See our makeover!
Compared to our previous place, the kitchen in our current home was a dream when we first moved in. Two people could cook in the kitchen at once! The appliances were made during our lifetime! There were no baby cockroaches under our sink! We soaked up the all that luxury for about a year before all that wood finally got on our nerves.

We began to dream of stainless steel replacing the off-white stove and a refrigerator that actually fit our kitchen. Our goal was to make it light and airy–a challenge with black granite countertops, to be sure. My Pinterest board was filled with gorgeous open shelving, white subway tile, and lots and lots of brass.
However, we had a teeny tiny budget. I’m talking miniscule. We certainly couldn’t afford to remodel (sigh), so we came up with a budget and a plan:

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
It looks like you replaced the refrigerator, dishwasher, stove, light fixtures, etc as well as painted the cabinets and adding a backsplash. I recently was trying to find a modestly priced refrigerator ($1000-1200) and stove ($600-700) which hits your total budget. These prices were during the Black Friday sales at several locations. Your refrigerator and stove look higher end than I was considering so I am confused about how you managed to get so much done/replaced for less than $2000. Can you break down the prices for us and indicate what you hired to have done vs what you did yourself?
Thanks
