I started by emptying everything out of the drawers in the island.
I wiped the space down with my trusty, Mr. Clean Magic Eraser (can't live without it!)
and then vacuumed the inside of each drawer.
I found the cutest Contact paper at Target when Mike and I were out Friday.
I measured once and cut all six.
I found it easier to peel the paper backing off before placing it in the drawer. The Contact paper was pretty forgiving and I was able to move the sheet around until I was happy with the placement.
When I had it like I wanted it, I used a soft dish cloth to brush lightly across the paper to remove the air bubbles. Then, I applied a bit more pressure to get the paper to stick. It took a little more than half an hour to complete the project. While I plan to line the rest of the cabinets in plain white, I will definitely be on the look out for other fun patterns and colors. This was such an easy update, I may make a habit ofchanging out the lining more than once every decade. The island drawers are looking fresh, clean and ready for Spring.
