(click to enlarge)The process was very simple.
- I started with a gross medicine cabinet, took out the shelves, and then cleaned it out with some all purpose spray.
- I measured the back panel and added about a half inch on all sides to be safe. This is pretty important if your area does not have perfectly straight edges. After measuring and cutting out a piece of contact paper, I lined it up to the back panel to find the overages. Using tweezers (the closest and sharpest thing around) I gently creased the paper.
- Finally, after cutting the paper to size, I peeled off the back and pressed it onto the panel. This was the hardest part since the contact paper wanted to stick to everything but the top left corner.

Wow, it looks fantastic! I'll be linking to this in the Revamp Roundup.
