Omg thank you so much for thoroughly covering how to do corners! I was most worried about that but now I’m armed with an approach! You’ve taken out the future heartaches. And thanks for including the test run of the liner, that is also super good to know!
Glad this was helpful!
What a change. It looks awesome. I've got my peep and stick marble looking paper. I'm definitely doing it. My home is 60 years old and original. The countertops were canary yellow. Just imagine. It was so ugly. I used a countertop granite system about 10 years ago and it has done well but it so dark. I really dislike it so I'm going light and bright too. Thank you for the motivation!
I'm excited for your makeover! Counter tops make such a huge difference in a space! It'll be worth all the hard work!
night and day difference, definitely looks clean and bright ✨👌🏼 was contemplating on ours, now i’m convinced… thanks 👍🏼

Glad you found this helpful!
@@diylilyardor3435hello!! I really need help, I have a pink stain on my countertop, I tried your other tutorial and it didn’t help. It’s URGENT, we’re trying to sell our house. ❤
This really looks surprisingly good! Also still so impressed with the painted cupboards!!!!Also like the matte paper! Thank you for sharing the struggles - sometimes people make it look so easy. I have to say that I usually dont like "fake" surfaces, but the granit looks a little bit like it hast different colours (the part on the wall and the countertop seem to be a little bit different) and i think that would also bother me. Tip for tumeric/curry staines: They are in fact light sensitiv, so the should fade overt time until they vanish. If it is something like a cutting board, etc, you can speed the processe up by putting the item into sunlight.
YES I'm surprised you caught that! I've had so many friends over and when I would tell them the granite table and backsplash don't match they'd say it's not that noticeable! When we moved in the owners had it put in that way to save money thinking it wouldn't be so noticeable. Either way the color on the granite just always looked dirty to me! Super excited to clean my kitchen now. We'll see how long it lasts :D hopefully a while. WOW that's good to know I'll keep that in mind next time I stain something with turmeric. Thanks :D
I swear you and your man are a breath of fresh air! I love your channel I'm
Binge watching everything thankyou so much for sharing with us oxox ❤
AWE so sweet! Thank you! This made my day! Hoping to start sharing DIYS again soon! It's really hard to DIY anything with a toddler lol
Thank you so much! I really want a white/marble counter but I cannot change my counters. I usually hate the high gloss marble contact paper. This one looks great and I bought a roll to experiment with my kitchen style
Super helpful tutorial. And it came out beautifully.
I’ve literally been wanting to try this for yearsssssssss. But, was just too scared to bite the bullet. I’ve even seen so many tutorials, but NONE as in depth or as thorough as this video. Thanks for the wear test ahead of the drop and the added tidbits about the blow dryer method vs a heat gun. Everything about how you guys do things really resonates with me.
I’m totally convinced and excited to do it now
🥰🤗👏🏾
AWE YAY! GIRRL you should try it! Honestly I felt exactly like you jumping into this DIY had the contact paper sitting around for a while LOL before I finally got the courage to do this! I even bought a few different styles. Ended up picking this one because it was the BEST quality. Other ones felt so thin. We loved how thick this one was. I watched a bunch of videos too but I think some of them actually gave us more trouble while installing. we learned as we went I guess. Happy to hear this was in depth :D I try to always share as much as I can.
@@diylilyardor3435 Yes, for sure this is by far the best one I’ve seen. And I’m not just saying that because I’m partial. Lol
I forgot to mention the part about getting the larger roll, so you can guarantee you’ll have enough and it all be one color. 🙌🏾🫶🏽
I’m telling you… Your work and attention to detail is literally EVERYTHING! Even in the mistakes… Some things just don’t work out how we wanted or thought they might! 🤷🏽♀️
So, you pivot and try something else….
And look at the end result… a beautiful kitchen! Thanks AGAIN

@@KoKoCola82awe thank you so much! This made my day! 😭😭🥰🤗
Your testing covered all of the bases. Thanks! Your results look great. I have recovered my countertops with contact paper. It seemed to last about 3 yrs or a little more before it began to crack. Another thing. In the area where I wiped the most the pattern began to fade a lot. It was a granite pattern and like your original countertop it was hard to tell if I wiped all of the crumbs. I'd like to try marble like you used.
Wow three years is pretty good. So far this contact paper is holding up really good. Love the quality.
Thank you! I was just about to but any epoxy because we wanted our countertops white. Thanks for showing the bad side of it with your yellow bathroom and staining
YES I wouldn't do it again! so much work and it's look so yellow even worse now then in the video.
Glad to here the video was helpful!
Well to each is own,as a counter top installer that was painfull to watch
Can you PLEASE help me with getting paint stains off my counter? It’s an emergency and we can’t get it off, your last tutorial didn’t really help too much please. We were planning on selling out. House
Beautiful work👌❤️
Thank you 🥰🤗
fantastic job on this
Thank you :)
VERY INFORMATIVE AND HONEST. TY! WHAT BRAND OF PAPER DID YOU USE?
Never mind, I scrolled down! Ty!😊
Very nice looking. And cheap enough for me too. I wanna do this to my countertops ❤❤❤
Thank you. Out of all the things I've tried as temporary countertops this is by far my favorite! Shocked at how good they're holding up. AND no one knows they're contact paper. We had family over last week girls were washing dishes and they had no idea lol I told them not to put hot cook sheet on the table cuz it's contact paper and they were surprised lol started examining all the imperfections after. You should totally do this! highly recommend!
New subscriber .. love the handmade tiles ..
Thank you :)
I think that granite was nice.
here there. i saw your older video about the burlap door panels you made. i know it has been a while since you posted this, hoping you still see my message. do you still have these doors? how is it working after all these years since you made them? any issues you had to fix since? another question please, you mentioned you SUBTRACTED 1/4 inches of each side (all 4 sides) of the panels to fit the hinges, is that correct? thanks.
Hi girl, doors are holding up great burlap loosened up a bit but still looks great not saggy. Yes from what I remember it was all four sides check out the blog post it should have more info. I’m pretty sure it’s linked in video description
Granite is the exact oposite of ugly it is beautiful.
We enjoyed it for a long time but it definitely needed an update for the space we live in. If the house was new with everything else new I do agree granite is beautiful but with an older house it's hard to make it look aesthetically pleasing.
What size roll did you get?
Can you remove? it let’s say…. if your renting somewhere
So nice!!!😊
Thank you
I think tan brown granite. Or Baltic brown. Way too tired right now. I install granite countertops everyday
*Promo SM* 😻
Leave the granite.... paint the cupboards
The granite was beautiful
Granite. 🤢
ruined your counters for 100 bucks. congrats.
But, Still holding up great!
It’s hers do she do what she want in her own
