Rags to Riches Kitchen

Room by Room : Episode RXR-1712 -- More Projects »

The space above this stove is unfinished and in need of something interesting since it's one of the room's main focal points upon entering.

A mirror that mimics the routed groove on the cabinets expands the space and is easy to clean after cooking.

This half of the room looks nice but doesn't allow for group dinners with its small bench and china cabinet.

A new wraparound bench and table set allows up to six people to comfortably dine in this area now, which is a much more functional use of the space.
This small but stylish kitchen wasn't in bad shape when hosts Shari Hiller and Matt Fox arrived but a couple "rags to riches" projects really brought out its personality. They fix up older cabinets, show how to fit an island into even the smallest of kitchens and explain how to save some money by staining unfinished furniture yourself.
