This Redmond home underwent a stunning kitchen transformation, turning a dated and closed-off space into an open-concept culinary haven.
Once the structure was prepped, our team installed custom navy-blue cabinetry, adding a bold yet timeless touch. The oversized island became the heart of the kitchen, featuring a luxurious quartz countertop with ample workspace and storage. Sleek stainless-steel appliances complemented the modern aesthetic, while the new lighting arrangement, including pendant lights over the island, enhanced both functionality and style.
The flooring was replaced with warm, natural wood tones to add contrast and bring a sense of balance to the space. The backsplash, a clean and sophisticated marble-look quartz, tied the entire design together, providing both elegance and durability.
The result is a bright, contemporary kitchen that seamlessly blends practicality with high-end design. The transformation not only elevated the home’s value but also created a welcoming space for cooking, entertaining, and everyday living. This project showcases the power of expert craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and premium materials in achieving a dream kitchen remodel in Redmond.

This painted shaker kitchen combines clever layout choices with homely design features for a truly standout space in Thrapston.
Located in Thrapston, this kitchen was a full project from start to finish – one that we’re all really proud of. Built around Crown Imperial’s new Verona range in Grey Aqua, it’s a fresh, soft blue-green colour that works beautifully in this newly opened-up space.
Taking inspiration from our own showroom, this kitchen includes two favourite features – a cosy bench seat and a split level island. The raised platform helps define the kitchen area without closing anything off, keeping the layout open but well-zoned. It’s practical and looks fantastic.
The bench seat adds character and connection to the entrance space. It’s a perfect place to sit with a coffee, put on your shoes, or just enjoy the view. It’s one of the first things you see as you enter the room, giving an instant sense of warmth and welcome.
This was a complete installation. We removed non-supporting walls to open up the space, then carried out all electrical, plumbing, and plastering work, along with new flooring to bring the whole room together. Our team carefully planned and completed every part.
With its soft colour palette, zoned layout and thoughtful features, this kitchen manages to be both open and grounded. It’s a true showstopper – stylish, comfortable, and made to suit this family's lifestyle.

Bonnie wanted to refresh her kitchen by keeping what she loved and upgrading what no longer worked, blending subtle luxury with practicality, all without changing the existing layout.
The original cabinets and flooring were kept, but the kitchen was elevated with several smart updates. Soft-close hidden hinges were added to the cabinet doors, and new brushed satin nickel pulls from TopKnobs brought a clean, modern look.
Countertops were replaced with Arizona Tile’s Della Terra Quartz in the Ripieno Honed finish. Two waterfall ends and a backsplash wrapping into the window sides created a sleek, seamless look.
A Kraus Turino sink and Delta Emmeline faucet were installed, along with a matching soap dispenser. Under-sink plumbing was also updated for proper function.
To improve lighting and airflow, a new ceiling fan with silver blades and six LED bulbs was installed. Additionally, eight electrical devices were updated with white Decora-style outlets and switches for a more contemporary look.
Bonnie also opted to install a new 30” GE electric cooktop with knob controls in stainless steel, placed right where the original was while keeping the wall mirror intact behind it.

The Murray small kitchen remodel demonstrated the immense potential of a small kitchen makeover. We started by stripping everything to the studs, enabling us to redesign the layout and make adjustments to the kitchen's overall flow.
In the design layout, we closed off a doorway to allow more wall space for additional full custom cabinetry and appliances, enhancing the kitchen's functionality. We extended the counters and repositioned the refrigerator to improve the workspace and flow.
The new island, highlighted with pendant lighting and set on stylish hardwood flooring, became the focal point, providing extra counter space and a gathering spot. Additional features like under-cabinet lighting, a touch-activated faucet, and a custom hood boosted the kitchen's overall appeal and practicality.
Modern elements like the integrated speed oven in the island cabinetry, and the new hardwood flooring throughout, completed the transformation. The Murray kitchen remodel project successfully combined style and function, transforming a modest kitchen into a warm, inviting, and efficient space.
