contact...it's a good thing:)

My kitchen is complete.

(finally)


Recently, I purchase a 30 yard roll
of vintage contact paper 
from Esty. 
 I loved it so much when I saw it online,
I had to have it.
I never expected to love it as much as I do.
(come on I am blogging about it! hehe)
The colors are so much more vivid in person,
than they look online.
And the quality is incredible, 
especially giving its vintage age.
1976:)
WOW!
Also, 30 yards of contact paper is A LOT!
I have so much left over!
I am going to shelve my dad's kitchen...
and I know there will be lots more to
craft with, 
even after I am through with that!
AWESOME!

 Friday Night.

Friday night was my night to 
cut and lay this FUNKY paper down in my cupboards.
Dave sat and chatted with me while I measured and cut.
We had cocktails.



...even Henry the Cat got into the action:)

Oh Henry!

Dave and I had many in depth conversations 
about the history of industry and how things have changed.
We also, studied the back of this contact paper,
realizing the value of advertisement!
You can wall paper with this contact paper!
what???
Just incredible to me.

Just so you know...
I am saving these:)
History is important...
even if it's through contact paper!
LOL:)


It was a good, productive night.
I got to spend time with my Boo.
And I have a new found appreciating for vintage
adds and production! 
(I know I am weird)
~But that's what makes me KIMMIE!~ 


Here is the finished product!
sigh~


The best part about this paper is
it goes with my Pyrex collection,
my retro glasses,
and my kitchen cabinets seem to just
beam with color!


Have a fun day...its SUNDAY:)

Love Always,
KIMMIE B
