Easy Ways to Update your Kitchen
Cheap / easy ways to update an older rental house?
i am renting a house that is a bit outdated.. i was wondering if anyone has any quick fix ideas for the outdated kitchen (ugly cabinets/appliances/no dishwasher), floors (blue carpet/vinyl tile) and bathrooms (PINK wall / floor tiles), wood panel wainscoting....the landlord said we can do whatever we want as long as we pay for.. the rent is so cheap i dont mind putting a little money into it because i will be here for awhile. in your opinion where should we spend the money to get the most for it (looks wise)? any ideas would be greatly appreciated! thanks!
Afew years ago my husband and I rented an old farmhouse that was very rundown. Same situation for us, we were allowed to do whatever we wanted as long as we paid for it. (we didn't have much money either) My advice is to paint, paint, paint everything! So many things can be painted. You will probably have to use oil based paint not latex (water based). Where I live WalMart carries these great area carpets that are quite large and are only $40. Also peel and stick tiles can cover up an ugly back splash, bathroom walls and other floors. They are cheap and super easy to install. Unfortunately with old houses once you start working on them you discover nasty little(and big) surprises. My advice is to just make it liveable and if the rent is cheap and you are going to be there for awhile you might as well fix it up a little and enjoy the place. At least you will be able to have company over and not be embarrased! We did break down and buy some new and used appliances but at least we can take them with us (same with the area carpets). Good luck!
