The homeowner decided that winter gate by Benjamin Moore would be her kitchen's new paint color. This brightens and complements her new brass fixtures and apron sink. To give the space an airy, modern look, she also added glass backsplash tiles. She added crown molding to the cabinets and painted the ceiling a bright white color.
The new layout makes more use of the kitchen's footprint. To create an open feeling, the homeowners removed one wall. They moved their hallway door closer to the window and turned the island around 180 degrees. Now, the kitchen is much more open throughout the entire space. The modern, airy design is achieved by a new dishwasher and white subway tile backsplash. The homeowners love the updated look.
The kitchen lacks flair and appeal. The homeowner took the top cabinet doors out and painted the bottom ones turquoise using glass knobs. She also installed bookshelves over the open cabinets. The new design was a huge improvement to the previously drab space. Adding a breakfast nook and new kitchen appliances gave the room a fresh look. The room was given a modern, open feel with a white countertop and a more contemporary style.
The kitchen was small and separated from the living room by a partition. This partition was annoying and had no use. The homeowners eventually decided to take down the partition and make a breakfast nook. The breakfast area opened up the kitchen and provided additional functionality. The homeowner also replaced the wood cabinets with contemporary open shelves. The homeowner updated the kitchen with a wider window and white cabinetry.
Chelsea Weitz and Nathan completed a kitchen remodel in less than a month. The couple prioritized functionality, style, and cost when making their decision.

How To
What amount should I spend to restore my old house?
The cost of renovating a home depends on how many rooms it is, what kind of renovations, where it is located, and whether the work will be done by professionals or you. Depending upon the size of the renovation, the average cost ranges between $10,000 and $50,000.
If you intend to sell your home soon after the renovation, the price you receive will be less than what the market value. You might even lose money if you put too little effort into making your home look its best before selling. You can increase the sale price of your home if you spend enough time and effort to improve its appearance.
These are some factors that will help you determine which projects you should start:
-
Your budget. Start small if you have a tight budget. If you have a limited budget, it is possible to tackle one room at time, such painting walls or replacing flooring. To make big changes, you can hire a contractor who is skilled in kitchen remodeling.
-
What are your priorities? Do you want to improve the overall condition of your home or just fix specific problems? One issue can become a major problem quickly, so it's important to choose a single area. For example, if your roof leaks after it rains you may have to replace it sooner than expected.
-
Your timeline. It's important to prioritise projects that don't impact the resale of your existing home if you plan on buying another property in the near future. You wouldn't, for instance, want to put hardwood floors in your new house or change the bathroom fixtures if you plan to move next year. To make these upgrades, it might be a good idea to wait until you leave your home.
-
Your skills. Find someone to help you if you don't have the necessary skills. A cabinet maker might be available to help you if your carpentry skills do not allow you to make custom cabinets.
