We transformed a dated, closed-off kitchen into a bright, open, and elegant heart of the home — perfect for cooking, gathering, and everyday enjoyment.
Before
-
Dark or outdated cabinetry with heavy wood tones.
-
Small, separated workspace with limited counter space and poor flow.
-
Old appliances, basic lighting, and no dedicated eating area.
-
Closed layout that isolated the kitchen from living spaces.
-
Generic backsplash and flooring that lacked personality.
-
Insufficient storage and no modern conveniences.
What We Did
-
Opened the layout to connect kitchen, dining, and living areas for seamless flow.
-
Installed custom white shaker-style cabinetry with glass-front uppers and polished nickel hardware.
-
Created a large central island with marble-look quartz countertop, integrated prep sink, and seating with acrylic stools.
-
Added a cozy built-in banquette with tufted neutral upholstery and bay window views.
-
Incorporated a farmhouse apron-front sink, bridge faucet, and professional-grade range.
-
Designed a soft aqua glass mosaic backsplash for subtle coastal color.
-
Hung statement pendant lights — clear glass globes over the island and a dramatic capiz shell chandelier over the banquette.
-
Refinished hardwood floors in warm medium tone and added a patterned runner rug.
-
Included a built-in wet bar with wine fridge and glass storage.
-
Maximized natural light with large windows and French doors to the outdoors.
The Result
The kitchen is now an airy, elegant centerpiece — bright white cabinetry, luxurious surfaces, and thoughtful details create a space that feels both classic and fresh, ideal for family meals and entertaining.
