Three Fast Kitchen Fixes for Under $300

With only a few hundred dollars, you can make some big changes to your kitchen. Learn about three fast kitchen fixes for under $300 in this HGTV video:

1. Butcher Block Countertops

Upgrading your countertops doesn’t have to be a budget buster – just go with wood. Butcher block countertops are a great affordable DIY option that adds instant warmth to any style of kitchen. You can cut and install it yourself.

2. Refreshed Kitchen Island

The island is the first thing you usually notice when you walk into a kitchen. For a quick refresh, pick up a marble or granit remnant which is often sold at a deep discount, then have it cut to fit your island. Have one side cut into a curve to create more counter space. If you’re handy, take this face lift a step further and wrap the cabinet exterior in 1×6 boards and paint them a bold color for more impact.

3. Stylish Bar Stools

Swap out your old bar stools for something with more personality. There are all kinds of options from minimalist to rustic to more luxe upholstered versions at a variety of price points. No matter what your style, new stools will instantly give any breakfast bar a more inviting high-end look.
