Our kitchens are a focal point in our home and are usually the most expensive when it comes to updating or redesigning. You can spend tens of thousands of dollars easily but we’re going to give you budget-friendly kitchen redesign ideas!

Paint

A coat of paint will brighten up the room and paint the cabinets. The trick with painting cabinets is the prepping. It takes putting in some elbow grease but will save a lot money. Depending if your cabinets are already painted, you may need to strip them first. If not, you’ll need to sand them a bit- this helps the fresh paint to stick. You should also always seal the paint with a clear to help stop the chipping. Don’t forget to clean everything before painting, you don’t want to paint over old grease or dirt. This is not a day project so plan on a weekend.

Replace Counters
