Planning a Kitchen Renovation?

Planning a kitchen renovation? Here are a ton of DIY project tutorials to help you to plan and execute a DIY kitchen makeover project!

Renovating your kitchen is one of the biggest projects that a homeowner can take on.

A kitchen project is more overwhelming than other room makeovers because of the variety of elements in the space - cabinets, counters, plumbing, electricity, flooring and appliances can be trickier to work with than just simple furniture.

But, that doesn't mean that it's not a doable DIY.

We have renovated the kitchens in each of our homes. We have done a full gut makeover, a lighter makeover, and a few refreshes to hold over kitchens until it was big makeover time.

Let's take a look at all of our kitchen renovation project tutorials that you might use to renovate your space!
