So many people dream about redoing their kitchen but look at the cost of new cabinets, new counters, new appliances and put it squarely in the one day pile. Thankfully, clever makeovers like this remind us that it’s not always about getting more – sometimes it’s about doing more with what you have.

By removing cupboards and doors, repainting, making her own curtains, and adding DIY pieces Rita at harbour breeze completely transformed her kitchen for under $200.

I love that Rita kept and modified so many of the original features of the kitchen.

You can see the full makeover including the budget and most stages of the transformation from the dresser makeover to painting the cupboards at harbour breeze.
