3) Add a Backsplash
If you’re looking for a quick upgrade that you will enjoy for years to come, try something as simple as adding a backsplash. It’s amazing what an updated backsplash can do for an outdated kitchen.

4) Update Your Lighting
Say goodbye to brass & gold. Even if you don’t have the budget for new fixtures, pick up a can of Rust-Oleum spray paint & paint the old fixtures for a new look.
