Pismo Beach, Calif.-based designer Ariana Lovato was tasked with transforming most of this 90s ranch, including a kitchen and two bathrooms. She was to work with a budget of just $120,000 and a tight timeline, as the homeowners waited in a rental and then an RV.
By removing a wall, the designer created space for a large island with a cost-effective, butcher-block top.
Prefabricated cabinets provide big benefits to the budget but look one-of-a-kind thanks to high-end hardware.
Wood-look luxury vinyl flooring throughout much of the home offered a major savings and the bonus of durability.
Fun, removable wallpaper in the guest bath makes a creative statement above the prefabricated vanity.
A barn door leads to the expanded master bathroom, giving a touch of farmhouse style.
The master bath feels luxurious thanks to a budget-friendly porcelain shower tile that looks like marble.
