I want to share with you all how you can update your kitchen by yourself and not break the bank!
Let me start by showing you what our kitchen looked like before we moved in. Not hideous, but it was lacking a lot of love and that huge impact we wanted to make.
We didn't spend $25,000 on a new kitchen, and we didn't have to! I love our kitchen. I love every single thing we have done to it. Are there still a few things I want to change? Hell yeah I do! But, there are always things we are going to want to change about our home. We have many many years ahead of us and many projects left. A house becomes your home when you put work and love into it. What matters is what we can do and what we have done, and how much hard work we have already put into this place. Our kitchen updates cost us about $1,500 and we did everything ourselves.
1. Update the cabinet hardware.
2. Install an island.
3. Add subway tile & open shelving.
4. Update the light fixtures.
5. Repaint trim around windows and doors, & update window treatments.
Completing these small updates will make a HUGE impact on your kitchen! Check out the blog link below to get more details on this post, and follow me on Instagram @thebelmontranch for more home decor/home remodeling updates!

Anna Smith on Aug 13, 2016Well done; it looks lovely. Why not put your bench on wheels? I did...it's great, move aroun,d( not breaking what's inside the cupboard), and clean under without back-breaking work!
