My kitchen was gloomy and dark. Kitchen cabinets would have cost over $20K. I decided the fastest way to brighten the space was painting the kitchen cabinets white instead of replacing them.

For 12 years, I couldn’t fully open my coat closet door. Not because the door was broken—but because my furniture layout blocked it. The door opened halfway. That was it. And for years, I just… lived with it. Until it became a daily annoyance. So, I made a plan to fix it.

Inefficient wall heaters had me freezing in the winter and baking in the summer. I decided to RTTPYO the problem with a ductless heat pump mini split system. Find out how this upgrade improved my comfort and lowered my bills.
