The kitchen is one of THE most important rooms to a prospective buyer. If your kitchen hasn't been updated in decades, don't worry, there are a few things you can do to improve your kitchen without a total remodel. For example, painting the cabinets and adding new hardware to the doors and drawers can make a huge impact. Also, replacing outdated light fixtures is an inexpensive and easy way to give an updated look. Consider adding under cabinet lighting to brighten a room. A dark kitchen will not make a good impression.

Removing photos and miscellaneous notes from the fridge will help neaten the overall appearance.
