10 Minute Makeover: The Kitchen

Today we’re tackling a kitchen makeover in 10 minutes… Yes, believe it or not, we’ll be able to freshen up this space with just a few minute’s time! These quick solutions to creating a new feel for your kitchen won’t break the bank or necessitate a timeline either. There won’t be any painting of cabinetry, re-tiling of a back splash, or new solid-surface counter top options to explore, no sir! We simply employ a bit of creativity and out-of-the-box thinking to bring you your new(ish) kitchen:

Framed art as a baclsplash

The Art of the Back Splash – Gather favorite family photos and/or small, framed works of art to lean against your current back splash, creating a new look for this part of your kitchen. You just want to make sure your art and photos are covered with glass, so any mess will be easily wiped clean.

These prints from Thimblepress would add a perfect pop of color and a bit of a custom feel (pick any state you love!) to your re-freshened kitchen! Available at steve mckenzie’s.

Repurpose a Pitcher – Pitchers can be used for so much more than serving a nice drink! Select your most-loved kitchen tools and bring them within easy reach by displaying them in a beautiful pitcher on your counter top.

Raise the Comfort Level – Add a throw pillow to the seating option in your kitchen, not only will it add color and texture, it’ll provide lumbar support so your family and friends may never want to leave your ever-so-comfortable, newly freshened kitchen space!

The color options available in these pinstriped pillows ensure a look to compliment your space! — The color options available in these steve mckenzie’s pinstriped pillows ensure a look to compliment your space!

New Scents Make Sense – If you’re always cooking up unique eats, chances are your kitchen is retaining some of those smells from last night’s fish dinner. A nice candle may be just the ticket to eliminate those odors and provide an especially welcoming environment each time they enter your kitchen space.

A simple candle in a smart scent, such as this "Twisted Sage" version from steve mckenzie's will allow guests to enjoy the new feel of your space using their sense of smell. — A simple candle in a smart scent, such as this “Twisted Sage” version from steve mckenzie’s, will allow guests to you to enjoy the new feel of your space using your sense of smell.
