Get the look of a pricey kitchen renovation—without the cost. All it takes is a few smart upgrades.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Paint
Stainless steel contact paper
New appliance doors
Faux granite
Cabinet refinishing or refacing
High-end kitchen hardware
Vinyl flooring
A new faucet and sink

Step 1: Paint the kitchen

Add a fresh coat of paint; it immediately brightens any room.

Step 2: Get the look of stainless steel on contact

Get the look of high-end appliances by covering them with stainless steel contact paper. Or, get a mishmash of appliances to match by ordering new doors or panels for some of them.

Tip: Before you order a new front panel for a dishwasher door, check if yours is reversible, with a different color on the opposite side.

Step 3: Get a "granite" counter

If you're still scrubbing Formica, install a faux granite counter for a fraction of the price of the real thing.

Step 4: Give cabinets a facelift

Give old cabinets a facelift by sanding them down and then refinishing or painting them. Or have them refaced -- the cabinet boxes stay but new doors are put on. If your cabinets are in decent shape, just slap on some high-end hardware, like brushed nickel knobs or drawer pulls.

Step 5: Floor it

Replace an old floor with a vinyl one, which is less expensive than ceramic tile but can look just as pricey.

Step 6: Install a new sink

Consider installing a new sink—it's a relatively inexpensive renovation that will perk up your entire kitchen. Or just invest in a new faucet.

@robro i actually like the stainless steel stickers on the appliances idea.it could work in a pinch,if you don't have the money to do a full remodel/upgrade in your kitchen, but still want it to look a little nicer then how it may look now.i think those are the people who the video is directed towards anyways :) of course if you've got the money to replace all the appliances then that would obviously be better.

Yeah, nevermind the old toxic plumbing spewing heavy metals into your water supply, unsafe electrical wiring, mold under the sink base and in the walls, inefficient appliances, uninsulated walls, bacteria everywhere, crappy 1/2" particle board cabinet boxes, etc., etc. Oh, and be sure to use HIGHLY TOXIC vinyl flooring and plastic 'stainless steel' shelf liner on your appliances.........
