Darker cabinets and classic traditional style bring this 80s colonial kitchen in line with the rest of the home, with every inch of storage maximized.
We're kicking off 2026 with what our team does best: a stunning kitchen transformation! Our fabulous designer, Carly, collaborated with these clients on their 80s era colonial in Apple Valley. With raised-panel cabinets and a two-tiered peninsula, this kitchen was ready for a style update. After remodeling other parts of their home, these owners wanted the kitchen to match the rest of their home, with darker cabinets and a classic, traditional style.
Carly's top challenge during this project was maintaining the kitchen's original square footage/footprint while maximizing every inch of usable storage. The result? A gorgeous space with refined style, modern technology, and a streamlined but efficient layout. Her favorite feature is the stunning full-height backsplash and tops in Cambria Quartz Luxury Skara Brae design - it makes a huge design impression! Carly also adored working with these clients; she's helped two generations of this family with their homes, and they are always a delight. Ready to see more of this traditional kitchen remodel?
