The Meyers, an empty nester couple who enjoy entertaining, sought to update their outdated kitchen with more storage, seating, and a bar area. The final renovation plan included gray cabinetry, a Wolf gas range, island seating, granite counters, and a bar with wine storage. Within the $60,000 budget, the kitchen features new cabinetry, appliances, lighting, flooring, and countertops to better suit the clients' needs for cooking and hosting guests.
