I have had this a couple of years. Cost two bucks. I spilled an entire pitcher of water on it a few days ago and in attempting to mop up the mess, saw that it was only a basic coating of (ripped) thick plastic stuff. Decided then and there to redo it. Old plasttic came off easily with a razor.
After drying with a hair dryer, I looked everywhere for old
roll of walllpaper. Measured a hundred times to be sure it would work out right. Not happy with the seam but what can ya do if that is the width of available paper?
I used a pair of tweezers to tuck in all edges but even after that finished look I wanted more, so added the only ric rac I had.
I hope it holds up. At least it is more pleasing to the eye now!
Wow, that is 1000x better! I love your choice of strawberry wallpaper and the additional rick rack decorative embellishment. It looks like a table on which to set up a tray of cupcakes. Or play a wicked game of cards… like everyone at the table is all cordial then when the cards come out… it’d be like my family. Fiercely competitive.
Huge fan of repair vs replace or trash. And I have contact paper on my sewing table and I’m 10 years in. Minus a couple small ripples, it’s still holding up well!
