This kitchen remodel maintained the original footprint while introducing thoughtful design updates to improve both functionality and aesthetics. The most significant structural change involved straightening out a diagonal entry wall, creating a cleaner, more cohesive layout. Appliance placement was reimagined to better suit the homeowner’s cooking habits, replacing the cooktop and double wall ovens with a full range and decorative range hood. A dedicated baking area, complete with a built-in oven and a cabinet featuring a convenient mixer lift, ensures that no functionality was lost in the transition.
Storage and organization were key priorities in this renovation. Custom features such as a spice pull-out, utensil and cutting board pull-out, and a hidden trash pull-out maximize efficiency while maintaining a sleek, uncluttered look. By tailoring the cabinetry to the homeowner’s needs, the kitchen is now both beautiful and highly practical. Visually, the transformation was dramatic. The existing hardwood floors were refinished with a darker stain, removing their former yellow-orange hue and creating a rich, elegant foundation. New cabinetry introduced contrast and depth—light-toned upper cabinets brighten the space, while deep indigo base cabinets ground the design.
A stunning white quartz countertop with soft caramel and gray veining ties together the cool stainless appliances with the warmth of the wood floors and gold finishes. To further enhance the design, a marble picket backsplash extends to the ceiling, adding texture and visual interest while seamlessly blending warm and cool tones. This remodel successfully balanced form and function, preserving the kitchen’s original footprint while completely transforming its style and usability. The result is a space that feels open, thoughtfully designed, and perfectly suited to the homeowner’s lifestyle.
