For those among us fortunate enough to be able to rent an apartment with a kitchen; here are some cool ideas to have your kitchen looking "fresh and so clean, clean" for Spring! (sorry, I couldn't resist).
*Declutter
Clean out drawers and cabinets, get rid of mismatch glasses, fast
food plastic cups :), dishes, cooking and eating utensils
*Paint
Refresh you kitchen with a fresh coat of paint. Hey...! What about
painting the inside of your kitchen drawers and cabinets a different
color? Humm?
*Replace Cabinet Pulls and Knobs
Simple and easy way to update kitchen cabinets. Also, replace outdated, damaged or missing outlet and switch-plate covers.
*Replace Kitchen Lighting
Most apartment kitchens have only one overhead fixture that usually doesn't provide enough light. Consider brighting your kitchen work space by placing touch lights under the cabinets.
*Buy New Appliances
- Blender - Toaster - Electric Can Opener - Microwave - Coffee Maker -
Updating appliances is a quick and easy way to make an impact in your kitchen.
*New Rug and Window Treatments
Works every time!
*New Artwork and Accessories
Affordable decorative pieces can be found at outlets, discount stores and thrift stores. Hanging a mirror is a decorative way to bring more light into your kitchen. Replace towel racks to match your knobs & pulls. Spray paint frames to match your decor and place pictures of family and friends doing kitchen activities in them for your walls. Baskets, trays & bowls, oh my!
"A few photos" to inspire.
Make a list of the changes and updates you're going to make. A list of the materials and accessories you need to purchase. Give yourself plenty of time. HAVE FUN!
