Home trends change, and over time new upgrades are needed to make a home feel new again. See how Corey Decker of Sawdust 2 Stitches<\/a> was able to take advantage of a few Home Depot products and upgrade her \u201890s style kitchen.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Our Kitchen Before<\/h3>\n

When we first moved into our current home it needed some serious lovin\u2019.\u00a0 The kitchen had some oddly placed walls, early 90’s golden oak cabinetry, band-aid colored walls, and a lackluster tile that pulled all the\u2026interesting\u2026color choices together.\u00a0 I am not saying it was a horrible kitchen. I am just saying I personally was going to develop an eye twitch if left unaltered. In order to spare my eye spasms, and ultimately save my sanity, the kitchen makeover commenced immediately.<\/p>\n

If you have followed along on my site, you have seen the initial process. The walls have since been taken down, the band-aid color abolished and the 90\u2019s oak painted. As a DIY\u2019er I pride myself on doing as much work as I possibly can for as cheap as I can possibly do it.\u00a0 I was able to get a really good handle on the kitchen using a minimal budget and a lot of elbow grease.<\/p>\n

However, there was still tweaking to be done. Ultimately, the pricier purchases (i.e.: appliances) would have to wait. I was at a beautiful holding point.<\/p>\n

So what if all my appliances were mismatched and had been swapped out with Craigslist replacements?\u00a0 I did not want to rush a decision or go and buy whatever happened to be on sale. I wanted to do my homework and have some time to ruminate on all the options.<\/p>\n

Well, I have been ruminating for over two years now, and I am happy to announce that after 2.5 years, countless hours of online research and plenty of in-store, hands-on inspections, my kitchen is complete!\u00a0 I have found the appliances that this kitchen was missing, and I even dialed in the design style I was trying to find with these LG appliances. I knew that I wanted to add some strategic pops of black and add a few select pieces of natural wood tones to warm up the space.<\/p>\n

So here was my thought process to executing those ideas.<\/p>\n

Fridge:\u00a0 LG Electronics, 23 cu. ft. 4-Door French Door Smart Refrigerator with InstaView Door-in-Door in Stainless Steel, Counter Depth<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I think we can all agree that a fridge<\/a> has the potential to make or break a space.\u00a0\u00a0 They are physically LARGE and whether we like it or not, they do play into the design aspect of a kitchen.\u00a0 When I was shopping for a fridge, aesthetics was definitely a part of the search criteria. I have been loving the look of the new dark appliances, but I am planning on being in this home for a very long time and wanted to make a logical, safe decision when it came to expensive purchases.\u00a0 When I add trendy or bold pieces I always opt for inexpensive, easily changeable pieces.\u00a0 It is a lot easier to switch out hand towels than it is to repaint kitchen walls, get what I am saying?<\/p>\n
