Another Reader Gets The Glossy Treatment: a house log

Our readers have officially scored a hat trick with Better Homes & Garden’s Kitchen + Bath Makeovers magazine. Like Lindsay and Jessica before her, Christina’s affordable kitchen makeover (which we shared as a Reader Redesign back in February) landed in the magazine’s “Do It For Less” section after they saw it here on YHL. Yeah, we are doing the glad dance right along with them.

Here is Christina’s and her husband Trevor’s starring page that shows off their dramatic $1,400 kitchen transformation (and no we did not forget a zero on that number). Plus it was a total gut job (they even replaced appliances, the floor and the cabinets for that unbelievable price). Congrats Christina and Trevor on the feature! Well played, handy homeowners. And thanks for giving us a shout out! We are totally blushing.

And on the subject of remarkable kitchen makeovers on a seriously enviable budget, what is the best deal you’ve scored when it comes to your kitchen? Have you snagged a secondhand appliance on craigstlist, negotiated a killer deal on cabinets, or even found hardware on ebay? Do tell. Here is the story of how we took home a free dishwasher along with a especially low-cost faucet and sink back in the day. Do not good deals make you feel like the king of the world? It cannot simply be me…
