Gave My Kitchen a Glow-Up (with Tape 💀)

Moved into my 7th apartment and this kitchen said: “you will suffer.” So I said: bet. 🛠️ $4 masking tape = fake backsplash 🧵 $6 IKEA curtain = mood lighting 🧺 Emotional support basket from my last 6 moves 🕯️ Candle to distract you from the sadness behind the cabinet doors This is not a kitchen renovation. This is survival. But it’s giving: poor man’s Pinterest. #RentingInChicago #DIYKitchen #RenterHacks #BrokeBoyGlowUp #ChicagoApartment #MaleLivingSpace #SadButCute
