Recently put the finishing touches on our little kitchen. It was a slow process but we waited to pull the trigger until sales came up. Ended up costing about $5000 for everything. Most expensive things being new appliances (GE) for $1900, thanks to Home Depots Black Friday sale. Then the quartz countertops were $1850.

Spraying the cabinets was by far the most time consuming but I like how even the finish is and I can still see a hint of texture from the wood grain in the right lighting. Obviously, new cabinets would have been great but the diy route only cost me about $250.

My wife picked all the design options and I just did my best to make it look like I knew what I was doing. It was the first time I’ve done many of these upgrades but I’m pretty happy how it turned out for the budget.
