One of the reasons I love contact paper is because it is generally designed to be a temporary solution (as in it shouldn't leave residue or cause damage when removed). If you are planning on adding it to a painted surface, I would just be sure that the paint has had the proper time to cure first.

Do you look at this as more of a permanent solution? I have cabinets in my bathroom that we recently painted and would love to dress up the bottom of the shelves. i was thinking that the contact paper might pull up the paint tho, if i decided to change it. Any ideas or thoughts on this?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03293841156742738758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-66467715827075652732016-05-02T12:36:09.874-05:002016-05-02T12:36:09.874-05:00Love it!

One of them is just a blue & white polka dot piece, but I love the navy color so much that I purchased a third to use in my college bedroom. There are 2 hanging on the walls in my fairly minimal bedroom which I find adds a playful & feminine touch. One is against my closet door because the off-white color frustrated me but as a nomadic apt renter I don't have the desire to do a painting job. <br /><br />The inside of the drawers in my bathroom have a beige floral print that I don't like. It'd be so refreshing to see a different design when reaching for tools I use every day.
