Kitchen

Plenty of storage in this Traditional kitchen remodel. Our clients want to design a kitchen that would provide long term use to them and there family. They wanted to be proactive with problems you find in typical kitchen such as appliance placement, counter space and lighting. This kitchen doesn't just look great it is also designed to be a better than average chef experience. Our clients loved the red stained cabinets with crown molding, easy to clean laminate countertops and even easier to clean stainless steel appliances. They also added plenty of lighting with 8 recessed lights.

The purpose of the project was the make the 1970s Harvest Gold (that just wouldn't quit) feel like it was part of the space rather than an eyesore. This was achieved by using only paint. The budget for this project was very small--$1000 ($700 of which was earmarked for the flooring). The question was posed "how can we make this kitchen look better with only using paint?"

A simple farmhouse kitchen. Homeowner decided to keep the old chimney for a decorative element. Upper cabinets are stained brown, lower cabinets are painted Sage with a brown glaze.

Kitchen remodeling project where the homeowners decided to upgrade their kitchen by installing new custom cabinets done in Oak. They went with the Bridgewood Benton square door done in a Pecan stain. To complete the new look we also installed a new Formica HD laminate countertop in Crema Mascarello and a Skybridge tile backsplash in 4x8 off white with a continental slate decorative border.

Fall colors warm up this kitchen makeover, where glass wall tiles, a DIY ceiling treatment, and new flooring create an open, natural space. The laminate countertop and large sink provide plenty of workspace while a stainless-steel faucet and nickel cabinet knobs give off a sophisticated gleam.

This customer wanted to upgrade from her original 1953 kitchen to something more modern. She decided to go with all new cabinets throughout the kitchen. She went with our Catalina door style in a Pebble Grey color, and we added Sutton pulls in satin nickel. Next, we installed a new Calcutta marble laminate countertop and a 3x12 white ceramic subway tile backsplash. To finish this transformation, we installed a new Bonega luxury vinyl tile floor. Now this homeowner has a stunning new kitchen she is proud to show off.

This brand new kitchen was created with StarMark Cabinetry’s decorative Bedford inset door style in Cherry wood finished in a Rattan stain. The golden ambers, browns and grey accents in the granite-look HD countertop bring a luxury look to this kitchen. Decorative Stone Harbor hardware in a satin nickel finish completes the look. Kitchen plan by our pro designer and installation by Hardrath Improvement, Manitowoc.
