Residential Kitchen
$15,000 to $30,000

Winner: HammerSmith

The clients of this project wanted to renovate their kitchen on a shoestring budget. In order to achieve their dreams, they hired the design team at HammerSmith to get creative. They made the salvaged stove the centerpiece of the space, and set it off in a white tiled niche. ??The oversized white tile is a dramatic and cost-effective way to add an historic flair to this American Four-Square home,?? says Warner McConaughey. Two types of counter surfaces, stainless-steel appliances, deep cherry shaker cabinets and heart-pine floors finish off the look.
