Megan's kitchen transformation was inspired by a wine bottle, helping her overcome initial design block. After relocating from NYC to Chicago, she found her new apartment's kitchen lacking in quality. The previous DIY efforts showed poor execution, prompting her to approach her home renovations more intentionally. By selecting proper materials and investing time into research, Megan sought to 'do it right' rather than simply 'get it done.' The addition of green paint on walls and cabinetry transformation resulted in significant aesthetic improvements without major disruptions, showcasing effective small-scale renovations.
"I've done my fair share of DIY projects in rentals throughout the years, [but] this is the first home that I've owned, and that means 'doing it right' as opposed to simply 'getting it done.'"
"It really wasn't any harder, just a bit longer!"
"Having gone through that, we wanted to keep things small-scale in terms of life disruption while still getting a big impact."
"The kitchen, not so much; it was all very DIY and not in a good way."
