I just could not get the contact paper to go on wrinkle-free!! Also, I've found some beautiful paper at Hallmark and World Market.

You know, the stuff that comes in big rolls? You can usually pick remnants up really cheap at flooring stores, but also at places like Ollie's discount. Works perfect for cabinets that might get some water in them - leaky sink pipe for example. Easy to wipe up and really protects well.Kristen Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09233657567247441633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-85545747318112117952012-08-08T08:39:15.026-05:002012-08-08T08:39:15.026-05:00WOW!!

This means it's really easy to change out, doesn't damage the drawer, and, best of all, the corners never start turning up because they are wrapped around the board (I just do it like a present). <br /><br />I usually use wall paper, because it's so hard wearing. But it's also really expensive - so look out at thrift stores.
