1. Makeover your kitchen table

Your kitchen table is one of the most used item in your home. It`s no surprise it looks well loved (worn out). You can always buy a new table, or if it`s not an option, there is a quick fix for that. If it`s natural wood table with a few (or more) scratches or damages, just fill it with a wood filler, sand it lightly and give it a coat of varnish. You can choose from variety of shades and find one that`s the best match with a rest of your kitchen furniture. If you want to play around, leave a top part natural but paint the legs to spruce it up. I did that with our old kitchen table and it was like a totally new piece of furniture! Find the tutorial here! If it`s painted table, do the same, just paint a whole thing. If you don`t have time to sand and do all the preparation, just use a chalk paint and you`ll be done in no time, because you can paint any surface with no prepping involved.

More is more, so either change existing light fixtures with a better one (this one is gorgeous), or add more to any area you feel you need more (like this one or this one), especially in the spots where you`re prepping your meals or doing a dishes. You can also easy add led strips underneath you cabinets or your kitchen island to make everything more bright. These are great as a night lights too.
