One Kitchen, Two Budgets: Craftsman Style

Before you remodel your kitchen, you need to decide on a budget. But what do you really get for the money? See one kitchen's makeover potential based on two very different budgets.

 Splurge or Save: Can You Guess?

Create a Craftsman Kitchen on a Budget

Tip No. 1. Embrace the warmth of wood. Cherry, maple, or oak cabinetry with a simple square door style won?t date quickly -- and will enhance a Craftsman-style design. Choose stock or semicustom cabinetry to minimize costs.
