I have been working on a kitchen redesign for the past several weeks. The kitchen is spacious and has a good functional layout. Since the cabinetry is also in good shape, we decided to add new architectural details and then paint the cabinets instead of replacing them. Included are some pictures of the kitchen prior to starting the remodel and some of what it looks like currently in mid project.
 |
| Dated oak cabinetry with limited architectural details |
 |
| Space around refrigerator doesn't look custom designed |
 |
| Gray tile floors are cold and dark feeling |
 |
| White tiled counter top is bland and dated |
This project is not yet completed, but I wanted to show you the changes that have already taken place to this redesigned kitchen. Architectural molding has been added to the upper and lower cabinets, then painted and glazed, new granite counter tops were installed and hardwood flooring replaces the gray tile.
 |
| Crown molding added to the top cabinets and molding is added to the island and end of upper and lower cabinetry |
 |
| Molding added to the sides of the upper and lower cabinets, then painted white and finished with a taupe colored glaze. The glaze settles into the molding details allowing them to stand out. |
 |
| Another angle to see the moldings added to sides, tops and bottoms of cabinetry |
 |
| The black pearl granite adds a striking contrast to the white glazed cabinetry |
 |
| An overall view of the crown molding built up on upper cabinets for a dramatic affect |
 |
| The floors are now warm and inviting |
The next steps for the cabinets are to finish glazing the cabinet boxes, hang the newly painted and glazed doors, add feet to the bottom cabinets and some additional base molding. A decorative marble tile back splash will be added and the walls painted. Please check back for updates to this design project.
