Kitchen remodel
Grey shaker kitchen with quartz and glass mosaic
Dated oak units and a laminate peninsula replaced with grey shaker cabinetry, speckled quartz and a linear glass mosaic backsplash.
This kitchen was taken back to the studs. The old wall units came off, the tired tile floor came up, and the plumbing and electrics were reset before any new cabinetry arrived, which is the only way to get a run of units to sit straight against an older wall.
The replacement is maple shaker, full overlay, in a warm natural finish, with long brushed pulls that suit the horizontal lines of the drawer bank. Rather than break the wall with a separate backsplash material, the granite runs from the countertop right up to the wall cabinets, so the stone reads as one continuous surface behind the sink and the range.
Under-cabinet lighting washes down across the granite and picks up the movement in it, and a wood-look tile floor carries the warmth through at ground level. Stainless appliances keep the working end of the kitchen practical.
