“The DIY Kitchen Upgrade That Cost Me Less Than $200”

I wanted to update my kitchen, but the idea of a full remodel felt way out of my budget. Instead, I decided to tackle a DIY upgrade that would make a big impact without the hefty price tag. For under $200, I gave my kitchen a fresh look by painting the cabinets, swapping out the old hardware for modern pulls, and installing a new backsplash using peel-and-stick tiles. The whole project took me just a weekend, and the results were amazing—my kitchen felt brand new. I also added a few budget-friendly accessories to give it a cozy, stylish vibe. If you want to give your kitchen a facelift but don’t have the money for a major renovation, this is the perfect solution. A few small changes can make a huge difference without costing you an arm and a leg.
