Before & Afters

It all came together in three short weeks!

For $150!

The color is completely unexpected.

Wait until you see the pink chairs.

"It is so refreshing to open the drawer and not see chaos!"

You won't believe what some peel-and-stick tiles can do!

It's absolutely picture-perfect now.

When it comes to revamping your kitchen, you really don’t have to do a full renovation to see a drastic change.

Even though this project looks bespoke, they were able to keep the cost of the built-ins to just $550.

One little change, and everything else fell into place!

It only took 3 weeks to complete!

There's hidden storage everywhere!

If even features an inflatable pool!

The breakfast counter is unlike anything we've ever seen before!

Wait until you see the stunning Italian stove.

"If you put your mind to it, you can do it. You don't need to do it in a day but slowly and you will get there."

Staying true to your home's origins not only ensures that the new kitchen will look at home — it's also a way of future-proofing your renovation.

The entire project cost $1200 (but it looks like it cost way more!).

Plenty of storage, lots of airy Scandinavian-inspired finishes, big windows to let in natural light, and a freestanding island with tons of counter space!

Wait until you see the cabinet color they chose!

They used multiple space-defining strategies to create an inviting space.

Featuring 2022's trendiest silhouette: the arch.

No, it's not paint!

It lets in so much light now!

We would like to eat out there, please!

Wait until you see the pretty wallpaper!

The floors! The thrifted cabinets! The budget!

The original kitchen did not flow ... at all.

You've gotta check out the painted fridge.

Other people would have torn this cabin down entirely!

I didn't have to buy a single thing!

The kitchen is the best part!

Including a 1950s kitchen that gets refreshed for $2,500!

It's beachy yet sophisticated!

Bye bye, popcorn ceilings!

We're very into the cabinet hardware, too.

Including tips for those brown cabinets, empty walls, and more.

Prior to its renovation, the kitchen in this 1,200-square-foot Austin fixer-upper suffered from poor design and a lot of wasted space. The boxy cabinets fit awkwardly on the wall, and the muddy grays were tired. The owners knew they’d need to “put the walls to work” when they overhauled it, and did they ever! Check out the stunning ‘After’ photo below:What a dramatic change!

No access to the breaker box? No problem!

Those arched cabinets really make the space!

The hex-shaped terracotta tile is stunning.

This house had no dining room, so a designer created one.

Bet you couldn't tell that's a peel-and-stick backsplash!

It's unconventional, but it works!

Is there any kitchen area more prone to neglect than the area under the sink? Well, perhaps the junk drawer, but since I conquered that last week, it was time to tackle the towering mess of cleaners, sponges, brushes, and bottles that had taken up residence in my sink cabinet. I really don’t know how it got like this. I swear, I think everything just showed up one day, like squatters. Sponge squatters! Dish soap interlopers! They were living under my sink, and it was time to clean house.

The gold leafing!

The initial pantry was fine but it lacked organization.

The new space is a white-on-white minimalist kitchen.

Before, anyone standing at the stove would be blocking the only entrance into the kitchen!

It's gorgeous and it looks like it's always been there!

The bar was actually designed by Wes Anderson!

The creative updates suddenly make the outdated flooring and counters seem cool.

Think: appliances, counters, and cabinets.

Wait until you see their backsplash!

That's right. That price tag includes new appliances!

The before was "Easter egg yellow."

The cabinets got to stay!

There's even terrazzo peel-and-stick covering the counters!

On the homeowners' wishlist: more storage, better lighting, a larger sink, better ventilation, and a new backsplash.

Apparently the space was originally supposed to be a bedroom!

"I'm now making better use out of my corner cabinet!"

The designer touches make the kitchen look super luxe.

Featuring a bookcase that's now a bench!

It cost less than $50 to do.

And it was done using leftover materials from other projects!

Not a doggie door!

The homeowners knocked down a wall just two hours after closing on the house!

The cabinets are stunning.

The whole thing cost $3,000.

The whole thing cost me just $74.

This homeowner had a smart idea to make her old, black appliances fit in with the new space.

A more functional layout helps, too!
