She contacted RTA Cabinet Store for assistance in transforming her old-fashioned kitchen to a more sleek and modern style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marina planned the overall kitchen design, built the cabinets, painted, and installed the backsplash. Then she hired an awesome contractor to complete the major construction, such as the cabinet install, plumbing, and electrical work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a quick, painless project that didn\u2019t cost a fortune\u2014and she\u2019s so happy with the results!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While we regularly share tips on how to customize kitchens to fit your unique lifestyle needs, we\u2019ve decided there\u2019s no better source of inspiration and fresh ideas than from our own clients\u2019 renovations<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2304\" height=\"1536\" src=\"\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/rtacabinet\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Peele-Kitchen-Before.jpg\" alt=\"Peele-Kitchen Before\" class=\"wp-image-1002\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Peele-Kitchen-Before.jpg 2304w, https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Peele-Kitchen-Before-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Peele-Kitchen-Before-1024x682.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2304px) 100vw, 2304px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2304\" height=\"1536\" src=\"\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/rtacabinet\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Peele-Cognac6.jpg\" alt=\"Peele-Cognac6\" class=\"wp-image-1001\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Peele-Cognac6.jpg 2304w, https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Peele-Cognac6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Peele-Cognac6-1024x682.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2304px) 100vw, 2304px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><b>Overall budget:<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Marina spent only $15,000 to completely revamp her kitchen.

Cognac Shaker cabinets are a perfect choice for a simple, functional, and elegant kitchen. The line is finished in a mocha stain and treated with a baked-on glaze finish for unsurpassed durability. This cabinet style is solidly constructed from birch wood and has a full overlay solid hardwood door with 3-inch stiles and rails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><b>Unique features or touches added:<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"836\" height=\"556\" src=\"\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/rtacabinet\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Screen-Shot-2015-06-09-at-3.53.17-PM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2015-06-09 at 3.53.17 PM\" class=\"wp-image-1009\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Screen-Shot-2015-06-09-at-3.53.17-PM.png 836w, https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Screen-Shot-2015-06-09-at-3.53.17-PM-300x199.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 836px) 100vw, 836px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To take the kitchen to the next level and add her own unique touch, Marina added a custom, built-in wine rack, a DIY Edison Chandelier, and a matching center cart\/island to hide trash and recycling.
