    FYI: I asked for permission to do this DIY. I see so many comments from landlords upset regarding rental apartments DIY's. If you are renting please remember that you need permission to make any changes and that if you don't please make sure they are not permanent and that you will return the place the same it was giving to you. The day I move I will be placing back items I removed. Thank you.

    I think landlords should appreciate when renters take pride in their living space and do things to make it look nice. As long as it's nothing TOO out there they shouldn't have to remove their hard work, because the new tenants just may love it. I redid our house, from peel and stick flooring all the way to painting and replacing electrical outlets and their covers. When we move this house will look a million times better then it did when we moved it, someone is going to love it and I hope they appreciate the hard work I put into this place.

      I love that idea but I don't trust landlords. A landlord would charge the next tenant more for a "customized apartment" or "luxury upgrades" they didn't do themselves. The landlord might like it now while you're there but once you're gone, you could end up with a lawsuit. Not saying every landlord would do that. I'd rather save myself, and potentially someone else, that mess by taking it down once it's time to go.

      I agree with you! It’s an upgrade to the rental space. We have made sure that we can paint and redo cabinets in the bathroom! My new space has three bathrooms and the first guest bath has an out dated medicine cabinet. It is being Replaced thankfully by the owner of our rental. We had our painter completely paint everything except the bathrooms. This we saved up for. My choice of paint for living room and dining room and long hall was honey tan by Sherwinn Williams. Both bedrooms are light gray. I am looking forward to adding back splash in the kitchen. What do you think of the peel and stick tiles. I absolutely love love your Upgrade! I decided to subscribe! All the best to you.

    I am 78 years old and I have used contact paper for a lot of "stuff". Never once did I think of placeing a piece of paper over the groves then placing the contact paper over both. Absolutely wonderful idea. The kitchen turned our very, very nice. Thanks for giving an old lady a very useful new idea.

      Almost all of us in our lives have started with a "crappy kitchen." And sometimes when it's crappy if you just hit the thrift stores and start buying different kinds of glass containers that are maybe for utensils but would look funky you put stuff in there. Do you stuff that is different to make it look like yours. And you can hang up a little picture underneath the cabinet with a push pin. So there's ways that you can make it yours without watching those overprice ways of doing your house. It doesn't have to look like the Kardashians live there. But it will look like you live there with love..And the fact that you have a roof over your head that you can afford and you can cook and eat and be content it for outweighs all the other stuff. But some of these ideas are really excellent. We've all had those kitchens. Really and truly and somehow we survived. And raised kids and pets and all the good stuff. Peace and blessings to you. Gail in Central Florida, January 1, 2021. Thank God...

    The only problem, wear & tear. My daughter n law did that for their counters and it didn't hold up at all. They are rough on things anyway but still, if you can maintain that look, that's great, I think it looks beautiful. Sometimes, if you ask, landlords will allow upgrades, like painting, some will even allow you to deduct the cost from the rent. Just thought you might benefit to know that, being a previous renter, and previous landlord. Good luck on future endeavors, btw, you must have patients of a saint, I have the worse time trying to apply contact paper on anything, you made it look so easy, and great idea using the the dollar tree poster paper on the cabinet doors, your a smart cookie.

    This is why i'm glad i live in Germany. I bought a high quality Kitchen one time which i take with me when i move and can customize as much as i want.
    But the Paper over the Kitchen-doors are genius. I'm not a fan of the overly white, but njeverthless for me it looks much better and modern now compared to the beginning. I'm not a fan of light Wood xx. Dark wood, hell yes. But light wood always reminds me of cheap pressed wood.

    This is fantastic! I did see another renter-friendly diy but they used some sort of board from Home Depot to cover the cabinets. It was really easy but I would rather go to one store. I had the Idea for the poster board because I was going to use it on my tiled back splash because nothing will stick to it for long, but I wasn't sure if it would work on cabinets! I'm so happy it does.

I do my own painting the landlord do supply within policy but as much as I take care I still get a lots of issues with other staff and tents hating. I work hard and pay my bills ..I think it’s because I go over and above to hve a nice neighborhood.

    • @Kevin-sm8pn
      @Kevin-sm8pn 3 роки тому

      Always use coasters and cutting boards, and always wile the counters with a rag if there's water or food on the counters. You can't just intentionally abuse your counters and not give a damn bad expect your counters to be perfect new and shiny.

    • @brittanylockwood6085
      @brittanylockwood6085 3 роки тому +4

      Super late response, but we did this to our kitchen counters, and to seal around the sink, we used caulk. It’s easy enough to remove once you need to remove the contact paper, but it seals from water getting under there.

    It seems like this contact paper and removable wallpaper thing is just getting started it's getting pretty popular among renters like myself..
    The only thing I can't figure out is why it took so long for it to catch on I was doing contact paper for my countertops and backsplash nearly 30 years ago it worked in and it sure in the heck works now even better.

    Landlords should appreciate this.. it actually benefits them because the removable contact paper is acting as a protector/shield the actual cabinets/counter that is underneath.. Therefor, by you having that shield over everything, it’s protecting it from damage & wear & tear
