In this week 's episode of Kitchen Renovations, host Paul Ryan and homeowners Marshall and Jeanine convert this "old" kitchen ... into an eye-catching contemporary beauty! Figure A Figure

In this episode of DIY 's Kitchen Renovations, host Paul Ryan introduces the homeowners (Marshall and Jeanine) and reveals the plan (after conferring with a designer Diana Berndt) for a contemporary kitchen renovation.

• To achieve a soft, contemporary plan, Berndt first suggested new countertops in order to center the sink under the kitchen window.

• Update the appliances, and integrate a stovetop into the kitchen island. This will marry the island with a cook-top and seating area.

• Eliminate a wall in order to capture the space and enlarge the kitchen, which will allow space for the island and eating area.

• The estimated cost for all the products and materials is less than $30,000.

  Note: Whenever you are planning a major renovation such as this one, be sure to check with local authorities to see if a building permit is required.

Materials and Tools:

Safety gear (eye protection, gloves and mask)
Appliance dolly
Plastic (for doorways)
Drill
Wrench
Pry bar
Hammer
Reciprocating saw
Roofing shovel (for ceramic tile)
Wallpaper scoring tool
Stripping spray
Optional: steamer

1. First, you need to clean out the kitchen and cabinets.

2. Remove appliances with an appliance dolly (figure A), which can be rented for approximately $15 a day.

3. Turn off both gas lines -- one at the appliance and one at the supply origin (figure B).

   Tip: Hire a plumber if you have any doubts about your electrical-and-wiring knowledge.

In the next segment, Ryan and the homeowners will start tearing out the old cabinets and countertop, and they'll remove the ceramic tile flooring.
