Countertops & Backsplash: Sleek Quartz for Elevated Elegance and Clean Matte Perfection
The kitchen countertops feature a luxurious slab of quartz—a material known for its marble-like veining and high durability, perfect for busy families. The backsplash was chosen in a “Picket” pattern for some visual intrigue in a matte white finish to present an elegant and clean look.
-
Countertop Material: Polished Calacatta Milan
- Backsplash: 3″ x 12″ Matte White Tiles in a Vertical Picket Pattern
This surface adds both visual interest and practical functionality, pairing beautifully with the white cabinetry to brighten the space and give it a light, modern feel.
Sinks: Kohler’s Tried-and-True Undermount
The remodel included the installation of a spacious undermount sink designed for seamless integration with the quartz countertops. Pairing this with a new garbage disposal and a sleek new faucet really helped upgrade the functionality of the kitchen.
-
Sink: Kohler Whitehaven 32-3/4″ Undermount Single-Bowl Farmhouse Kitchen Sink in White
- Faucet: Signature Hardware Amberley Single-Hole Pull-Down Spray Kitchen Faucet in Polished Nickel
- Garbage Disposal: InSinkErator 1/2 HP Badger 5 Compact Disposal
This stainless steel workstation sink comes with integrated accessories like a bamboo cutting board and multipurpose grids—giving the kitchen enhanced functionality without compromising style.
Flooring: Durable and Timeless
The flooring throughout the kitchen was upgraded to match the existing wood from adjacent rooms. However, the mud room got a brand new look with an intriguing pattern to level-up the aesthetic.
-
Mud Room Flooring Material: Montana 2-1/4″ x 10″ Brick Field Tile in Matte in a Double-Stacked Straight-Set Herringbone Pattern
-
Grout Color: Laticrete 57 in Hot Cocoa
The matte finish and warm wood tones anchor the room and provide a timeless foundation that complements both the cabinetry and quartz surfaces.
Paint: A Refined Palette
Color played a crucial role in bringing this Modesto kitchen remodel to life. The selected Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams tones enhance the room allowing the finishes to shine while also being a prominent feature.

Cabinet Paint (Lowers and Island): Benjamin Moore 1545 Iron Gate in Eggshell

- Wall Paint: Sherwin-Williams SW7551 Greek Villa in Eggshell
- Ceiling, Baseboard, and Trim Paint: Sherwin-Williams SW7551 Greek Villa in Semi-Gloss
This varied palette keeps the space airy and open while adding some dark, earthy contrast to make this space truly custom and unique.
