Cheap and simple kitchen and bathroom upgrades...?

[Chris Shelton]

Looking for some advice on some beginner/mild intermediate upgrades for a kitchen and bathroom that wont break the bank.

Cheers BP!

For the kitchen, the cheapest and easiest things would be to add backsplash and paint the cabinets. Beyond that, you could re-tile the floor and swap out the appliances. Avoid replacing cabinets or countertops unless it's absolutely necessary.

For the bathroom: re-tile the shower walls and repaint the trim/walls. Beyond that, you can swap out the toilet, vanity, and light fixtures (if they are simple). If the bathroom has a tub, avoid replacing this if possible as it's quite labor-intensive.
