Meet Laura. She has lived in her 1966 New England colonial EXACTLY 10 years and 2 days. She wanted to celebrate with a new kitchen in time for the holidays. But…she didn’t want to spend over $500 to do it.

So she turned the creative readers of YHOB to get some ideas on how to proceed. And quite frankly, you blew her away! Click here to see her before pics and your amazing ideas!

She was so energized by your innovative suggestions that she jumped right in! Plus, it helped that she felt accountable to all you for your thoughtful ideas! She just HAD to come through! ;)

A good friend of mine has HAD IT with her kitchen.

While she dreams of a major renovation (don’t we all) she is motivated to (with a limited budget) do something about it NOW. She entertains family at the holidays, and would love to make some quick and smart updates to her kitchen before then.

I think we can all relate to that!

So, let’s get started! I’m going to post some “before” pictures here, and look forward to hearing your suggestions.

First, a couple panoramic views:
