Stainless Steel Microwave Remake
I had to buy a new microwave but the type and brand that I wanted was only sold in stainless steel. Unfortunately, I may be the only person in the world who feels this way, it's not a finish that I enjoy. I decided to get the microwave anyway but I would have to change the exterior. I considered multiple options then decided upon peel and stick mosaic tile sheets. It worked great and if necessary I can remove them and put new ones on. They're washable as well.
I measured the microwave then calculated how many peel and stick sheets would be needed. In my case I ordered 2 packages. I have a sheet and a bit extra left over.
Cut the sheets to the desired size. Peel off a small part of the backing and carefully place where you want the tiles. Remove the rest of the backing once the tile is placed where you want it to avoid repositioning which may affect the adhesive. Press down and your done.
Suggested materials:
- Peel and Stick Mosaic tiles (Ordered off the internet to get the colors that that I prefer.)
