A $500 Makeover Turns This "Stark White" SF Kitchen into a Colorful Victorian Stunner
Briefly

Juliana undertook a kitchen revamp in a 1925 apartment, where the original kitchen remained in good condition with unpainted cabinets. Inspired by rich burgundy tones, she aimed to modernize the classic Victorian style. The project cost about $500 and was done entirely by herself. Through this endeavor, she discovered previously unrecognized aspects of her decor taste, indicating personal growth alongside the aesthetic transformation of her living space.
The apartment building was constructed in 1925, but Juliana isn't sure when the kitchen was last renovated. She found a newspaper from the '80s while revamping the room.
I wanted to give my own modern spin on a classic Victorian San Francisco style. I had been getting really inspired by rich burgundy tones in homes, and I knew I needed to add some drama to that pretty stark white kitchen.
The project cost around $500, and she was surprised to learn a lot about herself along the way. It revealed a side of my decor taste I previously didn't think would match my personality.
The original kitchen was in great condition when Juliana moved in, including original cabinets that had never been painted and held up well throughout the years. However, the room was extremely white.
