When it comes to transforming your home, nothing is better than a kitchen renovation. Your kitchen is the heart of the home, and having a functional yet aesthetic kitchen only makes it a pleasure to cook, host, and entertain. A perfect example is David and Sara’s experience, a couple from Chicago that took a leap of faith and turned their apartment kitchen into a true haven.

Their journey of turning their kitchen into a modern masterpiece wasn’t without hard work, as they searched for a while before finding the right contractor for the project. Sara was captivated by the craftsmanship and effort behind the Rebel design by Corner, so the couple chose to hire them. After some convincing, she also managed to get David on board with the bold color she chose. Here are the before and after photos of this amazing kitchen renovation that you will surely love as much as we did:
