Retro Kitchen

Decorating Cents : Episode DCT-2810 -- More Projects »

Before: Unexpected Renovation
What started as a leaky dishwasher ended up being a very expensive chain of events for homeowners Heidi and Brian Brezinka. Their dishwasher broke, and the resulting water rotted out their floor. They replaced the dishwasher and floor (pictured, right) and then the refrigerator went haywire. So now that they had two new stainless-steel appliances, they decided to buy a new stainless-steel stove to match. There's still plenty more things in the kitchen they'd like to change. The couple hates their butcher-block countertop, and the seating in the dinette area doesn't work well.

With the help of host Joan Steffend, carpenter Jeff Meyer and less than $500, designer Todd Pinzuti completes the partially renovated kitchen by giving it an updated 1950s retro look.
