They Stretched Every Dollar and Gave Their Kitchen a Contemporary Redo
When food blogger Christine Han and her partner moved into their Brooklyn apartment in the summer of 2021, they knew they had a big renovation project ahead of them.

Stop Hosting Boring Dinner Parties — Do This Super-Low-Effort, Fun Night-In Instead
In theory, hosting a dinner party is wonderful. But somewhere between planning the menu, shopping for groceries, cooking, and setting the table, what should be a fun evening with friends can easily become an exhausting project. The pressure to time every dish perfectly and make everything look “just so” often drains the joy out of the night. As the host, you’re stuck doing the work preparing (and often cleaning up) while everyone else unwinds and spends quality time together.

Teal Walls Made This Kitchen Feel Dated — 3 DIYs Changed Everything
When Orima Kamalu describes the former kitchen in her colorful, DIY-filled house, it’s hard not to wonder why she wanted to make any changes at all.“The original kitchen was always a lovely, large open space with plenty of storage and room to move around. The units were all gloss-white with chrome-effect bar handles,” she explains. However, while the kitchen (which Orima thinks was last updated in the early 2000s) was functional, it wasn’t exactly their style.

I Used to Hate the Weird Kitchen Layout in My 136-Year-Old Home
When you’re in a hot housing market, there’s a give and take to finding (and affording) the perfect house. For me, my compromise was that I chose to buy a major fixer-upper, rather than a move-in ready home. But the second compromise I made was a little less expected — and had to do with the strange layout of the house.You’ll often hear that you can find “deals” on houses that have quirks that might appeal to a specific buyer.
