DIY doesn't have to look "DIY"

Updating?our 14-year old kitchen to a?more refined style aligned with our current tastes with a modest budget and flexible timeline we decided to DIY the project.

That was six months ago.

I'm fortunate to have such a patient spouse (+ family)!

Although DIY has its drawbacks, choosing to experiment in your own home is a low-stakes, high-reward opportunity and this project didn't disappoint. Follow along in the video as we implement our design ideas, work through?setbacks and,?(finally) complete the transformation.

I hope it?inspires you to experiment +?go make things...!?

For all the before and after photos, resources, links and details:
