Our house has a nook which we love. We might very well have moved into this house because of this nook. It’s a perfect spot for Arwen to read books, take cat-naps, or to shirk. At some point we notice that the surface has become rather unflattering so I want to do something about it.
This is what I get from Dollar Tree for a hefty amount of $1.00! A scroll of cover with wood pattern.
This is how it looks when spread out. Don’t be discouraged by how wrinkled it looks! Everything is gonna be okay!
This is the difficult part which requires some carefulness. I measure the dimensions of the nook surface as precisely as I can, and map it out on the cover. Then I trim the cover to have the exact shape of the surface. Unfortunately, the cover is not as big as the entire surface so I have to prepare several smaller pieces to put together like a puzzle. (It’s a price for being ghetto!)
It’s now showtime! I carefully peel the back of the cover and apply it onto the surface. In this picture below, 2 pieces have been applied and everything is going well. The weather seems nice outside too.
And here is the end result! The pieces stay together very snugly. The transitions between the pieces are not at all noticeable unless I deliberately look for them. No gaps and everything.
We are overall very happy with how it turns out. All of that for $1.00! Thank you for reading. I hope you’d find this helpful!
