48 Hour Euro Style: Clearing the Kitchen From "Kitchen Renovations" episode DKTN-109

	Orange, yellow, lime green--it seemed like a good idea at the time! Paul helps homeowner Laura turn this citrus-flavored crazy kitchen...
	...with new light-colored cabinets...
	...and an eye-catching backsplash.
	Modern appliances top off this stunning kitchen renovation!

Homeowner Laura thought a citrus-flavored color combination would give her the kitchen of her dreams. Instead it turned into something of a nightmare. Host Paul Ryan shows her how to take the kitchen in a whole new direction with sleek European style in just 48 hours.

The plan of action calls for:

• Hauling out the old appliances and donating them to a non-profit organization
  
• Replace appliances with stainless-steel items
  
• Pull off the old cabinet doors and drawers and measure the openings for replacements
  
• Reconfigure the cabinets to make room for a larger refrigerator and microwave
  
• Cut new cabinet doors out of Baltic birch plywood
  
• Install doors using hidden hinges
