Proof that a better home is possible! We had the existing cabinets painted white and changed the hardware to a modern, clear acrylic. These changes were a major, but manageable upgrade. The bright and airy style pushed this home straight into a new decade, but its function was really still stuck in the past. To fix that, we redesigned the island to have a larger work space and added seating. We then removed the bar cabinet/wine rack, and replaced it with a closed glass door cabinet. Quartz counters were installed, along with new appliances and light fixtures. We are thrilled with the results! When you take all- new cabinets off the table, you can easily cut the labor and materials cost of a kitchen in half.
