When Mariam inherited her grandmother’s old apartment, she decided the first thing to refresh was the kitchen. It held decades of history: dark colors, worn-out cabinets, chipped tiles. But she didn’t have the budget for a full renovation. That’s when the idea struck her — what if she didn’t change everything, but just its look and atmosphere?
She started with small steps. First, she bought some light, bright-colored paint for the kitchen cabinets. From grey, they became a soft green — fresh, calm, and warm. The old handles were replaced with new copper-toned ones, which were both practical and stylish.
She covered the countertop with a warm-toned wooden adhesive layer. The walls were painted white, and she added a small open shelf to display her favorite ceramic mugs. The most beautiful change was replacing the old lamp with a modern, yet elegant light fixture.
Unlike designer-made projects, Mariam’s kitchen had a soul. Every corner reflected the warmth of her own hands. The total cost didn’t exceed $1800, but the result was a clean, fresh, and inspiring space, where she now loves to cook, host guests, and remember her grandmother’s delicious recipes.
