AND GARDENS
Halfway there
This kitchen was filled
with basics—white
cabinetry, beautiful
countertops, the right
appliances, and new
windows. But, with the
dreary wall color and a
mishmash of accessories,
the overall look was dark
and dated.

Stephen’s goals: Lighten
the kitchen and make it
work harder for a busy
family. Simple cosmetic
changes, such as a new
wall color and cabinet
hardware, delivered.
“Take stock of what’s good
in a room and then start
dealing with the not-so-
good,” says Stephen. “A
list of what to change will
help you stay focused.”

With a handful of easy changes (low-cost, too),
you can give your kitchen a major facelift.
Bonus: No heavy-duty power tools required.
