You'd be surprised!

So I thought I would high light how much you can change the look of your house with a SMALL budget.

I will first start by saying we would never done anything we did in the house without pintrest giving us a lot of inspiration and confidence.

So we started with painting the living room, kitchen, and hall way. This took one and a half gallons, each gallon cost 37$.

Then we sanded down the cupboards and painted them, we just bought a gallon of white paint, 37$ (Benjamin Moore was on a great sale). We used the same hinges and spray painted them to look new, the spray paint was $5.

We bought new hard wear for the cupboards, the handles. For 28 we paid $48.

We then bought a small can of yellow for the closet door, which was $15- I have a lot left, might do our front door as well.

We then painted our bathroom I got a small can for $19- and I did three coats with that! Finished the whole bathroom. I painted the tiles with left over white which was free.

This last week we have tackled our counter top and back splash, both with tools and adhesives costs just over $200!

The next project is staining the cabinet in the bathroom :) which should not be more than $50.

Refurbishing is WAY less than new!

Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found
a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell to her ear and screamed.
There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but
I had to tell someone!
