The $290 Kitchen Makeover

This past weekend, I had new tenants moving into my basement apartment.

I took the chance to paint, clean and add update some things throughout the space.  It took 3 solid days to whip the place into shape, but it was worth it!!
 

 
Here is the shopping list for a ‘minimalist’ basement kitchen reno:

Stove (kijiji) - $100
Rangehood (Home Depot) - $80 plus $30 installation parts
Handles (Canadian Tire….on sale) - $40
Light fixture (Wal-mart) - $20

Backsplash wallpaper tile (Sears) - $20

Total of $290!  I think the best effect came from the light fixture, backsplash and handles which was only $60!
At the same time, I managed to get some great “staged” pics of the space for my internet postings in the future.  You never know when you are going to have vacancy!!

All the items below were free or “borrowed” for the “staged” pic.
