    As an FYI, I used contact paper to repair a countertop in the house I am renting. I used a marble type as well and then put a coat of Varathane Clear finish over it to waterproof. Three years later, it is still holding up exceptionally well. I would DEFINITELY recommend putting that waterproof finish on it as it is a bathroom and damp.

      how will you remove it when you move out if you put a clear finish over it? As in how hard would the removal process be? I'm considering it but my concerns initially lied with the fact that it may not be 100% waterproof, so the idea of using a clear finish is great, but now i have another concern, which is removing the contact paper after moving out

    • @DM-Canada
      @DM-Canada Před 4 lety +46

      @@Beyondzz In all fairness, this was a counter repair -- the landlord didn't support the front part of the counter (the part that curls over from the top to the front) and the kids cracked it while cleaning the mirror. He started having a bit of a "hissy fit" over it (he is difficult like that, but hates paying for any real repairs) so I fixed it myself. I put wood behind to support the "curl over" and patched it. Then I covered the counter with a VERY similar looking "Contact" paper. I don't plan on removing it. But, from experience, it will still come off if you want it to. The "glue" underneath is still the same and it was only two coats of "waterproofing" so it is a bit stiffer but still "liftable". My suggestion would be to take a small piece and try it in an inconspicuous spot and test it. If I get a chance, I will check myself for you. Most of the time, if it is a good improvement, landlords really don't care. If it is outlandish, then they get more difficult.

    Before applying the contact paper on the counter. Get a friend who knows about plumbing. This way the sinks can be removed ; and the paper can go on then cut the circle shape of sink.

    I suggest that you update the towel bar on the wall when you fix the light in the future. Also a tip for the built in wall shelf, IKEA sells some small "pluggs" that are made out of plastic that you use to fill holes on adjustable shelves. It would look really good if the holes were less visible. I have them in my open wardrobe and it just takes it to a new level!

      I have sticky tiles in my bathroom. I have jumped out in the time after a bath and washed my pups with out any of the tiles coming up. But then again, I didn't get super cheap tiles. A good box of sticky tiles of 12 is around 25$ or so. They are a great budget friendly addition. I would recommend to anyone

      I've used sticky tiles in the bathroom and they held up great. I have a bathmat outside of the shower to step on when I get out, and I don't have any small children that splash onto the floor. I always make sure that the shower liner is in the tub when I take a shower, and have taught my son to do the same. Perhaps that's why I've never had a problem.

    How terrific it all looks! I recently used Minwax gel stain, to repaint my vanity bottom cabinets a darker color; no need to remove the door fronts; it's the consistency of Elmer's glue and then gently put in brush strokes. New door handles help also. Replaced all the hardware , faucet, towel racks, etc,to match in dark also. Kept cream colored sink, toilet, tub surround, but repainted walls. No need for $4000 makeover. You are a great inspiration!

    You seem like a great daughter & I could tell your parents are very proud.:) The fact that you did all of the work yourself is pretty special. If for some reason the contact paper doesn't hold up you could always paint the counter top using a faux marble technique. I've done a few projects in that style & it always looks beautiful. Not that difficult either. I'm not saying the contact paper won't hold up. I have no experience with it so I'm just saying in case it doesn't.:) Everything looks so fresh. Really nice job!!!
