]]> stainless steelI know I should have been packing, but a person needs a little down time, right?  Anyway, I stumbled across an article at lifehacker about refurbishing your appliances with stainless steel contact paper. 

I’m sorry, but I just can’t wrap my mind around this one.  Contact paper?  Really?  Has anyone else seen just how ugly and tacky this stuff can be?   ;)   When I think of contact paper, I still have terrible memories.  I remember going over to someone’s apartment and seeing their nice solid wood cabinet doors covered with flowered contact paper.  It was SO UGLY!!!!!  To each his own, I guess.

I suppose it’s possible that the stainless steel contact paper is thick and durable and is nice quality.  It would definitely be a more frugal option than replacing your appliances.  In case you’re interested, here’s a tutorial.

Has anyone seen this stuff?  I’m curious to know.
