A couple weeks ago, I saw a video online where a young woman did a tutorial on how to put contact paper on a kitchen countertop. It looked like something even I could handle, and inexpensive, and it couldn't be worse than the 1972 countertops I have in place already. Sure, it probably won't stand up to water for more than a few months, but it's only me here, and I'm not sitting here pouring water onto the counters or anything like that. If worst comes to worst, just do it again -- I still have a whole roll of the stuff left over!
So, I gave it a try. If I do say so myself, I think they came out pretty good!! Each one took less than a half hour!

ReplyDeleteThat looks great from here! I'm fortunate to be married to a man who not only is handy, but a perfectionist. His motto is "If there's a how-to library book, I can do it". Yes, he learned to re-roof our house and install skylights once by checking out library books. (Electricity is the exception - only professionals for that). DIY is fun and you sure do learn a lot.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why I'm just seeing a bunch of comments on here today! I never replied, sorry. You are so lucky to have a handy guy!! I always have to ask someone else to do everything, and it costs $$$ just about every time! Lots of talented friends who help, but I always pay them. I wish I had learned how to do more. I did pretty good with the countertops, though!
