It looks so much better and sticks without air pockets if you use a small safety pin and randomly poke holes in the contact paper before applying it. My mother used to do this in the homes we rented when I was a small child. She was amazing in taking nothing and making it beautiful! 💖❤️

For bubbles on any decals always take a sewing needle and poke a hole. Instantly removes the trapped air. Q-tips work great for corners

Quick fix for bubbles: take a very thin needle and poke in the center of the bubble, run over with a squeegee/cr. card and thats it. It wont work for every single bubble but it'll do the job!

Adding the tile in the back of the cabinets really added to the whole end result.... looks great

Great job! Quick tip for wall tiles, before you lay first sheet cut off tabs so you start with straight edge, saves adding bits to end 😁🍀💚

Grey, marble and warmth of natural baskets so lovely! Best makeover I've seen with stick tiles & marble - cork around sink pls!

This looks amazing ! Can’t wait to see the finished result. Glad you chose the black hardware; gives the cabinets a fresh modern feel

Wow! Impressed loved everything can't wait to see the rest.

Girl!! This looks amazing! I just stumbled across your channel and watched your NYC apartment tour and watched you do this and then UNdo it before your move. You made a rental-friendly reno seem WAY less intimidating! So happy I found your channel and I can't wait to see your new apartment!!

Wow, I remember those days fixing up my rental apartment (lots of work), you guys did a good job. The kitchen looks great! New friend here. TFS and stay safe.

I absolutely love the kitchen makeover. The marble paper, back splash, & black handles. You did an amazing job!!!! Thanks for participating. Be Blessed!

Something so simple and what a difference! Wow great job you guys.

You should apply caulking all around the sink and stove top, so water doesn’t get in. Haven’t done it myself but have seen other youtubers do it, idk. Just throwing that out there

It looks really good. Removing the doors was a great idea. I don't know who the guy is but he's a definite keeper. Love his whole vibe.

Love how everything came out! I did the same thing to my countertops, but removed the paper after a few months to change things up. Our countertops were perfectly fine in case you're wondering!

Love the makeover. It really makes the kitchen look so much better!!! 💕

OMG!!!! Marvelous,just Marvelous....you two did a great job 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

Loved how beautiful it was just by removing that one set of cabinets made a huge huge difference

Everything turned out great! Love the floor and back splash

Super CUTE!!! Can't wait tonsee what you do with this lovely apt! Also, you and your hubby are so cute!

The makeover looks great, I love it!

This is such a great transformation! You guys are so good at trying new things and going with your gut. I’m so indecisive it takes me forever to make even paint decisions for my home 😆

Great job. You and your husband work so well together. It looks beautiful.

Looks amazing!!! I want the back splash n the hard ware!!

Love ittttttt!!!! This makes your kitchen look so much more updated!!! Thanks for the the inspo! My Brooklyn apt is so outdated!

loved the backsplash! definitely will be doing this in our new apartment!

Looks great yall worked well together it helps on stuff like this with at least 2 people.

Bravo!!!!!!! Great job!!! Born and raised in New York City and I wish I had your talent!!!! Look forward to your next video.

I know this video is old but I still love it! 😊

For peel and stick tiles, you always cut the ends off to make a flat end to start with so you don't have that puzzle look and have to go back and cut out squares to put in those open spaces. But you did good.

Nice job, and I love the white appliances and pots!

Good job. It looks much better

Job well done love the baskets on top really looks good. Peel and stick tile looks good.

Beautiful, can not wait for more videos!!

You did a really good job. Now I want to do that to my kitchen lol

This came out so beautiful! 💕

Looks amazing! Can't wait for the next update :)

Looks great - you did a wonderful job!

Looks super great….I’m sure your landlord will appreciate the update too👍👍👍

this looks GORGEOUS!

Great job! You work so well together!!

Looks amazing!

Very Berry has a nice, somewhat textured, matte marble contact paper on Amazon. I used it for flat lays before and it was much nicer than the other contact papers out there.

Obsessed with how beautiful it came out!

Love this so much👍🏼🙌🏼😃

SHELBY YALL WORKED TOGETHER GREAT NICE JOB GUYS 💜👍🏻

Super cute!!

Beautiful!!!

😍😍 this is the dream!! Please could we have an updated furnished apartment tour? ❤️

Kitchen came out great! You found a great apartment , one of the best I have seen.

