Kitchen

A 2-foot transformation made the kitchen look a little more bespoke.

“Creativity beats cash, and a little stubbornness can make even a landlord-friendly kitchen feel luxurious,” the DIYer says.

Before, the kitchen was closed-off with shutter-style doors.

It adds instant patina.

It’s gorgeous!

My partner and I had to decide where to splurge and where to save.

It’s wonderfully wild!

As with most DIY projects, there were surprises along the way.

“It was a diamond in the rough," the homeowner says.

These kitchen cabinets are stunning.

The paint color is enveloping.

The floors were a labor of love.

It looks way more expensive than it is.

She did the entire thing herself!

This interior decorator is allergic to white walls.

Before, it looked bad, and it smelled even worse. 

It only cost $400.

It’s very nostalgic.

The kitchen "had all the character but needed some depth,” the renter says.

I couldn’t believe it!

The pattern play is everything.

I literally thought it was peel-and-stick wallpaper.

“I was excited to bring this kitchen up to code and bring it life and a personality,” the DIYer says.

The homeowner wanted to minimize waste in her kitchen transformation.

Upgrading the cabinets made a huge difference.

I employed a few low-lift changes that made all the difference in the snug-but-functional cook space.

The transformation cost under $500, and it feels like “a little jewel box” now.

TikTok commenters are divided.

You've got to see the dazzling herringbone backsplash!

Say goodbye to countertop appliances for good.

It looks completely different — for under $5,000.

You’re probably already struggling with this tough choice.

“I’m pretty sure this kitchen hasn’t seen an update since Beyoncé went solo,” the homeowner says.

They even discovered a whole new doorway hidden in the walls.

The home was formerly used as a college rental, so the kitchen had “dingy” and “grubby” vibes going in.

It hadn't been updated since the 1940s!

There's a design feature inspired by the London Tube.
