Update Your Kitchen Without Spending a Fortune

Bored with your basic kitchen? These inexpensive updates will liven things up in no time!

Add style to standard wood cabinets with a quick coat of paint. Try painting the lower cabinets a dark color, like gray or navy, and the upper cabinets white.

Open up a closed space by converting a cabinet to open shelving. Just remove the door and leave the shelving and back of the cabinet in place.

Update older appliances with appliance-approved paint or magnetic stainless panels.

Create an airy feeling by taking down a pantry or closet door. Install some shelving and stock it with attractive baskets, jars and other containers.
