Gotta have these...5 tips for a kitchen facelift!

Time to give your kitchen a face lift instead of an all out reno? Well, you can do a few things to make it look pretty again. Here, I will share 5 great tips to give that kitchen a face lift as well as popular products that we are selling over and over again in the showroom. Not only are they functional and pretty, they will give you the look you want in your space.

Kohler has a great faucet in Vibrant Stainless that has a pause button and two different sprays. The single hole on your counter will give you more room, a less cluttered appearance and its easy to keep clean.  This is a great choice if your appliances are all stainless.


I know I have featured the Bellera before, but what a great faucet and 
its under $300!


For the sink: this is a really beautiful and functional undermount sink that is a standard 33x22 size for your cooking and cleaning needs - it has a pretty 'v' detail on the bottom and looks like a commercial sink without the price tag:


For about $600 this can be yours - it is available smaller and
as a drop-in -


For a great looking counter that you don't need to do anything with, such as treat it with sealant, look no further than Ceasarstone Quartz - I chose a pretty neutral that is also recycled material to help keep your living environment clean and toxic-free:


Oyster 9601 - a gorgeous neutral to go with light or dark cabinets -

Need an island but don't have the space or money for a large size? Check out Ikea's Bekvam mobile cart - I had this and it was really useful. You can stain or paint it any color to match your decor and at less than $60.00 its a steal!


Great for storage, moving around and extra space for cutting or cleaning veggies -


Last but not least, the paint color to give the kitchen some added 'oomph' right? I like Benjamin Moore's VOC-free Aura collection. Tons of colors to choose from so you can go light or dark. I chose a pastel green and to keep the environment clean, this paint is non-toxic so its safe and won't harm you or your kids:


Benjamin Moore Parkside Dunes 568


I hope this gives you some inspiration for the kitchen project you've been thinking about doing but didn't want to spend a fortune. You can do one of the tips, two or all five!! You don't have to do all of them. 

Have a great Sunday! What is your favorite go-to tip for fixing the kitchen? Paint? new faucet? sink?

  1. I wish we had installed a single sink - ours is under-mounted in a granite counter - pretty permanent until the next big remodel! Oh well I can always dream!
