Kitchen
Most homes are traditional, and it seems that one can never go wrong when going with this classic design theme. Click here to see the stark contrast between this refaced kitchen and the original. Surprised that it used to be contemporary? While this kitchen probably pushes the refacing envelope, you can see how dramatic a transformation can be without the entire room’s being rebuilt.
Black and white themes never go out of style and can always look fresh and crisp. Shiny black countertops and a bright white cabinet finish dignify this comfortable kitchen design with refacing. Nothing here is too complicated or fussy. The two pairs of glass panel doors on either side of the microwave oven delicately relieve the long bank of upper cabinets, preventing monotony.
Bar. Two beverage refrigerators provide plenty of room for workout, pool time and rec room beverages. The cabinets hold the cups and glasses and the lower cabinet is a trash and recycling bin pull-out. Cabinets: custom in white Shaker, Highcraft Custom Cabinetry; backsplash tile: Penny Round, Metro Nouvo in Dove Grey, Deco-Tile; countertop: Organic White 4600, Caesarstone
Fireplace. The new fireplace wall includes a quartz fireplace surround and built-ins with bookshelves and cabinets to house the media equipment. It’s the ultimate cozy spot for movie night or for catching some shade after a pool day in the sun. Fireplace surround: Berwyn (quartz), Cambria; built-ins: custom in White Shaker, Highcraft Custom Cabinetry; fireplace: H series direct vent Gas fireplace, H34, Montigo
