Ritajoy grew up on a farm in Montana and now views the west coast ocean out her kitchen window. Lucky! They live in a wonderful, old history-filled home. We share the same hobbies: Rearranging furniture, repainting rooms and decorating creatively on a tight budget!
While visiting Ritajoy's blog, I came across some MUST SHOW OFF DIY!

Very pretty before but I love the new wall color (look familiar?!) and vintage/beachy accents and open shelving. Notice the difference in the cabinets too!
See how Ritajoy stretched her budget to completely transform and update her kitchen at her original post: $159 Kitchen Makeover Reveal.
Decorating on a tight budget doesn't mean we don't LOOK and fold back pages of catalogs for things we'd love to buy. We look, right? And better than spending $$$, we're inspired to utilize DIY + creativity accomplish the same look. Ritajoy does an amazing job!
