The kitchen is the heart and hub of any home. From mealtime to merriment, the kitchen serves as the spot for parties and family-centric events. And due to its perennial popularity, the kitchen is often the number one room that homeowners want to overhaul. Still, updating and renovating a kitchen is often a pricey endeavor and not something for the budget conscious to tackle. While a full kitchen remodel might be out of reach, there are plenty of ideas for adding personality and panache to a kitchen in need of a revamp.
