The insides of the cupboards are gross too.... someone tried to brighten them up by putting in some light colored 80's themed contact paper-- complete with the teal and lavender designs. I'm sure after several years wear and tear they had good intentions, but our cupboards needed a little face lift.
Since we're only renters, it's hard to want to put in the effort to paint or do any serious home improvement projects... afterall, who wants to put time and money into someone else's home? I finally decided that we could afford some new contact paper. I have to admit, for only spending $6.00.... it looks like a million bucks compared to what I started with. I only have one of the lower cabinets done... so I'll just show you the finished product. (Sorry I forgot to take before pictures.)
I can't wait til I own my very own home, and I can do permenant projects. Ahhh.... the life of a renter. Although there are definate pros of renting...so I won't complain too much. :o

And here is the AFTER:
Looks a little brighter and cleaner don't you think?

I know what you mean. We rented for SO long - I swear we paid for more than half that scumbags house! And made it BETTER for him.
Your cupboards look nice. Orderly, just like you. And I like the fact that there IS food in there! Seeing food on my shelves makes me happy!
Love,
