I know from my line of work budgets for a kitchen renovation can start around $30k. My goal is to use my industry knowledge, and maybe a few discounts to pull off a renovation for $15,000. Read to find out all my plans to save and where I will spend.

Although I have a lot more to go, I’ve made a lot of progress. I installed drywall and shelving in the closet, I’ve painted and primed the storage shelves and I also added all the trim to the walls and painted. Come check out my progress!

This year we are planning to give our upstairs kid’s bath a budget, DIY gut reno. I’ve been shopping and costing it all out to figure out when will be the best time financially to tackle this room, which prompted me to round up the most stylish vanities out there under $1000.
