Kitchen Under $50,000 1

An Inviting Updated Kitchen

BP-Kitchen-Remodeling-Cost-7

Designed by Klaudia H. Spivey, CMKBD, IIDA,  Design Times Inc., Denver, CO. 

Initial Budget: $45,000 to $50,000.

 

Final Cost: $48,972. To stay within the budget range, the designer used the existing dishwasher and microwave and suggested refinishing rather than replacing the existing floor.

 

Client’s Goals:

  • Create a more inviting kitchen that would interact well with the rest of the home.
  • Replace appliances and cabinets.
  • Select cabinetry with increased efficiency and storage capabilities.
  • Make the kitchen more aesthetically pleasing.
  • Include a desk area.
  • Improve lighting.
  • Incorporate wine storage.

 

Designer’s Solutions:

  • Created a more open flow by removing part of an existing wall that separated the kitchen and dining room.
  • Moved the cooking appliances, allowing for more countertop and storage space by the open bar area.
  • Specified a refrigerator model that would not dominate the room.
  • Added a combination of general lighting (ceiling cans), task lighting (undercabinet lighting), and decorative lighting (three pendants over the sink).
  • Incorporated a wine cooler.
