1950

The new space has a "massive cozy factor," the DIYer says.

The paint color is pretty and timeless.

The vanity was too bulky, and the mirror was “laughably wrong” for the room.

The original East Atlanta garage was built in 1950, but you’d never be able to tell because the space is so modern now.

Paint for the win!

“We needed more storage and more space. And perhaps a bit more glam!" the homeowner says.

“We love that our kitchen is bright, happy, spacious, and effective when it comes to storage,” the homeowner says.

It’s now cleverly divided into spaces for dining, lounging, gardening, and more.

The project involved new brick, a new porch, and more.

Best yet, the upgrades only cost $1,000.

Now, the DIYer says the kitchen “feels like walking into a giant hug.”

It’s all in the details!

Preserving their kitchen's original cabinets "saved a tremendous amount of time and money," the homeowner says.

It's polished (literally) and looks new again, but still honors its vintage roots.

The once childish space is now unrecognizable — and very, very cool.

It features a surprising — and gorgeous — new wall color.
