Our dishwasher is super old and disgusting. Let's see what we can do without actually
buying a new one because it's just not in the budget. I grabbed a sheet of beadboard from my
local building supply store and I cut it down to size. I sanded all the edges and then wiped
the back clean. You want to make sure it's really clean so that the glue will stick well.
I grabbed this roll of magnetic strip and I cut it to size of the beadboard length.
I cut three strips. I pulled the adhesive backing off and added Gorilla Glue. I thought it might
need to be a bit stronger. I flipped it over and while it was drying I applied two coats of paint
to the beadboard. I used some sample cans and mixed them up to create this beautiful neutral color.
I applied it using a small roller. Okay let's see if this is gonna work. The top part of our
dishwasher is damaged but it still works fine so I added some towels to the top and you'd never know
just how ugly this thing is underneath. It is so much less trashy and it was so easy to do.
This is such a great way to upgrade your dishwasher or any appliance in your kitchen.
Replacing appliances can be costly but now you don't have to with this simple,
inexpensive and easy upgrade on a budget.
