We are very excited to share this project with you! As you probably know, Reborn Cabinets constantly strives to manufacture the best kitchen and bathroom cabinets and Signature Refacing products! But above and beyond that, our real focus is to provide “The Ultimate Remodeling Experience!” In-line with this vision, we partnered with Wellborn Cabinets a little over a year ago, and we are thrilled with the quality and variety that Wellborn has opened-up for our clients!
This kitchen began with cabinets that were over 30 years old, and that had been painted over many, many times. While Reborn Cabinets can reface most cabinets surfaces, sometimes the cabinetry is just too old to reface and achieve the look our client is looking for and deserves. This is a perfect opportunity for our Reborn Designers to introduce our clients to Wellborn!
The Wellborn family has owned and operated Wellborn Cabinet, Inc. since 1961. Their goal is to provide kitchen and bath cabinets crafted by dedicated Wellborn employees with the utmost quality and care…see? It’s a great culture fit for Reborn Cabinets, and a reliable product to offer our clients who are interested in replacing their cabinets, while keeping their existing layout!
As you can see, new cabinets (maple with a sienna finish), new counters (Stilestone quartz, Lena color), and a new sink (Blanco) is a dramatic change!

Kelli envisioned a master bathroom that blended simplicity and elegance, desiring a serene yet functional area. Her project centered on upgrading the shower significantly, all while preserving the existing elements of the space.
This straightforward project was all about enhancing functionality without compromising on style, focusing on a major shower upgrade while retaining the bathroom's existing features.
A complete overhaul of the shower area was at the heart of the remodel, with the existing shower stripped down to the studs to create a custom space that embodies both luxury and practicality.
Unique tiling in Themar Venato Gold distinguished the shower walls. A stylish yet practical corner bench, completed with Schluter Jolly Brushed Nickel edges, enhanced the space.
A long, recessed wall niche was framed to match the window width above. This niche was distinctively tiled to echo the flooring in Festival White herringbone mosaic, adding a touch of cohesive design.
Attention to detail continued with the installation of new Delta shower system. The final touch was a sliding glass door in a barn door style, featuring operable panels, clear glass, and a matching brushed nickel finish.
Kelli's vision came to life with the completion of the master bathroom, merging simplicity, functionality, and elegance into a serene retreat that fits her lifestyle and reflects thoughtful design.

7RR-Ecohome:
The design objective was to build a house for a couple recently married who both had kids from previous marriages. How to bridge two families together?
The design looks forward in terms of how people live today. The home is an experiment in transparency and solid form; removing borders and edges from outside to inside the house, and to really depict “flowing and endless space”. The house floor plan is derived by pushing and pulling the house’s form to maximize the backyard and minimize the public front yard while welcoming the sun in key rooms by rotating the house 45-degrees to true north. The angular form of the house is a result of the family’s program, the zoning rules, the lot’s attributes, and the sun’s path. We wanted to construct a house that is smart and efficient in terms of construction and energy, both in terms of the building and the user. We could tell a story of how the house is built in terms of the constructability, structure and enclosure, with a nod to Japanese wood construction in the method in which the siding is installed and the exposed interior beams are placed in the double height space. We engineered the house to be smart which not only looks modern but acts modern; every aspect of user control is simplified to a digital touch button, whether lights, shades, blinds, HVAC, communication, audio, video, or security. We developed a planning module based on a 6-foot square room size and a 6-foot wide connector called an interstitial space for hallways, bathrooms, stairs and mechanical, which keeps the rooms pure and uncluttered. The house is 6,200 SF of livable space, plus garage and basement gallery for a total of 9,200 SF. A large formal foyer celebrates the entry and opens up to the living, dining, kitchen and family rooms all focused on the rear garden. The east side of the second floor is the Master wing and a center bridge connects it to the kid’s wing on the west. Second floor terraces and sunscreens provide views and shade in this suburban setting. The playful mathematical grid of the house in the x, y and z axis also extends into the layout of the trees and hard-scapes, all centered on a suburban one-acre lot.
Many green attributes were designed into the home; Ipe wood sunscreens and window shades block out unwanted solar gain in summer, but allow winter sun in. Patio door and operable windows provide ample opportunity for natural ventilation throughout the open floor plan. Minimal windows on east and west sides to reduce heat loss in winter and unwanted gains in summer. Open floor plan and large window expanse reduces lighting demands and maximizes available daylight. Skylights provide natural light to the basement rooms. Durable, low-maintenance exterior materials include stone, ipe wood siding and decking, and concrete roof pavers. Design is based on a 2' planning grid to minimize construction waste. Basement foundation walls and slab are highly insulated. FSC-certified walnut wood flooring was used. Light colored concrete roof pavers to reduce cooling loads by as much as 15%. 2x6 framing allows for more insulation and energy savings. Super efficient windows have low-E argon gas filled units, and thermally insulated aluminum frames. Permeable brick and stone pavers reduce the site’s storm-water runoff. Countertops use recycled composite materials. Energy-Star rated furnaces and smart thermostats are located throughout the house to minimize duct runs and avoid energy loss. Energy-Star rated boiler that heats up both radiant floors and domestic hot water. Low-flow toilets and plumbing fixtures are used to conserve water usage. No VOC finish options and direct venting fireplaces maintain a high interior air quality. Smart home system controls lighting, HVAC, and shades to better manage energy use. Plumbing runs through interior walls reducing possibilities of heat loss and freezing problems. A large food pantry was placed next to kitchen to reduce trips to the grocery store. Home office reduces need for automobile transit and associated CO2 footprint. Plan allows for aging in place, with guest suite than can become the master suite, with no need to move as family members mature.

Our number one focus is customer service and we believe in putting the customer’s needs first. We offer our clients an additional 2 year warranty on top of the manufacturer’s warranty and want each and every client to be completely happy with their purchase. We’ve been awarded the prestigious 2014 Angie’s List Super Service Award, an honor bestowed annually on approximately 5 percent of all the businesses rated on the nation’s leading provider of consumer reviews. We’ve grown over the years and have added more team members to our company and we’re very excited at the direction our company is going.
