Some homes just need some love to really shine again; and that is exactly what Dave Marrs did in this 1983 rental property featured in Season 7 of Fixer to Fabulous! Using Front + Center’s refacing products, they transformed the kitchen and bathroom into spaces that feel fresh, functional, and full of personality!
BEFORE
The kitchen felt dated and heavy, with dark cabinet fronts that were battered and worn out.
AFTER
By refacing the existing cabinets with Front + Centers Flat in Sage, Jenny gave the kitchen a clean, and timeless look without the expense of a full remodel. The new cabinet faces and hardware brought brightness and style back, while a fresh countertop and backsplash added a polished, modern feel. The result kept the layout of the original kitchen but made it one that is more welcoming, functional, and perfectly suited for future tenants — all while keeping the renovation smart and budget friendly.
Pro Tip: Refacing cabinets is a fantastic way to update the look of the kitchen while keeping the structure intact. A cost effective solution with a huge visual payoff.
Bathroom Vanity Refresh
Dave and Jenny brought the vanity back to life with Fine Line in Baja ECOS and refreshed hardware, turning a tired piece into a bright and modern focal point of the bathroom. This simple update makes the bathroom feel fresh and more cohesive with the rest of the home. Even the smallest changes can create a big impact.
Why It Works
Even in a rental property, thoughtful updates matter. By refacing the kitchen cabinets and refreshing the bathroom vanity with Front + Center, Dave and Jenny balanced style, functionality, and budget. These updates show that you don’t need a full renovation to transform your space… sometimes, smart, focused changes are all it takes.
