WAUWATOSA (WITI) The kitchen is the heart of the home and thats certainly the case for Bev and Bob Gross.

I didn`t really realize how much more cooking and how much more at ease I could be, said Bev.

But thats a recent sentiment as they just had a kitchen make-over.

Bev and Bob decided to make the upgrades after attending last years Nari Tour of Remodeled Homes.

I think Bob and I went to about 12 places or so that day and you just meet the contractor, you get a feel for their personality, and what they like to work on, said Bev.

The tour includes more than 20 homes and gives those attending a chance to get an up-close look at the craftsmanship, instead of just seeing pictures.

You get that opportunity to go into the homes and you can see how the kitchen was remodeled, you can touch and feel the cabinetry, or the flooring, or the countertops, you can see with an addition how well it blends in with the rest of the home, said NARI Spokesperson Dave Amoroso.

Bev and Bob met the contractor they hired at the Tour of Remodeled Homes, who then turned their small kitchen into a high-tech functional space.

More storage, more countertops, new appliances, new flooring, and we did amazing lighting, LED lights, said Allen Kitchen and Bath Owner Laree Allen.
