From Dated to Dreamy: Inside Our Stunning Kitchen Remodel
A kitchen is more than just a functional space—it’s the heart of your home. It’s where meals are prepared, memories are made, and conversations flow effortlessly. But what happens when your kitchen no longer serves your needs or style? For homeowners who love their home but feel their kitchen is outdated or inefficient, a remodel can breathe new life into the space.
When we started this project, the kitchen felt cramped, with worn-out finishes and an uninspiring layout that didn’t reflect the homeowners’ love of entertaining or cooking. Their vision? A bright, open, and modern kitchen that combined style and functionality. We couldn’t wait to bring it to life. Here’s how we turned this dream into a reality, with every detail thoughtfully planned and executed.
Perfect Fit, Every Time
Planning & Design: Laying the Foundation for Success
Every successful remodel starts with a well-thought-out plan. For this project, we worked closely with the homeowners to identify their goals. They wanted:
- A more open, spacious layout for cooking and entertaining.
- Increased storage for easy organization.
- Timeless finishes that balance modern aesthetics with warmth.
Finding Inspiration
The design process kicked off with a mix of inspiration sources—mood boards featuring light and neutral tones, Pinterest favorites with clean lines, and visits to modern showrooms. Their ultimate design aesthetic was a fusion of elegance and comfort.
Layout Changes
One of the most challenging parts of this project was reimagining the existing layout. Walls were reconfigured to create an open concept that connects the kitchen to the dining and living areas. This design change expanded the sight lines and made the space much more inviting.
Carefully Curated Materials
We then selected materials and finishes that aligned with both functionality and style:
- Cabinets: Forevermark Petite White cabinets added brightness with classic appeal.
- Countertops: GFO Calacatta Carrara stone (installed by Onur Marble & Granite) offered a luxurious, veined pattern while remaining durable enough for daily use.
- Backsplash: The Maximo Vita Bella Hexagon backsplash became a statement piece, with subtle texture and elegance.
- Flooring: NuCore Buttered Toast flooring brought warmth underfoot and seamlessly coordinated with the overall color palette.
- Hardware: Hardware Resources Naples pulls in a sleek finish completed the cabinetry with understated sophistication
Key Features That Steal the Show
Every kitchen remodel has standout features that elevate the final design. Here are four that truly shine in this project:
Custom Cabinets
The Forevermark Petite White cabinets transformed the space, offering ample storage with a design that feels timeless. Deep drawers and pull-out shelves also make accessing cookware and pantry items a breeze.
Calacatta Carrara Countertops
These stunning counters from GFO not only provide durability for food prep but also add a luxurious touch to the kitchen. The subtle veining complements the clean, neutral color scheme.
Hexagon Backsplash
The Maximo Vita Bella Hexagon backsplash added a mix of sophistication and texture. It’s not just functional—it’s a conversation starter.
Appliances and Hardware
While the appliances were sourced directly by the homeowners, they blend seamlessly with the modern design. The Hardware Resources Naples pulls complete the look with their sleek, minimalistic design.
