Amaia Arana's kitchen transformation reflects a long-term, budget-friendly DIY effort over seven years in her NYC apartment. Initially characterized by drab colors, the kitchen was revitalized with strategic additions like a converted dresser and a bar. These elements not only enhanced aesthetics but also improved functionality, providing additional storage and counter space. The couple, both artists with budget constraints, emphasize patience and resourcefulness, often using Facebook Marketplace to find affordable home decor items. Their approach embodies sustainable living and creativity in home improvement.
"We are gigging artists who don't have an endless bank account to spend on changing up our apartment whenever we want... it felt like wasted space until we added a dresser and a bar."
"After months of looking on Facebook Marketplace, nothing was clicking ... we mounted the TV and took the dresser into the kitchen, and it completely transformed the space."
