      Can you imagine all the debris that would get under that paper, and it would come up. Even if you used duct tape amd it never comes off that happens, and it uproots. They're not even using any kind of sealant over it. And I hope they didn't cover the vents on the microwave. Lol.

    I have only used contact paper one time in my life and that was a few years ago I painted a cookie sheet sides with a light color and with a light color contact paper put it in the middle section to adhere my magnets to that I make to sell. A few months ago before my move I purchased a couple of rolls of the black and white floral one from @dollartree and still have not used it. I orig wanted to cover the back side of a maple bookcase that was damaged but because it is vintage I have just propped up a photo in front of it. My apartment is very very tiny and I am hoping to find a bookcase I can paint white and have the contact paper in the back and put it next to a modern day secretary that I have that is already a high gloss black. They will look nice in my office area. I am overwhelmed with the amount of stuff I have and so little room and I am hoping to buy a home next summer, already have one storage unit which is pricy. I do not have a bathroom vanity under my sink, it is a pedestal sink. I would love to see a Hometalk on making a vanity that can also be portable for me that is renter friendly. An idea for you, if one is not filmed yet. I love this channel I think it is one of the greatest and I love going into your homes especially the one very creative woman who is on this the most. I loved her contact paper idea for her TV console and her husband helping out with the shelf. Sorry I always write a novel. I seen to when something excites me. Have a great day.

My nest of tables had seen better days and I covered the tops. Bedroom furniture had white tops and I put oak paper on them and it looks like they were bought that way. I was going to replace all that furniture at a cost of over £1,000 now spent less than £25 and everything looks fantastic.
