As the mother of three boys, I can attest to the fact that they don’t walk into a kitchen and notice outdated light fixtures or tired appliances. They don’t see worn linoleum and fading formica countertops. They don’t care if the cabinets coordinate with the backsplash. They are there for one reason alone: to get food into their mouth hole.
So when Erin’s son kept referring to their kitchen as “the ugliest kitchen in the whole town,” she knew it was beyond time for a change.
Spending less than $4,000, nearly half of which went to new hardwood floors, she achieved a gorgeous new look that they can both be proud of!
See the whole budget breakdown on her blog Red House Renovations.

December 11, 2014 at 2:43 PMThe backsplash is lovely! And those floors! Oh, to die for! One of the requirements for our own home (when we get one) is wood floors. Even fake, even pretend, but wood-looking. So gorgeous. And this dark color one here, ugh, delicious. xD

December 11, 2014 at 3:25 PMWell her son has obviously not seen a lot of ugly kitchens because that one wasn’t even in the running for ugliest. A little outdated, yes. Ugliest? Nah, nowhere near. The after is gorgeous though!
