    THis is truely a winner. With very little money and lots of DIY this dated kitchen was turned into a showstopper. My kind of girl.

    I see the prices of the 2nd hand furniture was not included in your renovation cost? I would have liked to know what furniture she bought and what they cost her. And where she get such nice 2nd hand furniture from, if they are the ones she bought? I don’t really like that she filled in the big window and so shut out 90% of the natural daylight in this tiny place.
