Girl Power
With the help of an inspired and creative contractor, the homeowner made big changes in her home's tiny kitchen.
DIY Tip: Ditch the single overhead light fixture in favor of pendants, track lighting, and task lamps. Use a mirror to bounce light around dark spaces.
The Problem
When the homeowner first laid eyes on her home, she fell in love with every room -- except the small kitchen. For less than $4,500, she now has a modern kitchen equally suited for hosting dinner parties and cozying up with her morning coffee.
The Solution: Tops on the homeowner's wish list: a fresh palette, a pretty window seat, and better lighting. She could live with existing neutral floor and countertops, so they stayed, freeing funds for more dramatic changes, such as tiled walls and an expanded entryway.
Stage 1: Dark & Dim
Bland walls and maroon cabinets fall short in the style department. But a bold streak of blue forecasts a bright future for this kitchen.
Stage 2: Perfect Palette
A new tile backsplash connects deep charcoal lower cabinets with crisp white uppers. The updated window seat adds needed storage.
