Decorate Your Kitchen On A Budget
Are you bored with your kitchen? You don't
need to spend thousands of dollars to give it a little face lift.
Just follow these tips and you'll make big changes on a little
budget.
Need a colorful window treatment? Simply purchase an inexpensive
basswood shade and paint it in a bright color. You can use a
partially dry brush and paint randomly for an aged look.
Paint your walls a bright, sunny yellow and randomly paint over a
few areas with a deeper yellow, a dark peach, and terra cotta. Mix
the paints with a glazing liquid and wipe each coat with a wet cloth
before the paint dries.
Paint your old cabinets with a few layers of paint using a dry
brush. You can purchase pin stripe tape for automobiles and apply it
just under the molding for an attractive accent.
Using a fabric panel with hook-and-loop fastening tape to create
skirting around your under-counter areas. You can cover aging
appliances such as dishwashers and worn cabinets with a colorful new
curtain that hangs from underneath the edge of your counter tops.
Use your mismatched dishes and cups to decorate a stylish shelf
hanging on your kitchen wall. Brightly colored dishes and hanging
teacups make cute decorations.
Use your treasured family photos to decorate a shelf or nooks. You
can use cheap picture frames and a cute shelf as an expression of
your home and your life.
If your counter tops are not what they once were, remove the old
surface and replace it with colorful, mismatched tiles you can
purchase for next to nothing at a discount home store. If your
counter tops are uneven, use a piece of plywood to even out the
surface before you put down the tiles.
If your refrigerator has seen its better days, have a local supplier
cut chalkboard to fit the front and glue it directly to the surface
of your refrigerator. Use pine boards to make a border and you will
have your own personal note center right on your refrigerator.
Decorating your kitchen need not be expensive. With a little
imagination and a little work you can turn even the most boring
kitchen into a work of art. Colorful curtains and paint will make a
huge difference in any kitchen. No matter how small or dark the
space may be.
