Kitchen Reno 🛠️

By AllisonSkiff

Everything I’m using for my budget friendly kitchen renovation and transformation.

Yes, you can remove backsplash without removing drywall. 👏 I was determined not to derail my kitchen reno by tearing into the drywall—so when the hammer and chisel weren’t cutting it (literally), I headed to Lowe’s Home Improvement and grabbed the Kobalt Oscillating Saw 💙

Total game changer. 💥 It broke up the grout fast, helped the tiles pop off easier, and saved my walls and my timeline. If you're planning to demo a backsplash, this tool is the hero you need.

You’ve probably heard of paintable caulk but have you heard of tintable caulk? Comment SHOP and I’ll send this straight to your inbox 💌

I’m all about working smarter not harder, especially with a large scale renovation like a kitchen. Exact color caulk takes a step out of the process by allowing you to color match your caulk to your paint color. And it couldn’t have been easier. Here’s all you need to do:

- snip the caulk bottle open
- add 20 ml of your paint to the caulk (measuring tool included)
- screw lid on and shake for 60 seconds
- add provided thickener
- add lid and shake for 60 more seconds
- wait 30 minutes
- caulk as you normally would

I’m not kidding when I say I’ll never buy paintable caulk again. I wish I would’ve discovered this sooner because it’s a game changer! Comment SHOP and see for yourself!

You’ve probably heard of paintable caulk — but have you heard of tintable caulk?

I’m all about working smarter, not harder, especially with a large-scale renovation like a kitchen. eXact Color takes the guesswork out by letting you color match your caulk to your paint — and it couldn’t be easier.

Here’s how it works:
• Snip the caulk tube open
• Add 20 ml of your paint (measuring tool included)
• Screw the lid on and shake for 60 seconds
• Add the provided thickener
• Shake again for 60 seconds
• Wait 30 minutes
• Caulk as usual

I’ll never buy “paintable” caulk again — once you try this, you won’t either. Total game-changer.

Looking for the perfect warm neutral paint color? You’ll want to save this for later!

Last year I painted my kitchen cabinets Stone Hearth by Benjamin Moore. It’s the perfect moody taupe that adds just the right amount of contrast in my kitchen. It feels like a warm hug ✨

If it’s ugly: paint it.

Last fall while I was renovating my kitchen, I decided to transform my dark speckled granite countertops into a white carrara marble finish simply by painting them! It took me three base coats of white primer, and then I added “veining” by dragging a skinny paint brush dipped in charcoal grey paint and misting it with water for a feathered effect.

But won’t they get damaged? That’s where the epoxy topcoat comes in. The epoxy adds a shine and protects the new “marble” from everyday kitchen use. I’m almost one year into using mine and they’ve been holding up great!

The countertop kits have everything you need from start to finish. Full tutorial is available on AllisonSkiff.com

11 weeks in 11 seconds! 🛠️

Last year I did a budget friendly kitchen renovation with minimal demo. My goal was to make my kitchen feel warmer and more consistent with the rest of the house. Today it’s one of my favorite spaces and something I’m so proud of!

Do I dream of real marble counters someday? Of course! But for now this is a great temporary solution while I work towards that.

I’ve always dreamt of having a kitchen with white Carrara marble countertops, but it wasn't in the cards for my no demo kitchen reno. But also, why live with something you absolutely hate? The answer is you don’t have to.

Last fall while I was renovating my kitchen, I decided to transform my dark speckled granite countertops into a white carrara marble finish simply by painting them! It took me three base coats of white primer, and then I added “veining” by dragging a skinny paint brush dipped in charcoal grey paint and misting it with water for a feathered effect.

But won’t they get damaged? That’s where the epoxy topcoat comes in. The epoxy adds a shine and protects the new “marble” from everyday kitchen use. I’m 8 months into using mine and they’ve been holding up great!

I may not know how to do everything, but I know what things cost.

Last year a handyman quoted me $670 over the phone to replace one drawer in my kitchen (without having the measurements). So naturally I decided to renovate the entire kitchen by myself. One year later and I feel like I should write that guy a thank you note.

If you want to improve your home but don't know where to start, my advice is to just start. Pick up a paint brush, change out some hardware, or buy your first power tool. Trust me - something magical is waiting on the other side of your fear!
