What we do

Totally Different Vibes

From rustic warmth to sleek modernity, these two kitchen renovations show how personal style transforms a space.
Both kitchens turned out great but in very different styles! Project 1 leaned more toward a cozy, rich, traditional vibe with modern comforts, while Project 2 went all in on minimalist, clean lines with a strong contrast colour palette.

Grey and Wood Kitchen

A Cozy Grey Kitchen with Warm Wood Tones

This renovation began with the bare bones of a kitchen. Cabinet frames were installed, appliances were placed but not yet integrated, and wiring and plumbing were still being sorted. The space was a blank slate, ready for a personality to take shape.

How It Started:

The kitchen layout is being established.
The base and wall cabinets are installed but incomplete, with appliances (dishwasher and integrated fridge) placed without doors or finishing panels. The electrical wiring and layout planning are still in progress.

Transformation Highlights:

  • • Shaker-style cabinets in a soft grey tone introduced a classic, cozy aesthetic.

  • • A butcher block countertop added warmth and texture, playing beautifully against the cooler grey.

  • • A farmhouse-style sink became a central design feature, perfect for both charm and functionality.

  • • A black freestanding island with a matching butcher block top was added for extra prep space and contrast.

  • • Glass-front upper cabinets brought an airy elegance and an opportunity for display.

  • • The finishing touch came with a full-height stone backsplash and subtle under-cabinet lighting, creating an upscale and intimate atmosphere.

What Was Done:

• Wall and base cabinets (grey shaker-style) were installed.

• Integrated appliances fitted (dishwasher, fridge).

• Butcher block countertops were added for a warm, rustic look.

• A freestanding black island with a thick wood top was introduced for more prep space and contrast.

• Upper cabinets include glass-fronts and traditional detailing.

• In the final stage, a stone-style backsplash and under-cabinet lighting were installed, giving the kitchen a luxurious and moody ambiance.

• Lighting fixtures and all detailing were completed.

Style Vibe: Traditional meets modern comfort, with rich textures, moody tones, and high functionality wrapped in a stylish package.

How:

  • • Modular cabinet units were assembled and fixed.

  • • Plumbing was connected for the farmhouse-style sink.

  • • Electrical work was finalized behind cabinets and lighting added.

  • • Countertops were installed and finished with edge trims.

  • • Flooring stayed consistent throughout the renovation to match the warm tone of the wood surfaces.

White and Black Modern Kitchen

A Sleek Modern Kitchen in Monochrome

Though, it’s clear that the transformation involved stripping back to essentials and building something entirely new.
 The finished result is sleek, smart, and highly efficient.

How It Started:

Based on standard renovation sequences, it likely started with demolition of old cabinets and prepping the walls and floors.
The end result clearly reflects a fresh, total overhaul—likely beginning with gutting the old kitchen and prepping for a sleek new build.

What Was Done:

  • • Full installation of modern white flat-panel base cabinets.

  • • Black worktops installed for sharp contrast.

  • • Sleek stainless-steel appliances added (oven, hood).

  • • Black subway tile backsplash with white grout offers a striking focal point and a modern feel.

  • • Wooden-effect vinyl or laminate flooring was added throughout the space.

  • • Laundry area was incorporated at the rear with a matching style (white cabinets, black top).

  • • Ceiling lights and window trims give the space a clean, minimalistic finish.

Transformation Highlights:

  • • Bright white, flat-panel cabinets gave the kitchen a clean and uncluttered look.

  • • Matte black countertops offered a bold contrast, adding modern flair.

  • • A striking black subway tile backsplash with white grout created a stunning visual focal point.

  • • A stainless-steel oven and chimney hood added to the contemporary aesthetic.

  • • The adjacent laundry area was seamlessly styled to match, maintaining cohesion across zones.

  • • Wood-look vinyl or laminate flooring ran throughout, adding warmth and natural texture.
  • White Black Kitchen
  • 02-kitchen-ready

How:

  • • Walls were refinished and likely repainted.

  • • Cabinetry installed from floor up (base units only, no upper cabinets visible).

  • • Plumbing and gas connected for sink and cooktop.

  • • Black backsplash tiled after base units were in place.

  • • Flooring and lighting were done last to tie the look together.

Final Thoughts

  • • Custom frame built to utilize the corner space efficiently.

  • • Top platform used as a raised bed.

  • • Multiple large drawers on runners installed underneath.

  • • Painted and finished with integrated steps and aesthetic rope guards.
