Supplies for upgrades can be purchased with your @HomeDepot Consumer Credit Card. Bigger updates like countertops or flooring can also make a huge difference in the look of your space! Which kitchen is your favorite transformation? I think my current kitchen is my favorite, but I might be biased! @Citi
