Kitchen Remodel

Wednesday, February 5, 2014

My Second mood board winner was Stephanie!

She requested a kitchen remodel on a $5,000 budget.  I thought, "I can do that."  Then she told me that she doesn't DIY. NOT EVEN PAINT!  YIKES! I am hoping my board will help sway her.  Otherwise I think Stephanie's dreams of a dream kitchen will need to be split into phases that span over the next couple of years and that's fine too. 

Stephanie's kitchen has oak cabinets, fantastic oak wood floors, laminate countertops, an island, and a big breakfast nook with bay window. It has great bones!

Stephanie and her husband envisioned concrete and stainless steel counters with gray walls and a farm house table.  To tie in the black appliances, I added black accents in the rug and bar stools. 

Here's what I came up with:


More to come on sources and possible DIY options, plus a special spot for her adorable pooch and kitty.
