After years of living in small apartments Mike and Theresa desperately wanted some space.

This is not a kitchen that works, especially for Theresa, a former nutrition major and avid cook. So, when we're done, this room will boast sustainable products, serious cook-power, and best of all: space! All on a budget of $30,000.

Just a couple months ago, Elena and Keith stumbled upon a crumbling Victorian house built in 1900 and, like the rest of the house, the kitchen isn't exactly in good shape, and it's anything but classic. They'll refinish the hardwood floors and bring in a deluxe triple basin sink and high-end faucet and pot filler. On the backsplash, they'll add some bling with a metal mosaic brick tile paired with a marble accent over the range. For appliances, they're going all-out and of course they found a deal - a 36-inch commercial range topped with a handmade pewter hood.
