I have very specific ideas of what my bedroom and kitchen will look like. A lot of my inspiration for these rooms comes from magazines like Cottage Living, where photos of the most adorable houses in the world go to live. And while I love each and every cottage house, I cringe when I hear things like, "We had to spend an extra $10,000 to get the room how we wanted it...." The room??? That would be my budget for redoing whatever house I end up buying!
So here's an idea to help get "the perfect kitchen" that won't add $$$$ to your decorating budget: rather than refinishing kitchen cabinets (which cost a pretty penny), rip off the cabinet doors entirely, and wallpaper the backs (or bottoms and tops too if you like) with the prettiest wallpaper you can find. Or if you want to spend a bit extra, fit the cabinets with glass doors (this will let the paper show through, and cut down on the dusting a bit).
Pretty Little World loves the coral wallpaper below from Thibautdesign.com. (And they have loads of other lovely papers).

You saved my life with this coral wall paper! I want to put it in a little nook in my teeny cottage that will be used for my desk and this will be inside the little space. like a small jewelry box. I hope its still available!!!!!
