This budget kitchen redo brings a mother of five's dream to life. And it even landed on the cover of Better Homes & Garden's Do It Yourself Magazine! Previously, the bleak kitchen was all white with very plain cabinets: anything but a cheerful gathering place for the family. Jodi Davenport picked her favorite colors, and, together with the help of our friend and painter Phyllis Harris, we applied them to the cabinets adding glass doors for a vintage feeling. We even used one cabinet door as a picture frame for photos of her mother as a child. "It was very meaningful to my mom to be so honored in our kitchen," says Jodi.

The kitchen’s old pressed-tin ceiling was recycled and added as a counter backsplash and wainscoting.Simple curtains were cut and sewn from heirloom sheets that had been hand embroidered with butterflies. Also a banquette was built into an unused fireplace mantle to add seating to the table.
Jodi
Jodi had never considered herself to be artistic until Kelee put a paintbrush in her hand. "Kelee asked me to name a symbol that represented my value of family. I chose fruit – it is so abundant!" Kelee: To get Jodi started, I found a 1950s table cloth with simple fruit that we traced onto a canvas slip cover. Showing her how easy it is to paint with acrylics, she took to it like Paloma Picasso! What IS a mother of five if not creative?
