Fun Kitchen Projects

Making your kitchen your own can seem a little daunting since most homes come with the basic builder kitchen materials. Here are a few ideas to bring a little of your personality into your kitchen!

Picking unique door knobs and pulls is a great way to add a touch of you into your kitchen. I'm loving the sink faucet that goes with the rest of the pulls!

Changing out your back splash is a great way to add some character to your kitchen. There are so many different options these days that it's easier to have that unique look in your home and depending on the size of your kitchen, this could be an easy weekend project!

Go bold with color cabinets that contrast so great with the rest of the light tones in this home! Find a color you love since this is a much more time consuming project! A good test run would to be to paint one drawer or cabinet door to get a feel if you like it or not.

Not interested in painting every cabinet in your kitchen? try just the island! I love the color of this one! I also like how they used the pop of grey on the hood range.

Another idea would to be paint the insides of the cabinet and add some glass doors. This is a great way to show off your best dishware and add another dimension to your kitchen!

Have fun bringing in a little more you into your home decor!

A Welcoming Front Door

Adding an extra touch to your front door can set the tone for the rest of your home. It can also make a guest feel at home the minute they pull up! Here are some tips to help you bring your front door to life:

choose a bright color like yellow + large house numbers to make your front door stand out

Make sure your house number is legible. There's nothing worse than having that uncertain feeling on whether you are walking up to the right house or not! Also be sure that it's visible throughout the entire day and going into the night. Outdoor lighting can be a great problem solver in this case.

Keep it simple! Leave enough room for your guests to be at the front door and not feel overwhelmed or cramped while they are waiting for you to answer. The extra breathing space is comforting and relaxing.

Add a friendly sign. Nothing says you're welcome more than a welcome sign! Adding a little touch to remind them you are happy they are coming puts a smile on everyone's face.

Get creative! Adding an extra touch like window decor is stunning. It gives everyone a little eye candy which is great for small doorways where you might not have enough room for planters or decorations.
