Design Plan for I Hate My Kitchen - Colliding styles

April and Rashan had a limited budget

Quite a challenge having to transform a kitchen into a modern functional space

I started with their cabinets, kept the frames and had them restain them a rich color

I had the doors replaced with these modern aluminum frames with frosted panels - Rock'in!

We save a ton on the granite countertops - tiles!  Thick edges make this look high end!

Flooring was soooooo easy to install and looks amazing!  No glue, no nails, just lay and stick!

To add interest on a long blank wall and to open the space up I went with stainless steel panels and floating shelves

Panels can be bought at any home improvement store and the shelving bought at the container store.

Placed a stainless micro on the shelf instead of a cabinet/micro - over done!

Window treatments are actually placemats!  No sew! (I hate sewing.....)

Styling for the shoot, kept it simple and clean.

Wanted a fun centerpiece, made this myself and I love layering plates and napkins - texture and depth!

Hope you enjoyed the makeover!
