It’s amazing how new countertops, backsplash, appliances and a fresh coat of paint on the walls can change the look of an entire kitchen. With a kitchen that already had good bones, it’s a true case of what we like to call “lipstick and makeup.” The kitchen cabinetry was already white so we left the color as is, but even so, the space resulted in an even brighter environment. The main goals for the space was to improve the kitchen design aesthetically and also improve it’s functionality. We went out with the old and in with the new all while keeping the cabinetry! Want to see how we gave this space a makeover? Read on below! But first, check out the space before the remodel Cabinets As mentioned above, we maintained the white cabinets but we also removed the black painted cabinets by the wall oven and replaced it with a new microwave and oven. This resulted in a more seamless look by removing the random black cabinets. Also, already having white cabinets gave us a taste of what the space was going to become. Countertops Replacing the countertops probably had the biggest impact on the space. Overall, it enhanced the space and also gave the kitchen a brighter quality. The new countertops are a 3cm Caesarstone London Grey. This a popular option because it has a marble-like look, but is much stronger than marble. The countertops really tied the whole space together! Backsplash Previously, the kitchen only had a 4” splashlette matching the countertop, so incorporating a tile backsplash was a major requirement for our clients and overall an upgrade to the space. The featured tiles are a 3×6 Desert Grey tiles from Daltile installed in a bricklay to the left and right of the sink, and and by the opening into the family room. The grey tone on the backsplash is a wonderful accent to the space! Fixtures and Fittings Lastly, it wouldn’t be complete without new fixtures and fittings! With new stainless steel appliances, the sink and faucet follow suit and match the finish. All from Blanco, we have a Stellar Super Single Bowl sink in a stainless steel refined brush finish, and a Grace II Pull-down faucet in a satin nickel finish.

Our clients came to us wanting to update and open up their kitchen, breakfast nook, wet bar, and den. They wanted a cleaner look without clutter but didn’t want to go with an all-white kitchen, fearing it’s too trendy. Their kitchen was not utilized well and was not aesthetically appealing; it was very ornate and dark. The cooktop was too far back in the kitchen towards the butler’s pantry, making it awkward when cooking, so they knew they wanted that moved. The rest was left up to our designer to overcome these obstacles and give them their dream kitchen. We gutted the kitchen cabinets, including the built-in china cabinet and all finishes. The pony wall that once separated the kitchen from the den (and also housed the sink, dishwasher, and ice maker) was removed, and those appliances were relocated to the new large island, which had a ton of storage and a 15” overhang for bar seating. Beautiful aged brass Quebec 6-light pendants were hung above the island. All cabinets were replaced and drawers were designed to maximize storage. The Eclipse “Greensboro” cabinetry was painted gray with satin brass Emtek Mod Hex “Urban Modern” pulls. A large banquet seating area was added where the stand-alone kitchen table once sat. The main wall was covered with 20x20 white Golwoo tile. The backsplash in the kitchen and the banquette accent tile was a contemporary coordinating Tempesta Neve polished Wheaton mosaic marble. In the wet bar, they wanted to completely gut and replace everything! The overhang was useless and it was closed off with a large bar that they wanted to be opened up, so we leveled out the ceilings and filled in the original doorway into the bar in order for the flow into the kitchen and living room more natural. We gutted all cabinets, plumbing, appliances, light fixtures, and the pass-through pony wall. A beautiful backsplash was installed using Nova Hex Graphite ceramic mosaic 5x5 tile. A 15” overhang was added at the counter for bar seating. In the den, they hated the brick fireplace and wanted a less rustic look. The original mantel was very bulky and dark, whereas they preferred a more rectangular firebox opening, if possible. We removed the fireplace and surrounding hearth, brick, and trim, as well as the built-in cabinets. The new fireplace was flush with the wall and surrounded with Tempesta Neve Polished Marble 8x20 installed in a Herringbone pattern. The TV was hung above the fireplace and floating shelves were added to the surrounding walls for photographs and artwork. They wanted to completely gut and replace everything in the powder bath, so we started by adding blocking in the wall for the new floating cabinet and a white vessel sink. Black Boardwalk Charcoal Hex Porcelain mosaic 2x2 tile was used on the bathroom floor; coordinating with a contemporary “Cleopatra Silver Amalfi” black glass 2x4 mosaic wall tile. Two Schoolhouse Electric “Isaac” short arm brass sconces were added above the aged brass metal framed hexagon mirror. The countertops used in here, as well as the kitchen and bar, were Elements quartz “White Lightning.” We refinished all existing wood floors downstairs with hand scraped with the grain. Our clients absolutely love their new space with its ease of organization and functionality.
