We were a little reluctant to buy a new dishwasher when our current one works great. Instead of living with a white facade, when the rest of our appliances are stainless, I decided to take matters into my own hands.
I bought stainless steel ‘look’ contact paper from Micheals and recovered the existing dishwasher.
At $6.99 this roll of paper was super cheap and I figured, if it didn’t work – I would get some goo-gone and take away the evidence. Luckily, with some patience and a steady hand, we ended up with this:
Hurray! I was really happy with the way it ended up. It cost me 7.00 and 30 minutes of my time. Totally worth it.
Have you ever tried to recover an appliance? How did it go?
Have a wonderful weekend!

Great job! Very impressive! The only similar thing I’ve done is line the inside of my cabinets and not very well
The paper is coming up….
I haven’t lined my cabinets yet…but that is what I was worried about with the heat/steam from the dishwasher, but so far so good! I think since the existing surface was non-porous (unlike wood) it’s helped.
That looks great! I have never tried to recover furniture…
Great work! That is a great way to save $$ and a quick update! I will use this for clients in the future!
I love this idea.
That was totally Amanda. I’m impressed(Danny).
i’ve been meaning to do this to ours for about two years and now I really am, b’c it looks great! nice job!
This is a fabulous idea! i’m going to “pin” it. will probably do this in the new house we’re moving into that comes with a white dishwasher. …i promise to give you credit when i get done with it. thanks for the inspiration!!!
Katie – it was surprisingly easy, and made such a big different for the price! Good luck – i’d LOVE to see pics when you’re through!
