I love decorating shows that are realistic, such as people trying to makeover their kitchen in a weekend without a lot of money. To me, that is how real DIY is, not a lot of time, not a lot of money. However, there are usually lots of people that work behind the scenes on these shows. They have a team of people that know carpentry & sewing in order to make everything happen.
Well, what’s an average girl to do then? We deserve to have beautiful homes too! Take what you can do & can afford from the TV shows, & make it work for you. For instance, almost every decorating show suggests getting new handles to revamp kitchen cabinets. If you really want a classy, updated look try wood crown moulding on the top of your cabinets, or even around your room.
All Cabinet Parts is the place to go to, they have the coolest cabinet hardware, & even antique looking handles. They even have awesome looking wood corbels, that you could put under the counter. This has become very popular in order to make a kitchen island look like a piece of furniture. It’s an easy & inexpensive update that even I hadn’t thought of. There are lots of great ideas, & inspiration at this site. They really do have everything you would need for kitchen cabinets, even hinges which are often overlooked. Also, they have great prices & a fantastic selection.
We don’t all have the teams, money, & time that goes into your average decorating shows. However, there are still some ideas that you can use.
