remodel
Redo the kitchen
Remodel means to change the structure, layout, or appearance of something, most often a building or room.
When you remodel a kitchen, you might tear out cabinets, move walls, or install new fixtures—changes more extensive than simple redecoration.
The word also applies to reshaping or restructuring in other contexts: The new CEO remodeled the company's management structure.
A remodel is the project or process of remodeling.
