Budget Friendly Kitchen Transformation. Goals were to update existing. To the left of this stove was once a tall cabinet which blocked the view into family room. Vision was to create view and also much needed counter cooking area. We created an upper and a lower cabinet to accomplish to resolve the issue. Subway tile with a touch of grey to accent the black pearl counter top. Updated appliances, Kohler faucet, undermount sink, satin nickle handles, and white paint helped to transform this budget friendly kitchen.
