Customer Request:
The homeowner requested an update to their kitchen cabinets to enhance the aesthetic appeal and functionality while retaining the home's authentic mid-century modern style.
Contractor Notes:
The cabinets were structurally sound, allowing for refinishing instead of full replacement. We used a durable, high-quality lacquer finish in a soft white tone to brighten the kitchen and added new minimalist brass hardware to emphasize the mid-century theme.
Designer Notes:
The goal was to modernize while preserving mid-century charm. Choosing a neutral color palette and elegant brass pulls created a clean, contemporary feel that aligned perfectly with the home’s era-specific architecture.
Realtor Notes:
Updating cabinets significantly enhances kitchen appeal and home valuation. Given the desirable location and style consistency, this relatively minor update considerably boosted the property's marketability.
Description of Project:
We refinished the existing cabinets in a fresh white lacquer, complemented by new sleek brass handles that honor the home's mid-century heritage. This subtle yet impactful update significantly brightened and modernized the kitchen, creating an inviting space for both daily use and entertaining. The project resulted in a visually appealing kitchen with improved functionality, adding substantial resale value.
