ANN ARBOR, MI — Zack Kaefring of Denver, CO, won Merillat Cabinetry’s Works Like a Dream kitchen makeover contest, which offered people from across the country the opportunity to transform their kitchens. Entrants submitted photos of their outdated kitchens and then created custom designs using Merillat’s Step-by-Step Kitchen planner.

For his dream kitchen, Kaefring plans to create a space that's clean and classic with white cabinets and quartz countertops.

"When we entertain we always end up congregating in the kitchen and we look around and say 'why are we in here?'" explained Kaefring. "It will be nice to have a space that's enjoyable to be in."

In addition to Kaefring’s $30,000 kitchen makeover, he also received $1,500 in Curtis Stone products and a $3,000 Open House party to show off his new kitchen. Information on the progress of Kaefring's $30,000 kitchen makeover can be found on the Merillat website, Facebook page, the Round Table Blog, Twitter and YouTube.
