Many people are surprised by what they can achieve in the kitchen when given the right instructions.This extends to DIY projects, according to kitchen design guru Wayne Watts.He explained that there are many small projects that people can embark upon in the kitchen that may give them plenty of satisfaction, as well as the chance to save money.Mr Watts told ABC 13 We talk them completely through the project, and you would be surprised of the look upon their face when they say, Look what Ive done.Small DIY jobs that can be completed in the kitchen include changing kitchen cabinet handles and, for the more adventurous, installing kitchen taps and kitchen sinks.Recent research from Lloyds TSB found that DIY expenditure has increased considerably in the UK in the last decade.Total spending on home maintenance rose by 18 per cent in real terms between 1998 and 2008, rising to 16.6 billion last year.
