Steal This Look: A Cost-Conscious Retro Kitchen in London
In their 1914 fixer-upper in Richmond Park of southwest London, Alexandra Evans and her husband, Tom, did a full kitchen remodel, managing to spend under £12,500 (or $16,000) with an additional £5,000 ($6,367) of carpentry and fitting costs. Evans kept within her budget by selecting Smeg appliances, vintage fittings, and cabinets by British Standard, the lower-priced offshoot of kitchen company Plain English. Here’s a closer look.
