About five years ago I purchased three inexpensive, white storage cabinets to use in my spare bedroom. Each cabinet has two doors and four shelves inside and I use them to store the inventory for my Etsy shop.
This spare bedroom serves as a guest bedroom and my shop inventory storage. It is also where I store my shipping supplies, printer, and scale for weighing packages. It is a very small bedroom, only about 10' x 10'. You can see the makeover the room received back in 2015 here: Guest Bedroom Redo.
I am working on another makeover for this little room and it will soon serve another purpose while still housing my shop inventory and acting as a guest room when needed. I can't wait to share that but I can't quite do that yet. In the meantime though, I thought I could share the inexpensive refresh I gave to those white storage cabinets that are in the room 😊

Here is the embarrassing before picture, 😬 it's terrible but real life!!
If you decide to give some cabinets a makeover with peel and stick wallpaper, it takes very little prep!
- Remove the cabinet hardware
- Wipe down the cabinet surface to remove any fingerprints or other dirt and dust
And you only need a few supplies:
This was a super easy project, all I had to do was measure the cabinet doors, cut the peel and stick wallpaper to size and add it to the front of the cabinet doors!
I cut each piece slightly longer than needed (about 1/2") and started at the top of each cabinet door, lining up the top edge of the wallpaper with the door, and then I used a razor blade to trim the bottom edge. Use a squeegee to get the bubbles out (a credit card would probably work too).
The wallpaper wasn't wide enough to cover both doors so I did have to match the pattern and cut a smaller strip to finish the second door on each cabinet, but with this pattern, it was pretty easy.
These are the plastic handles that I removed from the cabinets. I considered buying new handles but thought I might have trouble matching the holes and didn't really want to mess with filling them and drilling new holes.
I decided I could probably make them look like fancier, nicer handles with just a little spray paint!
It worked!
Of course, it always helps to just clean up!!
My daughter and mom found these vintage lamps, aren't they cool!
I am very pleased with how these look now, it's like having new, stylish cabinets for under $40!
Do you have any of these inexpensive storage cabinets or another cabinet that you'd like to refresh with peel and stick wallpaper?
