I have been envisioning my dream kitchen for years, 8 years to be exact. Those dreams have included granite counter tops, viking ranges, stainless everything and then some.
Now my home is a simple one story in a great little neighborhood nothing pretentious or over the top. As the years have strolled by and my ever growing kitchen magazine collection has grown nothing happened. Well not nothing, new appliances and new flooring were added over time and for Christmas gifts. But the function and creative kitchen that I yearned for never came forth. Which I must say is a good thing because the kitchen I was dreaming of was not one that was a reality or really me.
What I have discovered is that a kitchen not need to be expensive to be wonderful and functional. That you do not need to have granite counter tops to whip up a masterpiece meal, but you do need function and happiness in your space. And of course lots of love too!
So I have dedicated this blog to show you my progress in creating the space of my dreams and to do it as cheap as possible! And I mean as free as it gets!!! This will not be a renovations under 10,000 but more like a goal of under 1,000. Yes that's right and that's my top number if I can.....
So how am I going to achieve this you ask? well lots of manual labor (I love to get dirty), bartering, and a green attitude of nothing goes to waste. I will try and reuse whatever I can and make simple adjustments. I am inviting you to come along on this journey and hopefully gain inspiration that you don't have to spend alot to make things happen that you love!
