Yes!  Cover a clip board, too!

All sorts of ideas on Pinterest re: recovering clip boards.

Also, nice to use in drawers so items aren't touching wood in drawers. 

Easy to clean, too, when used in the kitchen.

Cover empty cans with contact paper.  

Cover inside of a white bookshelf, including the back of each open shelf.  All sorts of possibilities.

Anyway, very easy to cover just about anything.

Just search Pinterest for inspiration.

I saw it in a bed and breakfast rooms drawers. Why is it there? Like why is it anywhere?

As soon as the drawers that I wipe dry I use contact, I do the same thing on our lazy susans in the corner cupboards. Keeps everything easy to clean!

@Bonkers1   I lined the drawers and shelves when we moved here. If someone lived here before us (yes, they did), I'd want MY stuff not lying on their stuff.

I used something that looked like "plastic netting". It just lifts out to clean and you cut to size. It looks like that roll of what you use to hold throw rugs from slipping.

Good for covering the X-rated book you are reading on public transportation...

Only one drawback with last type you described:  After a few years of heavy duty use on the glassware and cup shelves, I started to find random tiny pieces of cream color "confetti."  The little raised non-Slip nubs were wearing off.

I had wondered where this little dot floating on my tea was from !!!

Do they still make 'contact paper'?

I remember using it and fighting with it, LOL.

I did recently purchase 'Pioneer Woman's drawer paper, and didn't use much because I'm looking for a house.

But it seemed thicker than the ones I remember, still a pain to work with.

I seem to be soooooo old that I remember my mom using white paper and folding under the edges.  Anyone else?

Still Raining.......

Coincidence that you mentioned white paper........

Just recently (a couple of months ago), I lined white shelves with.....................wait for it..........

brown moving paper.   

I didn't have the patience to re-paint the shelves where I store canned goods, so I lined them with sheets of that very light brown moving/packing paper.

It kind of blends in, and nobody seems to have noticed (or commented) on it.

I, too, folded it under each shelf and scotch taped it underneath.
