Kitchen upgrades can be expensive, but with a little gumption and a good idea, you can make some simple and inexpensive DIY upgrades in your kitchen. Use some copper piping and everyday plumbing parts to create a pot rack fit for a Victorian kitchen.
A custom backsplash may not be in your budget, but there are plenty of inexpensive materials that you can use to create the custom look without the custom budget- think about adhesive metal tiles or a solid surface backsplash made with bead board. Painting the cabinets, upgrading hardware, or even upgrading the kitchen faucet can be a quick and easy update. Add crown molding to the cabinets for a luxury look or install under cabinet lighting to warm the space. Or build your own kitchen island or butcher block rolling cart.
