7. Update Backsplash

Backsplashes can suffer lots of wear and tear and can date a kitchen very quickly. They are actually very easy to install, and many come in mosaic patterns that are already assembled in sheets. You just need to slap them up! You can change the look of your kitchen in a flash and all for a cheap price tag.

9. Paint or Reglaze Kitchen Sink

If you can’t afford to redo your kitchen countertops, chances are you are stuck with your kitchen sink. Removing a sink requires some countertop demo, unless you have a top mounted sink, and is, you guessed it, expensive! Although a time intensive and detailed task, reglazing your sink may be a good option if you have a worn or chipped one. Make sure you have the time and dedication for this task, as it requires several days of not using your sink! Maybe a test for someone to complete on your behalf while you take that vacation? You can purchase your own kit online or in any home improvement store.

ItAllStartedWithPaint.com has an awesome, step by step tutorial if you feel like taking on this home improvement project!
