward to the future to see what floor you choose. This was so satisfying to watch.
Good job. I had never thought about contact paper
Thank you!
Love your videos..you are so down to earth and very talented.
Sending love from south Africa
Thanks so much Lesley! ❤️
Lol, I like the speckled look.
Its quite young and refreshing
Great job!
Your videos are always so calming/relaxing to watch ❤️🇿🇦
Awh thanks so much. It really means a lot ❤️ 🇨🇦
It’s brighter! I’ve started my countertops but slacked off, now I will finish it!
How did it go?!
Very nice work,❤❤❤❤❤❤
Can’t wait to see the backsplash and flooring!!!
Hope you liked both the backsplash and flooring videos!!
My last apartment had a similar contact paper on a solid surface white counter. It was a nice upgrade for a reasonably priced apartment.
I think you did a beautiful job! I have several different rolls of contact paper saved currently for my kitchen because I can’t pick one. 🙈 I know I just need to make a decision, and this was the push I needed!
yes girl do it!! What I don't think I mentioned in this video... I also had 2 other kinds of contact paper in my closet that I ordered months ago but like you - couldn't decide on what to do 🤣 you're not alone!
Good 👍 your work makes me to buy for my kitchen a contact pepper
Nueva suscriptora,me encanta tu canal,los veré todos.
Great Job👍🏽
Looks amazing well done 👏
Agree totally! Great job.
I literally did my counters and table with this exact contact paper last month. I remember some reviews complaining about the different tones. I only had to order two rolls ( not much counter space) .
It looks great.
You did am amazing job.. wasn't sure how it would look, but it's beautiful!!
Thanks girl!!! 💕
Looks great👍😊❤️
Came out so Beautiful just like everything you do 🥰🥰 I’ve been thinking about doing this since my counter tops are ugly 😩😩😩 ty you for sharing!!!
Thank you so much for your kindness 🥰💞
Looks really good!
Thanks Marilyn!!
Thanks... i loved your video❤
I really want to try this on my laminate countertops in my rental apartment!
Wow that looks great . How is it holding up ? Did it leave any stains ?
I love love love 😊
I am about to do this to my counters and I can decide if I should roll the paper out completely horizontal (long ways down the island) or do them in vertical sections like you did. Any suggestions?
Which did you decide? How did it turn out? I'm stuck trying to decide between the two.
Nice Job!
I'm loving the music you have chosen. Where can I find it? Was hoping to find it in your show notes. Good job and thank you.
Clearly nobody ever told you that you "couldn't" do anything, cause you'd just do it! Very Canadian, from one Canadian handy-girl to another, kudos.
Like Yarn, Contact Paper has a Serial Number, you should have looked, also here in England a very wide one is made so you can lay it lengthwise on a long surface.
Great job👌
Thanks Glenda!
How are they holding up?
I’m curious about this too!
You're awesome. How many rolls did you end up using? And where did you use the longest rolls? Thanks in advance
I think I used 2 of the wider rolls (on the island part of the counter that I started out on) and 2 of the narrower rolls on the back counter. The narrower rolls were much easier to work with and cheaper, though! I'd probably have just gotten those if I were to do it again!
Video starts at 6:40!
I have pine cabinets and I just ordered a matte black stone marble contact paper to cover our dated granite that always looks dirty!! Fingers crossed 🤞
How did you do the where the countertop wraps around from the fridge side to the stove side?
Love it 😍
Hi js wondering can we take it out easily incase we change our mind ? Leaving no stains on the actual counters?
You did an amazing job with the edges. You’re a naturally handy person. Where did you get those cool printed dresses??
Fantastic job!
How has it held up? Do you think caulking around sink is necessary for water not to get under?
The way you say progress and process I saus she has to be from Canada and then you mentioned it lol...love your page
Did you overlap the seams or how did you line them up so precisely
Well damn You have done a good job it looks much better and it is much brighter Love to see the next joke you do this is Esther from Florida love to see more
I remember seeing how difficult it was to remove from your last place. Surprised you still went for it again. Guess it must have still been worth it?
good job!
This makes sense. I think I have to consider that for me kitchen. It's granite which is great but the color is not what I love. I'll consider the tone of my counter to determine what contact babe I get
Turned out amazing girl!! Did it ever brighten up the space. Great job!
