But a big part of the ubiquity of subway tiles is that it's a good look for a low price (vs., e.g. , 4" squares). Except for the classic hexagon tiles, these all look much more expensive. 7 Fresh New Alternatives to Subway Tile Coverings 2013 |

As others have said, don't be too quick to discard it -- An old, well-made sofa, if reupholstered (which usually involves fixing the structural components as well as recovering), can last for decades. A $2000 couch from C&B or Pottery Barn will last 7-10 years max. The cheaper ones last won't last more than a few years. Time To Give Up Grandma's Sofa? Good Questions |

Sorry - just noticed that you want ideas that do not involve painting. I don't have an answer for that. I considered painting just the "wood" trim gray as a temporary fix but ultimately renovated instead. Before & After: Frank's Dramatic Ikea Kitchen Remodel |

@AROMINES -- I had the same "before" cabinets in my old kitchen. Because I was on a budget and new cabinets are often the biggest expense, I kept the old cabinet frames/bases and had my contractor make simple new doors out of wood. And then the entire cabinets were painted white. I also got new countertops, backsplash, floor, appliances and knobs. It looked like an entirely brand new kitchen (and it was, except for the cabinet bases/frames). Saved money but I probably wouldn't make the same choices in a "forever" home. The old cabinets frames were still fake wood, but then so are Ikea's. Before & After: Frank's Dramatic Ikea Kitchen Remodel |

I agree with the posts above. I think the dining room would look great with the living room rug, white round table and red chairs -- no tapestry, and move in a small desk against a wall if you need it. Arrangement Ideas for My Apartment? Good Questions |

That said, I do love the bathrooms and many of the light fixtures. I also love to see successful uses of F&B's Down Pipe (because I'm not brave enough to paint any rooms in my dark house that color). Crystal's Dramatic Home in San Francisco House Tour |

There's a lot of individual elements to love in this tour, but something about it felt "off" to me... before I even read the comments. It seems other people had that reaction too. Maybe it's more sterile and staged than most home tours are, including those from design professionals. And it's odd and off-putting to see such a vehement defense of this nice but not-particularly-interesting home from an AT contributor. Crystal's Dramatic Home in San Francisco House Tour |

Another cheap option for curtain fabric is to use canvas drop clothes from Home Depot -- they are about $10 each and have a tan, linen-y look to them. It's more refined than burlap but still cheap and easy. Holly's Vibrant, Personal Twist on Traditional Style House Tour |

The Gerber Sungold Accent Chair from Wayfair looks like one I got from Target's website (the Maize Clybourn, $399 but less on sale) -- it looked great, but my husband hated sitting in it so much that we sold it after six months. I think I need to stop trying to find the nonexistent holy grail of cheap, comfortable, good-looking chairs -- used/vintage or good quality is the better (and ultimately more sustainable) way to go.
