Home improvement doesn’t have to be a daunting and expensive endeavor.  Ingenuity and the internet will take you a long way!

Here’s an example of how to turn a drab-looking 1970s townhouse into a chic, modern home without spending millions!

    Nice! What is the original floor, Wood, engineered wood or laminate?

    Hi there! Actually, surprise!! They were engineered wood floors. They were sooo deceiving… Until I lifted up a piece. I was hoping for real wood of course!! So, I had to rent a rotary floor sander instead
    of a more aggressive belt sander. Took longer and I couldn’t stand straight for 3 days 😉 …. but the end result was worth it!

    Wow! That looks great especially the floors. I also like the two tone painting of the cabinets and the paint you put above on the wall above the backsplash. The other accessories like switchplates, artwork, lighting were well chosen. Great job on a budget!
