Bill and Meredith live in a 400 square foot guesthouse with no stove or oven, so Meredith has to cook on a hotplate. With visions of a real kitchen and a budget of $325,000, the couple sets out to buy a house in the Los Angeles suburbs. The moment they find one, they embark on a full on renovation with a designer to create an earthy, modern and masculine kitchen that they both will love.
