10 ways to update kitchen, bath for less
31.12.69
Here are 10 ways to save money when you update your kitchen and bathroom and still get a look you love.
1. Refresh, don't remove.
Consider refacing and refinishing rather than tearing everything out and starting from scratch.
There's no need to tear out your dingy, old bathtub to make room for a new one. Leave your tub where it is and cover it with a molded-acrylic tub liner. It will take about a day and doesn't usually require you to buy new faucets. Acrylic wall surrounds cover chipping tile and dirty grout without the work of retiling.
Likewise, you can spruce up old cabinets by replacing just the doors. Even easier: Refinish or paint them. Dark, chocolate browns are the "new neutral" and easily cover marks and dents. If you like brighter colors, make the cabinets the room's focal point by painting them dark red or green. If you want something splashier, consider a faux finish that looks like marble or Venetian plaster.
You can also reface your countertops by fitting an engineered granite slab right on top of your existing laminate or tile surface -- so you save the trouble and expense of having your old counters ripped out.
