This is a lifesaver for renters! I've found that really you just have to go with brand name when you need good shelf paper.
The cabinets in the house we rent are water damaged and basically rotting. When I initially tried to put the paper on, it didn't stick at all and pulled up bits of cabinet! (See the third picture). I had done everything thing I read: washed it thoroughly with dawn dish soap, let it dry very well. Rub it with rubbing alcohol and let that dry, and still it didn't stick. But I had to cover up these cabinets!
So then the idea comes - hairspray! Basically, I sprayed some of the hairspray I have lying around, let it dry partially, and then stick the paper down. And voila! Installed contact paper!
Because it still doesn't stick down super well, I couldn't install it the normal way (I had to peel the whole thing off the paper first), but the pattern hides creases well. And because of this random-ish pattern, I didn't even bother trying to line the second sheet up with the first on the shelves in the pantry (see if you can spot the seam in the last photo).

My fiance and I purchased a home needing a lot of updates. To save money in the kitchen, we kept a section of the remaining cabinets, repainted them, and added new hardware. I have never used contact paper before, but I really loved how it transformed my cabinets. It's a fun surprise each time I open them. The color matched my kitchen perfectly and it was easy to install once I got the hang of it. I recommend peeling off the backing a small section at a time, lining it up, and slowly smoothing out the paper while peeling off the backing rather than peeling off the backing all at once. This contact paper is forgiving, so if I didn't line it up right or if I got a wrinkle in it, I just peeled up the part needing fixed and started again. If there are any air bubbles, a little poke of a pin smoothed it right out. I'm curious to see how it will hold over time as it does seem thin...but so far I am very pleased!

This contact paper has a lovely pattern, and looks great! (I didn’t spray paint the underside of the shelves, and then had to flip it to make room in my classroom so bare, worn, fake wood was exposed). The grid lines on the back made it easy to measure& trim as needed. If I messed up on the angle during application, it was easy to unpeel and reapply more neatly/straight. However, that ease of removal was also a hindrance to getting it on because the contact paper didn’t seem to stick to the fake wood surface of these shelves, so it was hard to tug tight or to keep it in place as I went over edges. Overall, it looks great and we’ll see if it stands up to the touch/roughness of 25+ fifth graders!
