Kitchen

Number 2 might surprise you.

And it’s storage-packed with 22 drawers!

“I learned a lot about colors and textures [and] how to make smaller areas feel bigger,” the homeowner says.

The homeowners had just one request: Bring on the color.

Food storage, but make it chic.

“The whole kitchen is now a statement piece that is also fun and very functional,” the apartment owner says.

The “dated and boring” kitchen gets an airy and beachy vibe.

It’s the perfect balance of spacious and cozy.

The kitchen wasn’t expanded, but the space is now used in a much smarter way.

“I loved the concrete floors, 13-foot-high ceilings … and that it was a pretty neutral canvas to work with,” the renter says. “I did not love all the gray and the super-white walls.”

Goodbye, peeling floors.

The vision was deVOL on a budget.

The wood cabinets stayed the same, but they look meant-to-be in this kitchen now.

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

“The overall vibe was beige,” the DIYer says of the “before.”

The new kitchen is a classic neutral with brass accents.

“I love that I didn't have to do a gut renovation in order to create something completely different,” the renter says.

“I’m on a journey to cook more and use Uber Eats a little less,” this renter says — and now she has a kitchen where that can happen.

They even removed the upper cabinets!

“All the sudden, it felt like a proper kitchen and not just a rental with a hodgepodge of random cabinets and appliances,” the homeowner says.

The renter decided to lean in to the features her apartment came with.

The facelift brought the space into the 21st century but honored the homeowner's love of vintage.

It’s unrecognizable!

The "after" is totally unlike the all-white before.

The renter calls it a "mini renovation."

They range from budget-savvy refreshes to total transformations — and all are stunning.

The quirkier the better, according to the homeowners.

The cabinets had been pristinely maintained by the previous owners but were still looking pretty dated.

The transformation brings the outdoors in.
