An Remarkable $1000 Kitchen Makeover
Hold on to your jaws people because otherwise they’ll be on the floor in a few moments. Jordan and her husband have totally flipped their kitchen for simply over a thousand dollars. And the result is nothing short of spectacular. Here is Jordan’s letter:
I have been obsessed with y’alls journal for a while now. I check it every day! Me and the hubs at last picked up a house this spring and simply like you folks, we are in love with it. We are full time photographers (as opposed to designers or renovators) but I could paint and decorate for days without food or drink! I simply enjoy making things over!
We transformed the kitchen on a fairly tight budget. $1,207 to be exact!
But we certainly did our best to make our money go a loooong way. Simply look at the difference:
Painting the cabinets and switching out the counters made for quite a change. And the stainless steel appliances that we already had certainly popped thanks to the change. Hanging a new light fixture above the sink also truly changed the feeling of the room, and the new sink adds so much personality.
Here is a little breakdown of everything that we used:
- $20 – Paint for the cabinets (Olympic Dogwood Blossom)
- $0 – Primer for the cabinets (we already had it)
- $0 – Paint for the walls (do not remember the name, but we had it forever)
- $20 – Beadboard for the front of the peninsula (Home Depot)
- $620 – Oak Numerar countertops (Ikea)
- $185 – Sink (Ikea)
- $98 – Faucet (Home Depot)
- $86 – Knobs (Anthropologie)
- $100 – White subway tile backspash (Home Depot)
- $78 – Light fixture over sink (Ikea)
- $0 – Stools (we already had them in another room)
- TOTAL: $1,207
I am so excited because I at last have a wrapped up room to send you all. Thanks so much The house team! – Jordan at landonjacob.com
Is not it remarkable? It is simply another example of how Ikea can come to the rescue when it comes to creating affordable room transformations – that and doing the work yourself to save some serious loot. We are totally in love with what Jordan and her husband did that we are simply about ready to invite ourselves over for breakfast. Pleasant work folks! And what do you people at home think? Does it have you looking at your kitchen in a whole new way? What is your go-to part?
