I used contact paper in my classroom for different things. Including clear contact paper on the floor with my little's photos so they knew where to stand in line at the beginning of school. Later, I changed it and they stood on a sight word. They had to tell me the word. Then I changed the order of the line so they were learning all the words. Also putting their photo on their cubby where they stored their backpacks and jackets. I covered copy paper boxes to have extra storage with fun colors that matched my classroom colors. Contact paper is awesome!! 😊❤

The caulking and heat gun tips are game changers! 🎉

Nice!! You should have glued a jenga block into the hole on the broken counter 😂. Cutting up books is better than letting them end up in a landfill ! According to research, around 320 million books end up in landfill sites every year!!! Loving your videos!! TYFS 🥰🥰

Congrats to your daughter on her first apartment!🙌
The counters are GORGEOUS!!
FYI: I had to close my eyes for the moving parts of the video due to my vertigo.

What i always say: If you don't have money, just be creative.

Back in the 70's I was newly divorced and VERY poor. Made a hooded fireplace (blk ) using triangle sides and large flat front, for the base i used white brick (it was available by contact plastic brick back then) my "logs" were grey "wood" contact paper. It was lit from a hole in bottom of box base. I made bunching tables from two plastic waste baskets covered in wood & the tops were two matching shallow boxes covered in wood contact paper. An old table my Mom was pitching became new again with more contact paper and old cardtable chairs (with ridgid cushions wrapped in...contact) matched the tabletop! I made a dining "nook" using contact paper on the back of a bookcase that stood btwn living room & dining area. Friends used to bring others to see my "contact apartment" Even touching it they couldn't believe it was all contact paper! Of course counters were transformed in contact paper.

Congratulations to your daughter on her first apartment. The counter tops came out great.👍

[andreajones]

I never would have thought to cover countertops with contact paper. I see a project in my near future. Thank you!!

My sister has a used desk she bought that has contrasting contact paper covering the top. She has always thought about changing it up but never got around to it. Totally randomly, she hired an organizer one time to help with a couple of projects and the woman instantly recognized the desk because she was the one who put the contact paper on it for her daughter and later sold it lol.

Love this! I suspect the landlord might not want to see the apartment returned to its original state. LOL! Years ago I used contact paper on 2 cardboard organizers that sat in an area that was visible from my living room. They looked 100% better once the job was done. Years later they still look like new with the same contact paper.

Loved this project, especially the caulking idea. Looking forward to the next one...

So thrilled to have found you! Contact paper is a briilliant solution.

Hello Norrine, You must be so excited for your daughter to have her first apartment 😊 What a great idea using contact paper for the counters. I would never have thought of that! TYFS 🤗

[jo-annmaruszak]

I can’t believe time has gone by so quickly. Your daughter has grown and has a place of her own

[kellyflanagan]

Hi Noreen!!!
Found another follower in my in-law side of the family! We all LOVE ALL your ideas and YOU!!!

Back in the late 70's, I rented a place with a really crappy looking refrigerator, I covered it with a basket weave contact paper & it looked like a beautiful basket in my kitchen. I LOVE contact paper!!

I have to suggest a caveat to “cutting up books “. If the books have suffered damage- like the glue disintegrating and large sections of pages have been lost- by all means up cycle that dude rather than trash it.

Love clear contact paper to cover my upcycles. I use it over scrapbook paper, and now I don't feel so guilty about the scads of scrapbook pads I bought the past couple years because I'm finally using them! My favorite upcycle right now is a sliding "gate" I made to keep the dogs out of the hallway--flattened cardboard boxes covered with my favorite autumn papers in a collage style--just tall enough to keep them from stepping over. Makes my heart sing every time I see it.

Oh my goodness! I live in a small apartment with neutral everything! The pink contact paper is so cute. I’m going to order some and redo my counters which are very similar to your daughter’s. It is so good to know that it removes easily and completely. I’m excited about all the possibilities now that you have shared. Thank you so much. Have a good week!

I am pretty new on your channel this past week. So inspired, I could not sleep last night…I had seen vids; then looked at contact/wallpaper @ Amazon.

I purchased a new 4-step ladder with handrails and a tool holder @ top for security for some high areas. Had to start from the bottom up LOL😂

I have so much planned for this summer and got about 2 hrs of sleep.

You gave me answers to problem areas throughout the house Norrine, from over 20 years ago. I am over the moon grateful. 🎉❤😅. Thanks much~~~
