Jenna sent us an email about her recent renovation project: Last week we just completed our big kitchen reno… on a budget! Here are some before & after details:

Before:
Pink walls, beige formica counters, old white tile floors, chrome and brass fixtures, 90’s whitewashed oak cabinets, mismatched fluorescent panel lighting, empty unused walls and lack of counter space.

After:
Painted white cabinets, all new hardware, open shelving, recessed lighting, new tile floors, granite counters, stainless steel undermount sink, glass subway tile backsplash, and a built in bar cabinet which nearly doubled our counter space.

We estimate the entire project came in at or around $5k–we saved a ton by keeping the white appliances and using gift cards we had saved up at Lowe’s.
