Winter blues got you down? Well, I have 5 easy kitchen update ideas. I know it’s not a free trip to St. Barths, but it’s something. We may not all cook, but we all use our kitchens in some form or another, unless of course you have staff and in that case you are probably reading this on your G-5.
Regardless of budget, I think mid winter is a great time to freshen up and brighten your kitchen. Frankly you are probably sick of looking at it after the busy holiday season, and have been cursing all the things you hate about it since the onset of Thanksgiving.
I’m not here to help you fix the broken dishwasher door that constantly bangs to the floor, or the wonky ice maker that leaked and created one, Titanic sized iceberg just as you were filling the water glasses. Rather, here are some of my inexpensive picks to help you fall in love with your kitchen again.
I have chosen three types of lighting, including the critical under cabinet lighting which is essential for kitchens, new seating as contemporary bar stools, and new dishes that will make the smaller portions, thanks to your New Year’s resolution, look appetizing.
1. The Congress ceiling light in an oil rubbed bronze finish with an Edison style bulb adds a cool loft feel to both modern and traditional kitchens.
2. These Fulcrum stick-on cordless lights are a quick and cheap fix for spots that need a little more illumination, especially under cabinets.
3. I love these urban industrial style bronze pendant lights for over a kitchen island.
4. Every counter and island deserves a chic bar stool like the Daqo.
5. These white ceramic plates are shaped like a Mum. Mum’s the word on where you got your exquisite taste.
