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.
