Give your kitchen a faceliftwithin any budget
A
s the heart of your home, the kitchen is the place where memories are made, life is lived, and hours are passed. But because it’s so well-loved, it’s a room that can use sprucing up from time to time. Since a full-on remodel is usually a once-ina- lifetime event, if that, it’s great to have options that can fit easily into any budget.
Take some fun candid photos of your kids in different poses on the same background. Or, if you’re like me, try to get your kids to pose and then give up and pretend you were going for candid all along. Print and laminate them (or frame them in plain white or black frames, if the budget permits) and hang vertically, one on top of the other, to mimic a fun photo booth strip.
You can also pick two or three colors that look great with your kitchen and give your kids art supplies in a variety of shades of those colors. Laminate and hang, or frame, if budget permits. Save colored glass wine bottles to use as bud vases, and fill with pastel florals from Dollar Tree.
Group together bottles in a variety of sizes and shapes to keep things visually interesting and use them as an island or kitchen table centerpiece. Dollar-store vases filled with fruit also make a gorgeous counter top or tabletop centerpiece.
