Kitchen Update UNDER $400!!

You read that right, a few months ago I had the opportunity to give my best friend a kitchen makeover, on a serious budget.

My friend Shayla lives in California in an inherited farmhouse. Not Joanna Gains status farmhouse, but literally a house on a working diary farm. This house was originally built in the 1960's and had many updates and additions, but the kitchen was never touched except for newer appliances.

Money being a concern, but also sick of looking at her run-down ranch kitchen, Shayla turned to me to help her. She gave me a budget of around $700, but I knew I could do better than that. So the planning began!

How did we keep such a small budget? Easy, DIY and budget materials!

  • Painted cabinets

  • New hardware for cabinets (knobs and hinges)

  • Contact paper on the counter tops

  • Peel & Stick subway backsplash

  • Light kit for above sink (can converter)

Here are some before shots (did I also mention Shayla breeds the sweetest dogs?!):
