Are Ikea Cabinets Worth the Savings?
My kitchen was screaming for a makeover. Outdated appliances, cheap countertops, and ugly cabinets were just some of the things that needed to change. I decided I wanted to update everything, top to bottom. This was no easy task since this was my first kitchen remodel EVER, but I decided to go for it and make it a learning experience no matter how hard the challenge.

I looked at a few different cabinet options (Lowes, Home Depot, Ikea, and Cliqstudios) before ultimately deciding on Ikea.…
