I have been focusing heavily lately on making the best of what I have and creating the life I that want with what I currently have instead of constantly thinking about the things that I don’t have. Don’t get me wrong, I still aspire to have the things I’ve always dreamt of having but I’m also being more intentional about appreciating the now.
My dream home is a Farm House style home. I just love the décor, the layout and the entire feel of these style homes. Unfortunately, right now my husband are not looking to buy a new home until we figure out what we are going to do with the house that we currently own. We have been going back and forth about whether we will continue to rent it out our ultimately sell it so until we figure our next steps we will stay in the 4 bedroom house we’re renting. Now its no mystery that this home is NOT my dream house but I recently decided that that doesn’t mean we can’t make it into a space we love in the meantime.
I’m determined to go room by room and redecorate this space into something that truly feels like us. I’m starting to spend more and more time in the kitchen so the first room to get the Young LifestyEL revamp was…you guessed it… our kitchen!
I wanted to give the kitchen a little “facelift” but since we are renting I couldn’t make any permanent or major changes. I also wanted to give it Farm House feel without breaking the bank.
Take a look and see what the hubby and I were able to do without spending a ton of money.
Our backsplash is completely removable as well as the peel and stick counter covering that we used. We wanted to make sure that any changes that we did make could easily be removed when we leave so that the kitchen can return to its original look. We purchased the removable backsplash from Amazon (Tic Tac Tiles), the Peel and Stick counter covering from Target (Con-Tact Creative Covering). I also purchased the glass jars I used for our pasta, coffee, flour and sugar from Amazon (Glass Jars). Click on any of the hyperlinks of these products to check them out.
This little kitchen revamp cost us less that $100.
I still want to get a few things to organized our little pantry area and will share once that part of the kitchen has been finished.
But I’ll be honest I’m a little obsessed with how the kitchen looks and feels now. How do you think we did?
