The lovely results of this West Hills kitchen remodel prove "budget" does not have to be a dirty word. Using stock cabinets and keeping the original floor plan in place + changing a central dining table to an island, added much needed storage. The big benefit, however, was the freeing up of funds for high end finishes like natural stone countertops, a mosaic tile backsplash, driftwood finish floors, a farmhouse sink, microwave drawer and stainless appliances.
