Before
“We recently completed a kitchen renovation, taking our dark, greenish kitchen to a bright, vintage farmhouse style kitchen and I’m so happy with the transformation!” said Bev McCullough of Flamingo Toes design blog. “The kitchen felt small and gloomy with the dark flooring and the monotone color of the cabinets and counters. A complete kitchen renovation wasn’t in our budget, but a few changes made a world of difference!”

After
Bev shares five key changes with consumers to make a kitchen feel larger on a budget. She suggests: installing light-colored flooring, adding light-colored paint, adding contrast, minimizing furniture, and leaving windows uncovered. Installing light-colored flooring was her number one suggestion and she selected Quick-Step’s Gable Oak from the Envique laminate collection as the stylish yet durable flooring for her kitchen transformation.
