This 70-Square-Foot Kitchen Feels So Much Bigger After a $4,185 Makeover
Briefly

Anwesha managed a transformative DIY renovation of her beige kitchen after receiving expert advice. Originally unimpressed with her apartment's bland aesthetic, she painted cabinets as a temporary fix. Inspired by her consultant Andrea, Anwesha implemented beadboard for the backsplash and fluted design elements, ultimately enhancing both aesthetics and functionality with 738 feet of half-round molding. She also efficiently used community tools, overcoming challenges such as uneven surfaces in her century-old building. The project also required time management, as she had a deadline to meet after returning home, motivating her to innovate.
Anwesha turned her beige apartment into a stylish space by using beadboard for the backsplash and adding a textured, fluted design with half-round molding.
Anwesha found the process of working with the miter saw easy after renting it from a local tool library, allowing her to tackle her DIY kitchen project effectively.
The most challenging aspect was working in her 100-year-old building where nothing was square, making precise cuts difficult and time-sensitive.
With Andrea's guidance, Anwesha transformed her kitchen using budget-friendly options while adding substantial character and texture to the old beige space.
