We just came across this great journal of a kitchen remodel that the homeowners are trying to achieve in under $10k. They are almost complete and it looks like they'll be just a tad over the budget which is great considering a project of this scope can easily hit $40-$60k or more. Check out the progress.

Here's an innovative way of removing the unsightly and sometimes smelly kitchen garbage can to a convenient and easy to use place. We also love the idea just cutting a hole in your countertop where you can slide scraps and trash right off the cutting board and into the trash. A bit like those holes in the Starbucks sugar/milk counters.
