These homeowners were undergoing a style transformation and wanted to update the colors and finishes in their home to create a more contemporary feel, but also needed to complete the updates in phases due to budget considerations. This kitchen refresh was the first step on that journey.

Client Needs:
1) Maintain existing flooring that ran throughout the home
2) Make the kitchen feel more open by using lighter colors for the walls and cabinetry
3) Create contrast between the cabinets and flooring
4) Drop the raised eating bar to counter height
5) Update lighting, appliances and finishes

All of the above goals were achieved by making strategic decisions about what updates to make with this phase of the remodel vs. updates that could be done later (such as a custom glass tile backsplash that will add a varied texture to the sleek space, or updates to the flooring throughout the home). This stunning transformation shows what is possible even with the sometimes difficult obstacle of remodeling on a budget.
