Kitchen of the Month Winner for New Cabinets for March
Kitchen Transformation
This homeowner was ready to say goodbye to what they called the “art gallery tunnel” — the long hallway you had to pass through just to reach the kitchen and living room. Their goal was to open up the space and create a larger, more functional kitchen with a full remodel.
To start the transformation, we removed the hallway completely, expanding the kitchen and creating a much more open flow. We also squared off and widened the archway entrances, helping the kitchen connect seamlessly with the surrounding living spaces.
Before construction began, we carefully de-installed the existing LVP flooring and leveled the entire floor. The flooring had previously been installed over multiple layers of older flooring, which left the surface uneven. Once the remodel was complete, we reinstalled the LVP throughout the home — except for the master bedroom, which received new carpet. This approach also allowed us to reuse the flooring in the newly expanded kitchen areas. 
The new kitchen design features beautiful perimeter cabinetry that extends around the corner into the dining area, where we created a dedicated appliance wall. A standout feature is the 48-inch-wide appliance garage cabinet, which we customized with floating shelves for both style and functionality. At the center of the space, we installed a large island designed to maximize the slab size and create the perfect gathering place.
In the pantry, we built custom wood shelving and installed a new door featuring a customer-supplied stained glass window — a unique and personal touch. We also updated all the lighting in the kitchen, living room, and bathroom to complement the new layout, adding recessed task lighting and pendant fixtures.
To complete the transformation, we installed elegant 7-inch crown molding along the high ceilings in the entryway, kitchen, and living room — adding a beautiful finishing detail to the newly opened space.
The result is a bright, spacious home with a kitchen designed for both everyday living and entertaining.
