Design on a Dime

Inviting Mexican Kitchen (1x20)

Air date: Jun 13, 2003

Schoolteachers Tony and Elaine Aguilar want their bland kitchen to feel warm and reflect their Mexican-American heritage. After viewing the room in person, host Sam Kivett meets with his design team to discuss a warm and pulled-together kitchen for the Aguilars. They need to brighten the room with a warm yellow wall color, purchase a new table and chairs and replace the lights. Once it's complete, the Aguilars' bland kitchen that was struggling to find a theme is vibrant and has a definite style that draws on the lively colors and welcoming feeling of their heritage. This kitchen is now inviting and functional for the entire family and the team did it all for under $1,000 dollars.
