Thanks! When we were working on the floors the Dairy Queen that’s a block away opened for the summer. We DEFINITELY got our share of ice cream before we realized it’s not ok to go to Dairy Queen every day!

Wow! This is just gorgeous. Everything. It doesn’t even look like the same room. And the budget is miraculous, in my opinion. And you glossed over it, but refinishing hardwood floors to look that great is HARD WORK> You deserve a cookie (or ice cream bar) for that work. Probably more, but it’s all I can afford.

Ooooh, never mind. It's Creamy White by Behr.

Kelly, thanks!! There are a ton of whites out there. We actually started with what we thought was a slightly yellow white but it was so bright! We had to tone it down a little. I'm almost positive the color is Behr Eggshell Cream but I'll double check that this weekend. Good luck!

I really like what you guys have done, beautiful work! I'm wanting to paint my kitchen cabinets and am overwhelmed with the millions of different "white, off-white, creamy-white" paint chips. I really like your choice and would love to know the name of the paint you used. Thank you!

This is fantastic — talk about bang for your buck! We are working to do something similar in our outdated kitchen, but we'll be lucky to stay under $2000 (though that will include wood countertops and a new floor). Great work!

Hi

Found your site thru Better After. This is the best DIY Kitchen transformation I have seen. I love what you did. The floor- beautiful. The white paint fresh and modern. Looks fabulous.
My best- Diane

This is the coolest kitchen overhual I've seen in a looooong time (and I spend a LOT of time on home improvement blogs). I am really, super duper impressed. Although I hate handwashing dishes, I have to agree that nixing the dishwasher was the smartest move. I absolutely love everything you guys did, and especially for that price! Really, I keep looking at the photos again and again. Fantastic job!

Jessica, that's awesome that you're making your house yours! I don't know of a cheap fix for counters (one of the few things paint won't fix). As far as I know, replacing them is the way to go. Good luck!

I love your blog!! Your redo for the cabinets are perfect. Our kitchen cabinets are currently a little pink color and we are looking for a quick fix. I think painting them white would be fabulous and cheap.

Do you have any recommendations for a quick fix for counter tops?? They are YELLOW!! Ahh!

We have a home build in the 60's and has very similar characteristics as your home. We actually have the exactly same tacky green carpet color you 'did' and we are currently in the process of removing it. It is the best feeling ever. Thanks for the inspirations!
