When I moved into my Williamsburg apartment, the kitchen was straight out of the 90s dark cabinets, scratched laminate countertops, and barely any storage. Over two weekends, I did a full refresh:

- Replaced the old cabinets with white shaker cabinets from IKEA.

- Installed quartz countertops from Home Depot, which have held up beautifully against spills.

- Added under-cabinet LED lighting and open shelving to brighten the space.

- Painted the walls soft gray to make the room feel bigger.

Tip: Use vertical space for storage. Hooks for pots and magnetic knife strips keep counters clear. Even small kitchens feel larger with light colors and proper lighting.

📍 Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY
