According to Apartment Therapy's trend-predicting Designer Survey, chocolate brown is in, as are dark wood tones, meaning this kitchen redo from Tiffany Brown-Barino (@myeclecticnest) is perfectly on-trend despite keeping its '90s-style cabinets. "The cabinet color is almost always someone's BEFORE picture," Tiffany writes on Instagram. But she shows how to make the oak brown look chic with a few other DIYs. "Our kitchen countertops were in great condition, but I definitely didn't like how dark they were and how dark they made the kitchen feel," Tiffany says of the kitchen before. The counters and the dark tile backsplash changed in a budget-friendly redo - the former for only $95.
