All great kitchens can be traced back to the design phase of the project. Designing your kitchen requires not only deciding on decor and colors but also creating a space plan and choosing products that will allow your kitchen to function the way that best suits you. Answering these questions will help us to determine your needs, and to consider possibilities you might not have realized. Having this information will help us to understand your needs quickly.
Believe it or not 20 years ago this dark brown was the "in" color. Even with adding a brick back splash and new granite it still didn't give you the customer that newly remodeled and updated look they were looking for. Notice the china cabinet to the left. A wall was taken out and cut down to a half wall. The china cabinet was added to the end of the wall. We removed the doors and brought back to our shop to paint and glaze. The cabinets were finished onsite. The island back panels were covered over with a bead board material that had also been painted and glazed.
Although the color remained the same, refacing and adding new Craftsman style doors and crown molding really upgraded this kitchen look. The old kitchen had flat panel doors and drawer fronts and no crown molding. The design was good but just needed updating, so the decision was to reface. We refaced this kitchen with rustic cherry. Notice how much adding new crown molding makes. The peninsula had new craftsman style back panels and furniture ends added. We refaced the kitchen in knotty alder with a stain and walnut glaze.
