Making over a bathroom and unable to replace the sink countertop combo, my hubs and I got creative with contact paper, spray paint and porch and patio paint.... total cost, less than $400.
Before...
Running off to the big box hardware store, we picked up some spray paint in black gloss and metallic silver. We then bought a pint of gloss black latex paint and a gallon of Behr low-lustre porch and patio paint. We bought 4 rolls of arabesque style contact paper in black and white, 2 rolls of teal, and 7, yes 7 rolls of diamond plate contact paper. Also bought 5 packs of peel and stick tiles.
I started with the contact paper after cleaning the walls and ceiling. It's easy to work with and sticks really well. While I handled that, hubby sanded the drawers and started with spray painting the them. Took two coats! I "tiled" first and then continued with the rest of the contact paper. I then sanded the cabinets and we painted them with the can of gloss black. While I worked on the ceiling, hubby worked on painting the drawer pulls in the metallic silver. I finished up with a double coat of the low lustre porch and patio paint. I used a brush rather than a roller and painted right over the outdated vinyl laminate. Overnight to dry and final step was hanging the $20 chandelier from Home Depot. I used a couple of flower pots I had on hand, for hand towels and soap and lotion rather than a shelf. The mirror and cabinet were already on hand and we had leftover paint from another project. Painting those in the teal really made the bathroom pop! The teal shelving is from the cabinet, just turned on the side. The total time, 4 days with waiting for the paint to dry.
Clean up time and a glass of wine 😀

Have a question about this project?
Where did you use the 2 rolls of teal contact paper? Very creative of you! The teal paint looks a lot like what we have in our laundry room, love it.
How has the peel and stick tile held up?
