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!

Beautiful work👌❤️

Thank you 🥰🤗

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

Very nice looking. And cheap enough for me too. I wanna do this to my countertops ❤❤❤

[@diylilyardor3435]

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!

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 🥰🤗👏🏾

[@diylilyardor3435]

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.

[@KoKoCola82]

@@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 #FavoriteChannel❤️ #⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

[@diylilyardor3435]

Wow three years is pretty good. So far this contact paper is holding up really good. Love the quality.

[@samanthabishop2146]

What size roll did you get?

[@user-tu2oh6ug9n]

VERY INFORMATIVE AND HONEST. TY! WHAT BRAND OF PAPER DID YOU USE?

[@user-tu2oh6ug9n]

Never mind, I scrolled down! Ty!😊

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.

[@diylilyardor3435]

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
