Peel-n-Stick Cabinet Makeover

When you live in a rental there is sometimes very little you can do to make it your own. There is also very little you can do to update the space if it's older. My clients love the location of their apartment so they wanted to find temporary ways to make the space attractive and easy to clean. With tons of peel-n-stick options these days, I figured it was the perfect solution to update the bottom of these old cabinets so my clients enjoyed opening and cleaning them!
First thing is first: clean the surface! These cabinets not only had dirt but also caked on grease - make sure everything is as clean as you can get it.


Lay out a few tiles to determine the best place to start.
Then just peel apart the tile from its backing and start sticking! I was careful to match up the pattern perfectly as I went and pressed each tile so it was evenly attached to the surface.


It took me about 15 minutes to do 3 and a half rows (I'm pretty detail oriented when it comes to projects like these - the pattern has to match up perfectly!).
The tile surface will be much easier to wipe down than the untreated wood underneath. This quick and easy project is totally worth it for renters and homeowners alike!
