Not every white bathroom or kitchen spells success. Take the kitchen of Mr. and Mrs. Paul B. from Holmdel, NJ, for example. Their all-white setup—complete with white laminate doors, white handles, and a white slab countertop—left the space feeling bland and devoid of character. Even one of the cabinet doors stubbornly refused to stay shut. In search of a transformation, the couple turned to Kitchen Magic design contractors for a much-needed revamp.
The Transformation Process
To infuse some life into their kitchen, the decision was made to reface the existing cabinets rather than replace them. The new design featured raised panel doors in a warm Cherry Harvest gold finish. Not only did this change add visual interest, but it also strengthened the structure of the cabinets. The renovation included the installation of new drawer boxes, modern drawer slides, and updated hinges to ensure functionality matched the new aesthetic.
A particularly clever adaptation involved the cabinet with the faulty door, which was converted into an all-drawer unit. This modification made it easier to organize and access cooking utensils. Additionally, a mullioned glass door was installed in a corner cabinet, creating an elegant display area for the couple's fine china.
A Striking New Countertop
Replacing the uninspiring white countertop was crucial in this transformation. The choice of a Baltic Brown granite countertop with a beveled edge introduced a dramatic and luxurious element to the kitchen. This new surface not only complemented the rich tones of the cabinet doors but also became a standout feature of the space.
The Final Reveal
The renovation resulted in a kitchen that not only functions better but also stands out as a centerpiece of the home. It now harmonizes beautifully with the existing mural on the soffit, enhancing the overall ambiance. This revamped kitchen is now perfectly suited for both everyday use and entertaining, proving that with the right changes, any space can go from outdated to outstanding.
