North Columbus Kitchen Transformation

Brightening Up a North Columbus Kitchen: A Custom Cabinet Refacing Journey

Introduction

When it comes to home renovations, the heart of the house often takes center stage: the kitchen. Our recent project with a North Columbus homeowner exemplifies how thoughtful design and custom features can transform a dated kitchen into a functional and aesthetically pleasing space.

Client’s Vision

Our client approached us with a clear vision: she wanted to brighten up her kitchen, maximize storage solutions, and enhance the island’s functionality. As a family that spends a significant amount of time in the kitchen, they desired a space that seamlessly blended style and practicality.

The Challenges

The existing kitchen had good bones, but it lacked the vibrancy and efficiency our client desired. The cabinets were worn, and the layout needed optimization. Our team at Kitchen Tune-Up Columbus was up for the challenge!

Custom Features

1. Cabinet Refacing (Also Known as Cabinet Resurfacing)

Our first step was to address the cabinets. Instead of a complete overhaul, we opted for cabinet refacing. This process involves replacing all doors and drawer fronts while retaining the original cabinet boxes. Soft-close hinges and drawer glides were added for a touch of modern convenience. The color transformation was remarkable: from tired and outdated to fresh and inviting.

2. Extending the Island

The existing island was functional but lacked sufficient workspace. We extended it to create a larger surface area, perfect for meal prep, casual dining, and entertaining. The new island became a focal point, combining form and function seamlessly.

3. Shaker Door Style

For the perimeter cabinets, our client chose the timeless shaker door style in a soft floral white. This classic choice brightened up the entire kitchen and provided a clean canvas for further design elements.

4. Island Cabinets in Wild Mushroom

To add depth and contrast, we selected wild mushroom for the island cabinets. The warm, earthy tone complemented the overall color scheme while making the island stand out as a distinct feature.

5. Crown Molding

For a touch of elegance, we installed crown molding at the top of the cabinets. This subtle detail elevated the kitchen’s aesthetic and tied the design together beautifully.

6. Functional Upgrades

• Pull-Out Trash Can: We reconfigured one of the island cabinets to house a pull-out trash can. No more unsightly bins cluttering the kitchen!
• Bank of Drawers: Another island cabinet was replaced with a bank of drawers. These drawers provided additional storage for utensils, linens, and other essentials.

7. New Pantry

Where a hutch once stood, we designed and installed a new pantry. The pantry offered ample storage for dry goods, small appliances, and pantry staples.

Conclusion

The transformation was remarkable. Our client’s kitchen now radiates warmth, functionality, and style. Kitchen Tune-Up Columbus takes pride in creating custom spaces that reflect our clients’ unique needs and preferences. If you’re considering a kitchen remodel, think beyond the ordinary—think custom!
