Ugly kitchen

We're totally inspired to paint our kitchen now.

Of any room in the house, a kitchen is a make-or-break feature when it comes to someone choosing to buy a new home or walk away. One of the things we often ask people to tell us is, “things I hate about my kitchen” so we can determine their priorities. You might be able to live with your kitchen—for now—or it’s driving you to make a change. Is it a quick fix or a reason to move?So, when we ask people what they don’t like about their current kitchen, we get a wide variety of answers.“It’s too…

We’ve all been there: Living in a rental apartment that might be great for any number of reasons, but has one fatal flaw. Usually a fridge that’s too small, floors that have seen better days, cabinets that don’t measure up, or countertops that hail from a bygone decade. Luckily, a few of these can be fixed. Today we’re looking at countertops. There are a few things you can do to hide those unsightly laminate or tile counters.

Stephanie and Jon had wanted to redo the kitchen in their 680-square-foot Madison home for 18 years. They knew the space was sad; as it was, there was little storage and workspace, cabinet doors didn’t close, and the room lacked any and all personality. Then they saw that, thanks to a grant, a local green-building consulting firm was offering design plans at a discount. The result: a kitchen with improved functionality and a look as fresh as a blue sky on a sunny day.

I live in an apartment that has no window in the kitchen. I have permission to paint and update the cabinets, counters, and back splash. I am not allowed to renovate or remove anything.

The dining room light is all I can actually use. Ps. I dont want plain white on white. I like little pops of color. But staying in the neutr…

We heard about Audra’s kitchen project at this week’s Apartment Therapy Design Evening. Audra had one of those kitchens. You know, the blah ones with the standard-issue cabinets. She wanted to give her kitchen a little bit of personality, but as a renter, she didn’t have a lot of options. So she decided to get creative.Audra carefully removed the doors to her cabinets and asked the super to store them in the basement.
