Small-Budget Kitchen Renovation Ideas

With cooking areas, easy does not always equal structured. For these homeowners the kitchen that included their Highland Park condominium fell short on both frills and function. It was a sad space, that consisted of builder-grade cabinets and white laminate counters. Opening the dishwashing machine blocked the oven door and vice versa.

They utilized a little DIY-know-how for their budget kitchen area remodel and eliminated, repainted, and re-installed the cabinets. They also acquired a damp saw and cut the glass tiles for their backsplash themselves.

Paint On Some Wall Stripes

Even in long-haul remodels, some areas cry out for prompt design attention. For a household moving into a brand-new home in Chicago, IL, that area was the first-floor bath. Found in between an office and the family room, it's one of the most trafficked of the 1927 farmhouse's 3 baths and 2 powder rooms. It sported bare drywall and grungy carpeting.

A full redo wasn't in their budget, however they chose to make the space simply a bit "less awkward." Refinishing everything from the plywood subfloor to the initial sink fixtures with paint, this budget bathroom remodel was completed in about four weekends.

Shop Online and Save

You invest weeks fastidiously choosing cabinets and looking into countertops or, in some cases, you simply get lucky. During a remodel, a couple from Massachusetts encountered an ad for a kitchen area showroom that was offering and moving off a total flooring design. They were skeptical, but checked it out anyhow-- and it worked!

They paid $6,675 for base and upper cabinets, plus extra kitchen cabinetry, trim, side panels, and appliances, then adjusted the setup for their galley-style kitchen area.

Sometimes staying versatile is the secret to remodelling success. It's how this Winnetka, Illinois homeowner had the ability to afford her bath's overhaul on simply $4,000. The upstairs bath in her 1921 Tudor Revival was in bad shape, total with a rust-stained tub and split tile floor. Already redoing the kitchen area and downstairs baths, she asked her contractor to squeeze in tweaks to the one upstairs. He offered her a stash of marble tile-- left over from another task-- at half rate! She said yes, although yellow wasn't her first choice.

Maintain Retro Charm and Save Big

One Milton, Massachusetts, couple offered their old kitchen a trendy yet frugal remodeling. They wished to keep some of the initial retro details like the stainless-steel sink and metal cabinets. After deciding to opt for primarily surface updates to their kitchen, they saved a huge chunk of cash-- and maintained the kitchen area's vintage charm.

Take a look at The $645 Kitchen Remodel to pick up a couple of money-saving pointers and style concepts.

Split the Workload With a Contractor

Inspect out how this Missouri couple got creative-- and a little unclean-- to make their perfect area a truth if the bath of your dreams seems out of reach. Their smart move? Once the drywall and subfloor were in and did the cosmetic work themselves, they bid their contractor goodbye. The result is this spa-like retreat.

Completing the work themselves, they stayed under their set $6,000 cap and were able to fill the space with high-end fixtures and surfaces, such as a claw-foot tub, marble tile floorings, a generous glassed-in shower, and a furniture-style vanity.

Smart Kitchen Storage

When people walk into your house, you hope the first rooms they see make a good impression. For these house owners, that suggested working weekends and nights creating a much better, more efficient cooking area. Putting in new upper cabinets added much required storage space. They likewise dressed up the dated room with brand-new hardware, fixtures, and trim.

Total Eyesore to Tranquil Retreat

Often it takes an addition to the household to kick a remodel into high equipment. Such was the case for this couple in Syracuse, New York. "Skeeved out" by the grim in the full bath left behind by previous owners, they dealt with the eyesore by taking quick showers-- never baths. Once they discovered they had a child on the way, they began shopping sales and eBay for discounted components and produced a welcoming bath in their 1925 cottage, piece by piece.

Deal Hunters Get a Luxe-Look for Less

How do you manage stainless steel and stone on an almond-bisque-and-laminate spending plan? For this Connecticut couple the answer was to protect aspects of the existing kitchen that were still in good shape, cut out labor expenses by doing the work themselves, and shop sales and Craigslist.

They remained within the $6,000 budget by keeping the fundamental design, painting the oak cabinets rather than changing them, taking a woodworking course, and trolling the Internet and wandering big-box shops in search of well-priced replacements.

In some spaces, surface modifications can make a huge impact. The owner of this 1935 bungalow in Durham, North Carolina, enjoyed the size of the cooking area. "But otherwise," she states, "it was just dirty, revolting, and dated."

Without any budget for a total renovate, she chose to use easy, low-cost touches to give the room a make over and highlight initial information, such as hardwood floors and the scalloped wood valance above the sink window. While all the cabinets and home appliances are the same, brand-new paint, fabric panels, and nickel-finished hardware offer the room a vibrant makeover.
