Decor Inspiration: Update Your Kitchen on a Budget!

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Kohler. All opinions are 100% mine.

Most will agree that the kitchen is the heart of the home so, of course, you want it to look its best and reflect your sense of style. Fortunately, it doesn't have to cost a lot of money to update the look of your kitchen. There are simple and budget-friendly steps you can take to transform and freshen the room:

1) Add pretty pastel or bright-colored dish towels for a quick pick-me-up;

2) Indoor house plants will add color, shape and life to the kitchen, providing the 'homey' feel we all crave; and

3) Change your outdated faucet with a sleek faucet fixture. It's the crown jewel in the kitchen and one of the most-used fixtures in your home! A new faucet fixture instantly brings your kitchen into the 21st century. 

With a vast selection of faucet designs, finishes and mounting styles out there, it can be overwhelming to find the right faucet. If you focus on form, function and quality, it will help to narrow your choices. For example, a faucet fixture with a higher arch will help to wash larger pans with ease, while a dual function pull-down sprayer (priceless!) offers flexibility for various kitchen tasks. 

There are three faucets that I feel stand out in quality, appearance and multi-tasking features. They are the Sous Faucet, Worth Faucet and the Trielle Faucet. 

First, I'm crushing on the Kohler Sous Kitchen Faucet:

Everything Door Mats Reduces Fatigue {Review}

If you are like me, you probably get a lower backache when you are standing in the kitchen for long periods of time. The hard surfaces in most kitchens can be tough on the feet, knees and your lower back. This Thanksgiving, I will mostly likely be in my kitchen for a good part of the morning and afternoon, but no worries. I have a new anti-fatigue mat from EverythingDoorMats tthat will help reduce fatigue and discomfort. 

I was given the wonderful opportunity to try a fantastic (and beautiful) mat that really helps to reduce the strain of standing on a hard kitchen floor for long periods of time.  Ahhh....comfort!
