Recession Kitchen Redo PDF Print E-mail

The Holidays have come and gone.  So has your hard earned cash.  How on Earth will you be able to afford to remodel your kitchen?
Here are a few tips that may help:

  • Start Here: How to design a kitchen or a small kitchen makeover.
  •  A new kitchen is one of the most rewarding gifts you can give yourself and your family. The heart of your home, your kitchen is where late-night talks, homework sessions, and casual celebrations (the best kind!) happen naturally. It's where memories are made.
  • Out with the old--De-cluttering your kitchen will make appear larger and may free up some well needed counter space.
  • In with the new--spice up your cabinets with new hardware, paint over existing cabinet doors or replace the cabinets with reclaimed cabinets. The ReStore often has high-end cabinetry at a fraction of the cost of purchasing new.
  • Let you light shine-- Create a new lighting scheme for your kitchen.  Brightening up the space will add depth to your new kitchen. Recessed lighting and halogen lights are good choices and not beyond the skills of a do-it-yourselfer to install.
  • Shop for a good cause--The ReStore has a wide selection of materials that will help make your kitchen remodel easy and affordable - from kitchen cabinets to lighting fixtures - the ReStore has it all!  Plus all of the proceeds go to Habitat for Humanity’s mission of creating and preserving affordable home ownership solutions.
Remember, when you think DIY, think ReStore!
