I have been writing about ways to re-design rental kitchens. We spoke of fabric, paint, and hardware as a way to personalize a kitchen that you are unable to drastically modify. Our rental kitchen shelving suffers from almost 80 years of layers of paint. Instead of the laborious task of paint removal, I opted to use a decorative shelf paper. These come in great patterns and can add a little punch to your cupboards. I chose a blue and white floral for my 1930′s kitchen that is not only lovely, but easy to clean. I hated going into my tiny pantry before, but now I delight in looking for that last can of peas.
