Decorating Cents Season 4 Episode 13 Botanical Kitchen and More

Decorating Cents season 4 episode 13, "Botanical Kitchen and More," showcases inspiring design concepts in home decor that don't break the bank. Host Joan Steffend provides viewers with ingenious tips and tricks to transform drab spaces into stylish and practical living areas.

In this episode, Joan visits a kitchen that was in desperate need of a facelift. The homeowners wanted to bring some nature into their kitchen and create a more serene atmosphere. Joan's solution was to highlight the homeowner's existing love for gardening and greenery by incorporating botanical prints of ferns and flowers in the kitchen's decor.

Joan demonstrates how to make affordable botanical plates with a few DIY steps and materials, such as wooden plates, paint, and stencils. She also gives the backsplash a whimsical touch by painting a mural of a garden path leading to a flowering tree. The mural has a clever twist - the tree is actually a wall decal that can be easily removed and replaced with another design whenever the homeowner gets bored.

Moving on to the dining area, Joan already had a challenge on her hands. The dining table was too big for the space and didn't match the rest of the room's decor. Joan's solution was to create a storage bench that could seat up to three people while taking up minimal space. She transformed a boring bookshelf into a bench by adding a top cushion and upholstering it with botanical-themed fabric. The bench's open shelves provided the perfect space to store cookbooks and other kitchen essentials.

Joan also added a touch of warmth to the living room with a simple but bold rug and a few strategically placed pieces of botanical-themed art. She explains how the rug's warm colors and texture can help to define a space and create a cozy atmosphere. She also shows viewers how to create a gallery wall with mismatched frames for a cohesive look.

Finally, Joan brings the outdoors inside by creating a cozy outdoor living area on the homeowner's deck. She uses inexpensive but stylish furniture and decor to create a comfortable and inviting space. She makes use of a simple, yet versatile rug that can withstand the elements and can be easily cleaned. The botanical theme carries over to the outdoor space with the addition of potted plants and lanterns that create a warm and welcoming ambiance.

Overall, Decorating Cents season 4 episode 13, "Botanical Kitchen and More" is a great resource for anyone looking to refresh their living space on a budget. Joan Steffend's creative ideas and resourcefulness demonstrate that anyone can achieve stylish and comfortable living spaces with a little imagination and some DIY know-how.
