Spice Up My Kitchen

A couple gets help turning a DIY nightmare into a Victorian dream kitchen.

Rebecca and Ryan Northington have a kitchen from the 1930's with metal cabinets so rusty that they are dangerous.

These homeowners are on the verge of a pink kitchen meltdown. A kitchen drowning in pink gets resuscitated.

The Deppe's kitchen is a DIY design gone wrong. It lacks enough storage space for all their dishes, glasses, pots and pans -- as well as a vent hood, garbage disposal and dishwasher.

Avocado green appliances and pink bathroom tile -- one of the worst color combinations to grace any kitchen! In addition, this kitchen has a cramped floorplan, very little storage and two different kinds of laminate flooring.

Even June Cleaver would say this kitchen is dysfuctional. Blue-green metal cabinets provide insufficient storage, old appliances are inefficient, countertops are easily scratched and the sink is outdated and rusty.

A kitchen with no drawers is hardly a kitchen at all.  

Poorly laid out cabinets, an old cooktop, laminate countertops, backsplash and floors and a garish light fixture have the McNichol's simmering over their kitchen.

The Stojek's kitchen is something like a giant maze. On top of the bad layout, there are peeling linoleum floors, fake brick vinyl sheets, a serious lack of storage and an oven sitting right in the middle of the room.

The Russo's kitchen is more than 50 years old and full of unwelcoming qualities. The cabinets are crammed to the brim, with doors that won't close and splintery sides. Outdated appliances, wood paneling, a dropped ceiling and yellowing linoleum floors add to the horror.

Bobet and Gary Marshall not only have outdated cabinets, ancient appliances, cracked flooring and a lack of storage, but their kitchen is home to a family of birds. Recently, some birds made a home in the Marshall's exhaust fan, and Bobet hasn't had the heart to kick them out. However, after having to clean feathers off the countertops, they agree that it's time for the birds to go -- along with the rest of their kitchen.

The Kovacs are ready to rid their kitchen of its stainless steel countertops, metal cabinets painted to look like wood and old and broken appliances.

Marc and Jen Sanfrancesco live in a home full of fond memories. Unfortunately, the kitchen is not one of them. The room is too narrow and filled with red countertops and red laminate flooring. There's no dishwasher, but there is a washer and dryer right next to the refrigerator.
