"I’m regularly pinching myself when I see this total dream kitchen in my own home,” the homeowner says.

I’m a novice DIYer, and this project was a total breeze.

The countertops are an unexpected fun throwback.

Paint is the ultimate problem solver in this 100-square-foot kitchen.

The goal was to add “personality and warmth” to a once all-white kitchen.

Three DIY projects transform the space.

She did it (almost) all by herself for under $12,000.

You won’t believe how much a can of paint can transform a space.

There are a few things to keep in mind.

The "after" looks so different that you'd never guess it's renter-friendly.

The overall footprint is still the same, but the “after” feels like a much taller space.

The renter picked colors she wouldn't get sick of.

Number three is absolutely ingenious!

The whole transformation cost just $250.

Your kitchen makeover just got a lot simpler.

It was previously “an outdated beige on beige on beige mess” — until this smart update.
