Marbled Contact Paper

Hello Friends!

It's good to be back. We had a wonderful Spring Break in Destin, Florida!
From Deep sea fishing to crabbing and of course, shopping, it was a great short break with the family.

Marvelous view from our Room
Anyway, bear with me as I try to get back into the 'norm' of things.

So let me start with this great find I recently started using.


Do your drawers look like this?

Yey, I'm not alone?!
It's normally more organized than this, but because of the type of drawer liner I placed in my drawers, my organizers and things don't stay put!

See?
 This is what I placed on all my drawers when I started moving things back in the kitchen.
It's the typical foam drawer liners you can find at any store. 
The problem is, despite the exact size or taping the edges, these things don't keep my stuff stay put!

So I got this from AMAZON.com

Love it!
I love that it stays put and is sooooo pretty too!

No more crumpled drawer liners!
 I love them so much I lined the bottom of my cabinets too!

BEFORE

Every time I try to get sometime up top, the liner follows suit as well!

AFTER

Now, all my items glide out smoothly and like I said, it made my cabinets look prettier as well!
There's tons of things you can probably do with this contact paper, I can imagine it backing  a beautiful black book shelf or to top off a console table too!

How about you any great finds lately? 
I'll be sharing more on Tuesday, been antiquing/thrifting in Destin as well!


Have a Great Week!

  2. Welcome back home and I'm sure you all had a wonderful time! You've been missed. I know just what you mean about that kind of liner. I have some too. Now what you found is really pretty. I need some too! Thanks for popping in to see me and get all of those dirty clothes washed up! :)

  3. Very pretty! Thanks for the tip. Who would have thought Amazon had this sort of thing?

    I'm glad you had a great time. I think Christine Wright has a home in Destin.

  9. Welcome back. Looks like so many people made it to warmer weather. I love that contact paper, and at the moment, I am still so jealous of how your family cleaned your entire home for New Years. I wish I had done that.

  15. It looks better with the contact paper... And it must have been so annoying before that liner not staying in place!
    That view of the beach is amazing.

  20. Welcome back! Looks like y'all had a wonderful vacation! Beach pics are always so relaxing to me. I had no idea they even made contact paper that was this pretty! Good to know it really works too. I'm pretty convinced you really can get just about anything on Amazon now. :) Enjoy your week!
