| Summary |
Kitchen remodeling projects can be expensive, but there are alternatives to a full-scale renovation. Affordable Kitchen Upgrades provides these alternatives by supplying inexpensive design ideas and easy how-to projects that make a large impact on the look and functionality of a kitchen. Covering a variety of projects from replacing the pulls and hinges on cabinetry to installing new countertops, Affordable Kitchen Upgrades shows homeowners how incremental changes can vastly improve kitchens. Homeowners can make a number of improvements all at once or space them out to accommodate their time and budget.
