Modern Kitchen Transformation
Complete Kitchen Renovation with Custom Cabinetry
About This Project
This Country Hills homeowner wanted to modernize their dated 1990s kitchen while improving functionality for their growing family. The existing kitchen had oak cabinets, laminate countertops, and a closed-off layout that made the space feel cramped.
We removed a non-load-bearing wall between the kitchen and dining area to create an open-concept layout, instantly making the space feel larger and more connected. New custom white shaker-style cabinets were installed with soft-close hinges and pull-out organizers. The gorgeous white quartz countertops with subtle veining provide durability and timeless elegance.
A large island with seating for four was added, featuring a prep sink and additional storage. New stainless steel appliances, a tiled backsplash in a modern herringbone pattern, and under-cabinet LED lighting completed the transformation.
