We started by tearing out the counters and backsplash and replaced them with gorgeous quartz running from the counter up the backsplash. We replaced the builder-provided hood with a gorgeous soft wood tone vent hood cover. The dramatic gold cabinet hardware act as jewelry for the standard cabinetry. Builder light fixtures were quickly replaced with bold statement lighting. We added a home desk space for the family computer accented with teal grasscloth wallpaper and custom beam shelves. These cabinets were painted a different color to set the space apart and topped with a butcher block top. The butler's pantry area was redesigned as a small wine bar with agate penny tile and custom glass and gold powder-coated iron shelving.
