Splurge Wisely

Make a list of your priorities. Is a white kitchen a must-have? What type of flooring is a must? Do you desperately need a few glass kitchen cupboards, or possibly cabinets up to your ceiling......or both? Are you willing to install a backsplash yourself to save some money for other projects? Separate your list into three columns. Column 1: Must-Have; Column 2: Really Want; Column 3: Would be Nice. This way you already have in mind what you will and will not compromise on. By doing this, when the budget gets tight, you have already set your priorities.
