In this episode of Rental Redesign, I'm tackling my apartment kitchen. I have a small galley style kitchen with black counters and outdated cabinets. I'll show you a few easy renter-friendly tips, hacks and DIYs by changing out hardware, putting up removable subway tile wallpaper, and adding beautiful (and functional) decor pieces.
This kitchen makeover brings in rich, warm colors and a boho/eclectic aesthetic. The total cost came in right around $150. ✨ #kitchenmakeover
