From planning a makeover to tackling the nuts-and-bolts of each project, Popular Mechanics provides three appealing ways to create your dream kitchen. See what amazing transformations are possible on economy, mid-range, and high end budgets, either to duplicate exactly or use as inspiration.

All the fundamentals are shown, in a variety of styles, along with remedies for such common problems as lack of counter space; the essentials of electricity, plumbing, and ventilation; and the “work flow and traffic patterns” of different layouts.
