      That looks like an interesting project. I have always wondered if adhesive vinyl could be used to cover more than a table top. I cover cardboard with clear vinyl and use it for my craft mat. 😁

      Looks great! Were the small spots on the top drawer from bubbles? Flaws in the wood? Was this a special heavy duty contact paper or just regular? I would be concerned about it tearing too easily. I have a hutch that was one of those press board kits. Most of it has a white laminate that is very durable. Some parts, not so much. Thanks for sharing. 😊❤️

    I have a lovely three-door wardrobe with two dark purple doors. They fit my last house bedroom fine because the room was so big, but in my new house the bedroom is too small to take the dark colour. So I reviewed my options and decided to try contact paper. I bought two rolls off of Amazon of white marble. I was a bit nervous but it took a few mins per door and was super easy, and they look amazing, you'd never know from looking at the front that it wasn't its original finish. I intend to do this to other furniture, much cheaper than replacing what you have already.

    I just covered all our cabinets at our hunting cabin with contact paper. I'm hoping the difference in heat and cold doesn't cause it to fall off. It made a HUGE difference. It was the icky brown oak finish with so much damage, now it has the gray/brown/black barnwood look. I painted the bases black and only covered the doors and drawers.

      It is very hit or miss with the cabinets. I have two pretty close to me... one of them had a truck load of gently used cabinets and they were creating 'mock' kitchens in the warehouse. It was so cool!

    I haven't used contact paper since I helped my mom cover some furniture in the early 70s! Apparently I need to revisit contact paper!

    The contact paper was a great idea, and looks really good. FYI: For a job like this, when the wood is in good shape, and you just need to get the shine off of it so paint will stick, get a chemical deglosser instead.

    I used contact paper for the top of a bedside table I was using temporarily, which turned out to be a very long time. The paper started getting worn in places, so I wanted to do it over, but I wanted to take it all up and put down another design. What a PITA! I found the best way to take it off without damaging what was underneath (or as little as possible) was to use a hair dryer to lift one edge, then aim the dryer at the bottom of the part I was taking off, and lift carefully and slowly. It still took some finish off, so I decided to just repaint the top.

    I have a core door on top of 2 ikea adjustable height trestle legs for my desk. I got tired of its rough surface and covered it in the dollar tree black rose contact paper. I had to add extra tape underneath for it to stay put and overlap in some spots but I love the smoothness and prettiness of it. Your file cabinets are awesome!

    I've just redone my rental's kitchen with butcher's block wood effect contact paper. It looks amazing. I cut it roughly to shape first with 2cm extra all round for error. You can pull it back & readjust and I use the heel of my hand to get it smooth. As long as you do bit by bit , peeling the backing off as you go, it's easy.
