It’s finally here! The One Room Challenge reveal day! I am so very excited and a little bit proud, to show you my Kitchen Makeover On A Budget.

This post contains affiliate links at no extra cost to you. Please see my full disclosure here.
One thing I mentioned in the first week, which you can see below, is this was not a full scale kitchen renovation.
As I am renting there are certain things I cannot do, but I was able to make budget and renter-friendly cosmetic changes in just a few short weeks. You seriously can make a big difference in a room with cosmetic changes, which is one of the things I like to share on my blog.


Kitchen Entry Storage Ideas
Anyone who comes to our townhouse always enters in the side kitchen door so we will start there. I like that the kitchen has pergo floors and is a fairly large room. The negative about entering in the side door is the first thing you see when you walk in is the side of the refrigerator!

I decided to go with it and actually decorate the area by adding a Deacon’s Bench that serves a dual purpose. It’s a great spot to sit and take off/put on your shoes as you come and go AND the bench opens so you can keep your shoes there. This is very helpful and it’s deep enough to hold about 10 pair of shoes.

Next week, I’ll have a tutorial for the pretty Welcome Home canvas. As this is a budget-friendly makeover, you will see a lot of DIY and craft projects.
Plus, I just like to add my own personal stamp to a home! I will share links for the projects as we go. Also, feel free to ask me any questions in the comments below. I do my best to respond. Here is the opposite side showing the kitchen entry:

This navy and white buffalo check fabric is so pretty! You will see 3 different versions of no-sew buffalo check curtains in the kitchen. Here is the tutorial.
Storage was something I really needed and this large hutch has two large cabinet shelves for storage and I found a slender cabinet that fit right in as well.





Kitchen Makeover – Budget Friendly Update

My favorite thing that I did in the kitchen was add the Subway Tile Backsplash. If you didn’t see last week, this is peel and stick! It is so easy to install and you seriously cannot tell it’s wall paper unless you touch it. Crazy right?

Very creative use of space, and-as you say. going with it. Making the side of the refrigerator your "welcome home spot" is genius! It all looks welcoming and cheerful - especially because I love buffalo check!! Visiting from Across the Boulevard.
