Kicking Up the Kitchen

Shaker-style cabinets in a light finish paired with stainless-steel appliances give the room a clean and modern look. The refrigerator is moved to the opposite wall to open up the room and allow for more counter space. New laminate countertops mimic the look of stone, but cost a whole lot less. The glass mosaic-tile backsplash adds personality and color.
