This 1997 home received a thoughtful kitchen and main-level refresh designed to bring in more light, improve functionality, and create finishes that will age beautifully with a growing young family. The kitchen was completely reimagined with custom cabinetry, updated lighting, and a layout that supports both everyday living and efficient meal prep.
Lighter finishes were intentionally selected to achieve the homeowners’ goal of a brighter, more welcoming space. New quartz countertops offer durability and a clean, timeless look, while layered lighting enhances task areas and the overall ambiance throughout the kitchen.
Main-level hardwood floors were refinished to a lighter tone, and new wood flooring was expertly laced in to extend and match the existing floors into the dining area, creating a seamless, cohesive flow across the space. The result is a refreshed main level that feels open, cohesive, and designed to support this family for years to come.

The pantry was also transformed from basic wire shelving into a functional extension of the kitchen, featuring custom cabinetry and shelving that supports additional storage and prep space. The result is a refreshed main level that feels open, cohesive, and designed to support this family for years to come.

A great way to use smaller or inconvenient areas in the kitchen is to create cabinetry that is accessible but functional for storage.
