Don’t have the budget or time to tackle a major kitchen remodel? The following ideas can be helpful if you are getting ready to list your house for sale or want to spruce up and customize a kitchen space in a newly purchased home.
1. Paint existing cabinets in a color that creates the mood that you are shooting for.

2. If you have lots of cabinet space you can create an open shelving feel by removing some cabinet doors to expose the shelves. Don’t forget to fill nail holes and consider a fresh coat of paint on the wall behind the shelves.
3. Update cabinet hardware like hinges, drawer pulls, knobs, and light switches.
4. Spruce up a plain backsplash with a pretty stencil, adhesive tiles, or traditional grouted tiles.
5. If you have caned lights consider using a recessed-can converter kit to hang a statement making pendant light. You can find them at home stores or on websites like www.thecanconverter.com

6. Mismatched appliances? Give them new life by refacing them with an adhesive panel. Most popular of course is stainless but you can even create your own custom panels to match whatever mood or color theme you are dreaming of. Check out www.applianceart.com for ideas and products
