I'm dealing with some not-so-great DIY decisions in my kitchen: we've got some poorly executed millennial greige floors, yellow greige laminate counters, and that orange oak style from the 2000s. While I'd love to renovate everything, I'm just looking for some quick updates that can bring a cohesive look without breaking the bank or doing a full renovation. I'm open to suggestions that will maximize my money's value and impact. What's the first step I should take? Check out the mess I'm dealing with here: https://imgur.com/a/jd2FWLt

There are some quick DIY projects that you could tackle yourself! Changing the cabinet hardware and giving the cabinets a fresh coat of paint can work wonders. Adding a backsplash isn't too expensive, but make sure to do it right—please steer clear of those peel and stick tiles! Upgrading the faucet or sink can also elevate the space. Painting the walls can really tie everything together too!
Why not paint the cabinets? A bold color like maroon could really brighten things up! It's an easy fix that doesn’t require a huge investment.
You could start by adding a tile backsplash and swapping out the countertops and cabinet handles. These changes are relatively affordable and can really boost the character of your kitchen without a complete overhaul.
