12 DIY CHEAP AND EASY KITCHEN UPDATES THAT ARE BETTER THAN PAINTING YOUR CABINETS!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Hello, friends! Many viewers have asked why I didn’t show Amiah’s reaction to the kitchen makeover. She was home from her trip, so she saw the progress. I didn’t want to ban her from going into her own kitchen. (She is quite thin and doesn’t need to miss any meals! )😜 Next time, I’ll at least have her talk about what she likes or dislikes.

[@sandrarivera8374]

WOW!! You are so creative!!! I loved it all, but my favorite was the table, that is beautiful & you didn't have to use the half rounds for the table, it still looks beautiful!!! The dish washer omg! 😍😍

[@TuckerSP2011]

Thank you. I wanted to see her reaction.

[@lisawaschko7941]

Yes, please.

[@rachaelh7640]

What a transformation!!! Beatitiful!!!

[@micheledickey4066]

Was she at least happy about it all??

[@OkieJammer2736]

Dang. I hope these young people have treated you to a swanky dinner or two for your generosity and fantastic creativity. 😀

[@maribe3842]

You are a carpenter, plumber, DIYer, interior designer, painter, electrician, and the coolest mother in law.... You are the WHOLE PACKAGE. Very pretty transformation! 😄

[@annenickmom]

All great ideas for a kitchen upgrade but I hope viewers don't miss the true value of these two makeovers. There is something about a woman's spirit that more fully awakens and flourishes in a home that has a sense of warmth and welcome. More than just a collection of redec ideas, you have managed to create inviting areas for Amayah (sp?) to enjoy in solitude or when others come to gather. It's important to note that this warmth can be achieved no matter the style of decor or the limitations to budget. There are a multitude of DIY videos out there that show how to make copycat decor pieces but the valuable difference I see in your channel is the way you incorporate projects into a homey aesthetic. Sending along my appreciation not only for your skill but for your artistic understanding of what makes a home truly livable.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much, Nancy! I really appreciate those kind words. 🥰 Amiah is very appreciative of everything I did. I think she is spending a lot of time on her sofa now (like she said she would)!

You’re the best DIYer on the platform! Your faux dining table came out incredible, lovely work

[@cliftonmcnalley8469]

When wanting to glue non-permanent tiles to drywall, I always cover the drywall with contact paper and then glue the tiles to the contact paper. The tiles stick better and when they need to come down the drywall is still in great shape. I did this with a dozen 12"x12" cork tiles, 3/8" thick, to use as a tack board over my desk. Still sticking perfectly after 20+ years.

[@3rscrafting]

What a great idea.

[@dayhill1616]

Great tip!

[@respondingtoit]

Thank you for sharing.

[@TheDriftwoodlover]

Interesting. I would have thought the adhesive would have torn off the drywall’s paper layer.

Good morning Sherry ~ I am in awe at your ENDLESS TALENT ! What a lovely little home she has and your transformations just makes her spaces so cozy and inviting. It feels so safe and homey! I wish my issues with my kitchen were simply more cosmetic than “big space and very wasteful” LOL!!! You gave excellent ideas for updating or changing to one’s style. Our youngest daughter is using those “peel and stick” items to update their small kitchen and I’m amazed at the beauty of those vinyl “peel and stick” products! What a nice product for quick and budget friendly fixes. She must be so thankful for your help and ideas ! Truly beautiful and cozy ! WELL DONE !! Have a blessed week ! 💛💛🙏🙏💛💛

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much, Jayne! 🥰 I think I am going to use some peel and stick tiles in my kitchen. I have never liked my backsplash, but replacing it would be very difficult because it goes behind some of the cabinetry. I am still researching products, but look for it in a future video.

Hi, Sherry....It's Betty! What an amazing makeover! I never thought I'd care for the Boho style but your beautiful projects have changed my mind. The dining table design is genius and I can't believe those chairs were only $5 each. Amiah's very lucky to have you around and her new Boho decor is stunning! Hats off to you and thanks for sharing these great design ideas. Blessings!!!

[@TP19705]

Oh my Sherry..I love the updates to that kitchen!!! I always look forward to your videos to see what I could learn by watching them. I am always watching what you create and think gee..

[@lilybart9166]

Great transformation! I would add vintage casters w/brakes to the little table. This would provide workable mobile height. Tambours are easier if you measure wide strip of dropcloth to fit your wood round and glue them on flat surface. Eliminates possibility of gap if you know size. Then it should be easier to nail the panel with all furring attached.
