Easy Camper Counter Tops

So I ran out of paint… and while waiting for it to arrive I had a new thought. I know, I know…. I keep adding all these little projects to the camper. Some day we’ll actually camp in it again! Anyways..! After all these changes I’ve been making (like painting everything) has really made the counters look bad. I really don’t want to rip them out and put on a new top. I’ve been considering that, and glad I had a different idea! If I can wallpaper the walls, why can’t I do it to the counters! Turns out, my right hand man (Amazon) had just what I needed

It’s called Adhesive Vinyl and looks like marble! It’s a thick peel and stick contact paper. And applies the same way as wallpaper. It was pretty easy to work with. I didn’t take the time to line up the design because I figured 1) that would take forever and 2) its a camper. If you look closely you can see the seam where I had to do a second piece. But in person it’s super smooth and pretty! I love it!! I tried it out on the cabinet right by the door. I originally painted this white, and it’s already getting worn so the contact paper is way sturdier and I’ll be able to wipe it down

Pretty awesome right!! If you see my previous post on wallpaper, you can find the tools I used. And you can find the contact paper here!

Don’t mind all the stuff hanging out in the shelves. It’s been the catch-all place while working on this 🙂

And in case you’re curious… this is what it looked like before paint and the contact paper counter top 🙂

For The Love Of Wallpaper

I know people have a love/hate relationship with wallpaper. Obviously, if you’ve seen the kitchen mushroom wallpaper in this camper’s kitchen… you probably aren’t a fan. (Unless of course mushrooms are your thing) but I was looking at the wall going into the bathroom thinking, it needed “something”

WALLPAPER

you guys, I found this wallpaper on Amazon (duh, all good things are from Amazon)

It comes with easy to follow instructions. I won’t go into all the details, but if you have a little patience, it’s fairly easy to put up. I was a little nervous about it sticking to everything and not being able to get it straight. But it’s pretty forgiving. You can pull it off slowly and realign if needed. Which I did a couple times.

After putting it up, I used this smoothing tool to get out the bubbles. And then trimmed around the edges with this X-acto knife

Slow progress, but progress none the less!
