Kitchen Remodel - Before and After


After



After



Before



Before

Here are after and before photos of a kitchen remodel I recently completed. We kept some of the cabinets, replacing the doors, and did a new island and new wall of cabinetry along the frig wall. The homeowner didn’t like the white cabinets and the color scheme was very dated. A fresher, cleaner look was desired with a softer color palette. Existing floor tile remained to keep budget costs down.

I like the way it turned out with the contrast in the island, countertop, and glass front cabinet interiors. It’s a much slicker look and has a more updated appeal. I would have preferred a new darker floor, something halfway between the light and dark values to ground the space, but the homeowner preferred to keep their existing tile. It is a nice new kitchen that has added much value to the home and is much more enjoyable for the homeowners....and it doesn't look just like every other house next door! I'll post the window treatments we did in this space later in the week.

  1. HI! I am thinking about doing a similar design in my current kitchen remodel. I, too, have beige tile floors that I don't want to change. I am thinking about off white cabinets with a mink glaze for the perimeter and a cherry truffle island. Do you think this look is too dated? Any other suggestions? I like the idea of off white cabinets and a dark island. Thank you!
