The Kipers wanted to renovate their kitchen within a $4,000 budget. Three layers covered the hardwood floors, wallpaper covered the walls and the design treatments were not appropriate for the period. The Kipers replaced the exisitng floor to match the rest of the home and replaced the countertops with granite. They repainted the cabinets, removed the wallpaper and restored the plaster walls. They built a storage bench to cover the radiator and installed a stainless steel sink.
