Our $850 Kitchen Renovation

We were tired of living with our builder grade kitchen (and faded cabinets) but didn't have the budget to completely overhaul things. We pinched every penny that we could, while still giving the kitchen the more modern feel that we wanted. By painting the cabinets, laying our own backsplash tile, working with the counter top we had, building our own table, thrifting new accessories, and selling some of our old stuff, we were able to complete this whole reno for just over $850.

Many more photos along with a complete budget breakdown and links to all of the kitchen projects are available at http://www.aswellplacetodwell.com/2012/10/ki...

Wonderful job! Especially for that cost. Were we younger, I would paint my cabinets! But well past that kind of project.
