Real results from real homeowners
A Kitchen Transformation Near La Selva Beach
One of our favorite kitchen remodeling projects took place near La Selva Beach, just off San Andres Rd. The homeowners had a small, outdated kitchen with limited storage and poor lighting. They wanted a brighter, more open space where they could cook together and host family gatherings.
Their Goals
- Add more counter space
- Replace old cabinets with custom white shakers
- Improve lighting with recessed and under-cabinet LEDs
- Install a modern tile backsplash
- Create a more open layout by removing a dividing wall
Our Solution
We removed a dividing wall to open the kitchen to the living area, installed custom white shaker cabinets, added quartz countertops, and upgraded the lighting with recessed fixtures and under-cabinet LEDs. A new tile backsplash brought the whole design together.
The Results
The homeowners were thrilled. Their kitchen became brighter, more spacious, and much easier to use. The open layout made the home feel larger, and the new finishes gave it a clean, modern look that fit perfectly with the coastal feel of the area.
