The kitchen – often referred to as the heart of the home – is one of our favorite spaces to work in!  Thus, we were excited to have the recent opportunity to spearhead the kitchen remodel of a Hastings home.  The homeowners’ goals were simple – they wanted to update and refresh their space without completely gutting or remodeling the existing room.  Over the course of three weeks, we took their outdated kitchen, complete with old appliances, unusable counter space, and antiquated countertops, and created a fresh and modern room, perfect for functional meal preparation or fashionable entertaining!

We began by replacing the kitchen’s bland, tan countertops with a sleek charcoal Cambria solid-surface. To add more warmth and character to the room, we added a bit of color to the kitchen cabinets, installed contrasting crown molding, and installed new stainless steel appliances.  Next we upped kitchen storage capacity through the addition of much-needed pantry space.  Finally, for a completely polished and posh look, we installed a slate backsplash around the kitchen’s perimeter.  To highlight the new countertops and backsplash, we installed under cabinet lighting – a feature which has the added benefit of providing task lighting for meal preparation.

Overall, this project was a great exercise in giving an outdated kitchen a great makeover, without breaking the bank!  Are you ready to take your kitchen from drab to dazzling?  Check out our kitchen gallery for inspiration and contact us today to get started on remodeling your space!
