About six months ago I realized that we needed to do something to renovate our kitchen. It was old, outdated, and a little non-functional. I didn't know what to do to improve things, but a friend of mine mentioned that it might be smart to go through and replace the appliances. We started going shopping, and I realized that we needed to figure out where to get a great deal. We started combing through sales, and I actually got pretty good at snagging bargains. This blog is all about learning more about the latest appliance so that you can renovate on a dime.
Are you moving into a home that needs some major face-lifting in the kitchen? Perhaps you are redecorating the kitchen in your present home? Either way, if you are doing the decorating of your kitchen on a tight budget, you can get a lot for your money if you plan carefully. From shopping creatively to arranging for refrigerator repair, here are some ideas that might help you to decorate your kitchen while you are on a tight budget.
Shop Creatively - Before you even hit the stores, do a bit of research. Think about looking at home decorating magazines to get ideas that will make your kitchen unique. For example, you might see a magazine picture of a shabby chic kitchen table and mismatched chairs and realize that you can duplicate that look yourself by purchasing used wooden furniture. You might fall in love with a country kitchen look that you find in one of your magazines and be able to copy the look by shopping in places like antique stores and thrift shops. And, don't forget to look at garage sales or yard sales where you might find one-of-a-kind decorative pieces that will fit your kitchen decor nicely.
Appliance Repair - Since you are decorating on a tight budget, you might be wanting to buy things like a used refrigerator. Perhaps you are buying a refrigerator or another appliance from somebody that simply wants a newer model. If that's the case, the appliance might be in great working order already. However, if the used appliance is being sold because it doesn't work correctly, don't despair. Consider the fact that there are repair men and women who are trained to correct many, if not most, problems that the appliance has. It may be that all the appliance needs is a new part. If so, the appliance repair service will more than likely be able to order that part and have your refrigerator or other appliance running well. It might be that something like a refrigerator works great, but doesn't look great. In that case, a repair service can do a repainting job that will make it look brand new.
Think of taking before-and-after pictures of your kitchen. Also, it might be fun for you to take pictures as you're going through the entire decorating process so that you can look at them later to see the different stages of your decorating job.
