This kitchen was cute and comfortable with good functionality and space, but it lacked the sleek, sophisticated style needed to match the homeowners’ personalities.

The layout worked, but the finishes and appliances needed a modern-day update.

The list of priorities included more storage, an apron sink and quartz countertops. The transformation also added matching upper cabinets in wood and glass, stainless-steel appliances and an intricately patterned mosaic backsplash.

The piece de resistance was replacing the small mass-produced table with a custom kitchen island with deep drawers for spacious storage and a built-in wine cooler. This is now the focal point of the room and the envy of all the homeowners’ friends and neighbors.
