Kitchen Update on a Budget

One of the reasons I got into real estate was that I was flipping homes before HGTV came along to make programs about it.

Martha Stewart posted a picture of a small kitchen update on her website. If you have an old house that has solid wood kitchen cabinets, you may want to think twice before trashing them.

This color would work especially well in a beach cottage or vintage rancher. I can envision this type of kitchen in homes in South Gate or Gulf Gate in Sarasota, or Venice Gardens and South Venice.

Semi-gloss paint makes for easier clean up, and the modern pulls help create a more contemporary look. I probably would have removed the decorative scroll over the sink to give the kitchen an even more updated feel.

If you are investing in Venice FL real estate, giving those kitchen cabinets a face lift could just give you a higher return on investment.
