Super Cheap Kitchen Cabinet Makeover
1 Material
My 50+ year old New-To-Me Mobile Home needed serious updating. I do everything on a 'dime', or in other words, I shop a lot at the Dollar Tree. My kitchen cabinet makeover cost around $10.00
I removed the old and mostly broken handles (not sure if I will replace them or not) I washed the cabinet doors with hand sanitizer. I already had a huge bottle that I had purchased at the Dollar Tree. Was great for removing many years of yuck on these door.
I measured one cabinet door at a time and then applied the contact or shelf paper. It was a bit of a slow process to work out the bubbles. Some of the doors were not exactly straight so they were a little tricky.
Some of the top cabinets and the refrigerator were wider than the paper but joining was quite easy with a small overlap to compensate for shrinkage after the paper (which is plastic of course) settles after being stretched, pulled off and rearranged.
I did not cover the back splash, this wood grain was already there and while it is a different wood grain, it matches well. Due to a disability I can not reach the two doors above the refrigerator but a family member is coming and will be doing those for me. I used nine rolls of contact/shelf paper and with tax, the project cost me just under $10.00

I would remove the tall doors next to the fridge and line with pull out baskets.Make the side of the cupboard a cork board or magnet board.