Love the idea to remove the doors! So simple but makes a big difference!

You are a classy couple and your, entire apartment represents class!

Love this!! Well done!! 👍

Looks sooo good ✨

Wow very nice!

WOAH!!! what a difference. The grout is a game changer. I am going to see if I find a pen like that does gray or black.

Siete bravissimi ....complimenti ottimo gusto.👏👏👏👏👏❤❤

Great job. Removing the plate covers before applying the tile material, a lot easier 👍

wow!! Excellent job

Awesome kitchen makeover

You did an amazing job!!!! Wow!!!!!

It looks beautiful

Great job! Your kitchen looks great! An idea for under the cabinets where there is a tiny gap between the cabinets and the tiles: perhaps a bit of white chalking would distract from the tiny gap. Have a wonderful weekend! Stay safe!

Interesting Video, I enjoyed watching it!

looks great 👍🏼

This is so great!!! It really turned out to be so classy. Anxiously awaiting the next video. Thanks for sharing this. Please tell me where that beautiful tea kettle was purchased. I NEED that in my life!!! Thanks!😁

I just find you on the home page. Really love your videos. ❤️

The renovation looks terrific, great job!

Wow beautiful👍🏽👍🏽

I want to put some of that on my counter tops. I've seen it in other videos and it looks good

Nice work!

you all need to make more vids -- love your style

With the lettering I thought it said “bitchen reveal” at first which was awesome haha

It's best to measure first but did all right on sort notice. Good look, nice. Chi. Clean look.

Good job 😃👍

Love everything ! Great makeover, I would paint the rim, it would look more put together. Would have left the white counter top, but that’s just my preference because I thought it looked more „expensive“ since it is a real counter top. But the black handles totally make the look complete, as well as the open shelving. PS: i love your Videos, such good Vibes and I love that you keep it real:-) all good luck in NYC and keep safe and healthy. Greetings from Germany. Actually I would have been in NYC for four months since beginning of March, because of a semester abroad but that got cancelled since Corona :( I hope I get to do it at the end of the year instead. Love Theresa

Love love love what you did! When will we get more apartment updates via KZfaq?!

It looks amazing!! Let us know how it keeps over time :)

It came out so great ! I’m actually doing my kitchen over and thinking about doing subway tile this time around

Love this gal

EXCELLENT

New subscriber. Looks great.

Hi Shelby, just watched your kitchen makeover and absolutely love it!! I need to do same thing to my counter tops, can you tell me what company makes them or where I can purchase them ? Thanks !!

Love the kitchen! Are the baskets at the top for decor or do you store stuff in there as well?

Hi Shelby, love all these ideas! Can you actually use backsplash a wooden wall? And peel & stick on a wooden countertop? Will I have any difficulty taking them out after 2 to 3 years?

Omg. Just unscrew the face plate of the switch and then run the fake tile underneath.

This was PERFECT!! How many rolls of backsplash and countertop did you need? Sorry if I missed it!

Where is your toaster from/make? And Bravo 👍😁 you did a great job 👍

Would have loved to see how the floors looked after using the grout pen.

Oh, I looooove! How has the countertop held up? Any utensil dings or food issues?

Wow looks so great!! How many rolls of the contact sheet did you use?

I wish I coul removed some cabinet doors for an 'open shelving' look but ours have a piece of wood in the middle 😫 Yours turned out great!

Your kitchen looks beautiful. Did you repaint the cabinets? If so, which product did you use?

You did a beautiful job...what a difference. If you put a clear chalking around the sink area it should keep the water from getting under the contact(or whatever it is called)...one question I do gave is, does it remove easily, I rent also and would most likely need to remove it if I ever leave.....thank you....God bless, stay safe

wait, i thought you guys just bought a house? it was so cute! do love the kitchen tho. great job

You can and should unscrew your outlet or light switch plates and leave a little extra under so there's no gap between the outlet and the peel and stick tile

Hmm never saw a vid to mist counter before applying. Interesting

Your kitchen looks gorgeous. Can you tell me where you bought your backsplash from?

thats expensive for the space you did. plus always remove outlet plates...ALWAYS

I had such a shit time with my countertops. We’re moving again in about a month so I’ll have to try the water spray! And the needle poking!
