Home Improvements on a small budget

Yesterday I stumbled across some OLD pictures 
(ok, 7 years ago...so maybe not that old) 
of our house when we first moved in.

Keep in mind we did most of the work ourselves...aka me. 
lol

Here is our two bathroom projects:

The master bath project was a complete tear down.

After the tear down we added a shower/plumbing (we paid plumbers to do this part), and did the rebuild job (here).

The other one was pretty much a facelift for $48

This was our "basement", 

now Master bedroom (here)

This was the kitchen,

 I recently shared how I 

repainted the cabinets for $13, 

added a backsplash for $5 and 

gave a facelift to our fridge for $7

I know there is an arm in the pic :)

For some reason I had forgotten how the house really looked like when we bought it.

But I am glad we did. 

It is a great location, and we got a good deal since the house was stuck in 1966, and in need of a desperate makeover.

It was, and is, a solid structure, so we were not worried about the "imperfections".

I knew I could make it work, and we definitely have come a LONG way.

As you can see, 

a small budget doesn't stops me, 

nor should stop you.

Stay Frugal,

Daniela
