Fixer Upper's Joanna Gaines Shares 4 Brilliant Ways to Renovate Your Kitchen Affordably

After designating your urgent renovation projects, you can begin covering up everything else you dislike but aren't overhauling right now. Or, as Joanna says, "cheating it." What does that mean? She explained, "If you hate the backsplash but the countertop is OK, keep the countertop, because when you put your canisters on there, your tea towel, that kind of stuff is what people will notice when they walk in. Not, 'oh, look at the countertops!'" Ugly kitchen floors she said can easily be covered with a rug until you're able to update them.
