Share your DIY cabinet and countertop experiences

We have featured a lot of kitchen makeovers over the years and the number one question we get is “How is it holding up?” Because even when it saves you lots of money, it’s still a LOT of work and you want to make sure you know what you’re getting into.

So, we’re teaming up with some of our favorite bloggers to get their experience and feedback, and we want to hear from YOU, too! We will compile the results and we hope to share the results with you in July, depending on the volume of responses. Fill out the form below to share your experience(s) with us! And please, share with your DIYing friends, too! If you’re reading this in a reader or your email, click here to fill out the form.
