Refresh, Not Replace

The kitchen cabinets in this home were custom-built, inset, and perfectly suited to the architecture. They had been installed during a renovation twenty-five years ago, and added to over time. While the quality was undeniable, the look felt dated. Rather than replace what already worked, we focused on a refresh that would honor the craftsmanship while bringing the space into the present.

The Beauty of Renewal

The cabinetry was repainted in a crisp, modern tone that emphasized its clean inset detailing and created a fresh canvas for the room. New hardware, chosen for its elegant simplicity, added just the right amount of sophistication without stealing focus. The most transformative update came with the introduction of quartzite countertops-natural stone with subtle veining that elevated the entire palette. These surfaces brought depth, light, and a sense of quiet luxury to the kitchen, tying the white cabinetry and wood accents together seamlessly.

A New Chapter Without the Overhaul

Other subtle design moves, such as refinished wood flooring and updated lighting, worked in harmony with the cabinetry refresh, ensuring the entire space felt cohesive. The result is a kitchen that retains the integrity of its original design while aligning with today's standards of beauty and function. These thoughtful updates delivered the feel of a full renovation without the cost or disruption, setting the stage for many more years of use, enjoyment, and memorable gatherings.
