This marble-print surface cover is so easy to use: measure your kitchen countertop, cut the amount you'll need, peel off the adhesive liner, and stick it on! That's it! Some reviewers also recommend using a credit card to gently smooth out any bubbles that may pop up in the process.
If you want to spruce up other areas around home, this cover also works great for cabinets and other pieces of furniture (bookcases, desks, dressers, and more).
Promising review: "I fell in love with this contact paper. I used it in my kitchen to turn my counter from black marble to white marble and they came out amazing. I wanted to do my whole house!. I love that it's so easy to clean also, anything and everything has been spilled on the counter after application and everything has come off with no residue left behind! Will for sure be ordering again for further home projects!" —Ari M. Esparza

Promising review: "I use peel-and-stick decals all the time, and this was easily the most stress-free one. It comes with two pieces, and is even easy to peel back off to reposition. Pro tip: for long pieces like these, the fastest way to apply without bubbles and wrinkles is to apply from top to bottom, with a squeegee along the way down." —Jasmine Baker

Promising review: "So I have this tiny balcony for a studio apartment and I wanted something cute to fill up the space. This set is the most affordable and there were so many choices of colors. When I went for a walk around my apartment complex, I noticed some of the neighbors have the exact same set. Since my balcony is so small and I rarely have visitors, I only set up one of the chairs. I plan to get a small succulent next to decorate it." —Bunny

Promising review: "If wavy mirrors have been occupying rent-free space in your head but you don't possess the funds to cop one, then here's an under-$100 MVP for you! I very quickly carted this $20 Amazon find after going on a hunt for affordable blob mirrors (spoiler alert: there aren't many) and was not disappointed. Although it's small and not very hefty it serves its vibey purpose." —Tim Monaghan

These string lights are waterproof, can be used indoors and outdoors, and have eight light settings you can control with a remote.
Promising review: "I got two sets of these lights for two different windows, and they really are so pretty! I love all the different settings there are, and they really just make your place nice and cozy at night! Hopefully they last a long time! It did take some time to wind them around the curtain rod, but if you follow the instructions and don't open them until you've tied them around the rod, they should not get tangled. I'm using them indoors, so no comment on how weatherproof they are." —Victoria C.

Promising review: "It's perfect for pool areas! It wasn't what I expected but i actually like it better. If I had to describe it...I'd describe very soft straws (like drinking straws) woven into a carpet. It doesn't stay wet and it doesn't get hot so it is perfect for our pool patio. It is light weight though, so if you don't have something set on it or put it away during a storm it will blow around." —Andrea Malcolm

Promising review: "I fell in love with these beautiful airy curtains last summer and used them in my front long windows in my den. This spring, I decided to update several rooms in my home and found these on Amazon again, so I covered the back den windows. It’s so nice to walk into that room and see how bright it is. I also love the colors in the mix of beige, lavender, light brown and a soft gray." —Susan Marschall

Promising review: "I am chronically cold and have a bunch of very nice knit cardigans. I usually end up leaving them laying over chair backs or recliners and cluttering things up, so I bought these to have a good place to hang them. The thick wood prevents stretching damage from the weight of the sweaters, and not using a hook prevents damage and holes in the knit. Definitely worth the upgrade." —Lynn M
