10 Cheap and Chic Ideas for the Kitchen

August 12, 2009 REAL ESTATE No Comments

1. Treat yourself to a fresh set of dishtowels. Reuse the old ones as rags to polish silver, shine shoes or wipe up paint spills.

2. Banish old knobs in favour of sexy new ones.

3. Make a pretty message board by placing fabric or decorative paper behind the glass of a large frame. Then use a dry erase marker to write on the front.

4. Leave only your chicest small appliances on the counter.

5. Keep utensils contained and at the ready in a plain white pitcher – it goes with any kitchen.

6. Conceal scratches or dents on an old fridge with decorative wall decals.

7. Display a vintage dishware collection on open shelves.

8. Conceal an ugly backsplash behind peel-and-stick Smart Tiles.

9. Buy a new set of canisters.

10. The next time you buy groceries, bring home a bunch of daisies for the kitchen table.

Bonus Tip: Use crystal flutes for your orange juice tomorrow morning – it will taste much better!
