# [Kitchen Reveal: Breckenridge Cabinet Style in Antique White](https://blog.kitchenmagic.com/blog/kitchen-reveal-breckenridge-cabinet-style-in-antique-white)

What do you get when you pair a great kitchen design with cabinet refacing? A kitchen that is completely transformed without any of the mess, fuss and chaos inherent in a full kitchen remodel.

In this Kitchen Reveal we're showcasing a recent kitchen re-facelift (pun intended!) that demonstrates what a striking difference refaced cabinetry can make.

This kitchen lives in a beautiful home, located in historic Cranbury, [New Jersey](https://www.kitchenmagic.com/new-jersey). It's a quiet, upscale town with century-old homes and elm tree lined streets, making you feel as if you've stepped back in time.

Now, this home boasts a timeless kitchen design that recreates that same charm, embracing gentle complements rather than abrupt contrasts.

 

### The Original Design

 

Originally designed in the 90s, homeowners went with the current motif of the time - deeply contrasting cabinetry and countertops. Now, however, most homeowners prefer a more blended approach, choosing to create contrasts using more transient kitchen accessories and less permanent accents.

 

### The New Design & Color

These homeowners decided to create a white-on-white color palette by pairing our most popular, Breckenridge cabinet style in Antique White. Their existing backsplash was a lovely mosaic pattern, created using small, rectangular tiles in a subway-esque layout. Notice how every shade of white and off-white are represented? This provides expanded opportunity to [update wall colors](https://blog.kitchenmagic.com/blog/choosing-your-kitchen-wall-color-so-it-coordinates-with-your-cabinets) in the future using a range of soft, complementary shades.

 

 

While the current Corian countertop was nice, it didn't have [the same pizzazz as the quartz](https://www.kitchenmagic.com/kitchen-countertops/quartz). And, since they were saving a fair amount of money by refacing their cabinets the couple had extra money in the budget to replace the countertops.

 

 

 

 

### Countertops

They chose gorgeous Cambria Quartz countertops in Windermere. The countertops have a bit of shimmer, without being too overstated, and the effect is rich and luxurious.

 

 

An added bonus: quartz countertops are one of the most durable countertop options on the market and, because they're non-porous, they are practically impervious to staining and etching. Observe how shade variations in the countertops accentuate the backsplash, creating a harmonious echo.
