kitchenCRATE Eastridge Circle: The Ultimate Modesto Kitchen Remodel
The kitchen is the heart of the home, a place where families gather, meals are created, and memories are made. But when a kitchen is outdated, it can be anything but inviting. Such was the case for these homeowners at kitchenCRATE Eastridge Circle in Modesto, CA, who were ready for an extensive kitchen “refresh. Enter kitchen & bath CRATE and our efficient, high-quality approach to remodeling. In this Modesto kitchen remodel, we took an old, tired space and turned it into a functional, stunningly beautiful kitchen that perfectly suits modern living.
Let’s break down the major elements of this remodel, from cabinet faces and countertops to sinks, appliances, fixtures, tile, and paint, to see how we brought new life to this essential space.
Cabinets
These Modesto homeowners’ old cabinets, while functional, were dated and lacked the modern features today’s homeowners crave. For this Modesto kitchen remodel, we installed classic Shaker-style cabinet doors and drawer faces over the existing cabinet “boxes,” complete with a 45-degree inside bevel for a touch of contemporary elegance. The perimeter cabinets were painted in SW 7675 Sealskin, a rich, dark hue that grounds the design, while the island cabinets were given a contrasting light tone with SW 7549 Studio Taupe.
The cabinetry was retrofitted with Euro soft-close hinges by Blum, ensuring smooth and quiet operation every time. To elevate the look even further, we chose Amerock Westerley 3 3/4″ cabinet pulls in oil-rubbed bronze for the perimeter cabinets and champagne bronze for the island. These hardware choices add a cohesive yet sophisticated flair to the entire kitchen.
Plumbing Fixtures
A modern kitchen demands a high-quality sink, and we delivered by installing a Ruvati Roma 30″ undermount double bowl sink in stainless steel. This sink is designed to handle everything from meal prep to cleanup with ease, offering ample space for washing large pots and pans. The undermount installation keeps the countertops looking clean and seamless.
Paired with the sink is a Delta Trinsic faucet in champagne bronze, which not only adds a touch of warmth to the space but also delivers exceptional functionality. We also included a matching Delta Trinsic soap dispenser for added convenience, and the InSinkErator 3/4 HP Badger 5XP garbage disposal ensures waste management is efficient and hassle-free.
Appliances
Outdated appliances can hinder the functionality of any kitchen. For this Modesto kitchen remodel, we replaced the old appliances with owner-supplied high-performance options. The new JennAir 36″ downdraft gas cooktop offers powerful heat control and a sleek design, while the JennAir 30″ double wall oven provides the flexibility needed for everything from daily meals to holiday feasts.
The homeowners also upgraded to a JennAir French door refrigerator, which boasts ample storage and innovative features to keep food fresh longer. These appliance updates, combined with a new gas line installation, transformed the kitchen into a modern chef’s dream.
Light Fixtures
Fixtures are the details that pull a kitchen design together, and this remodel is no exception. We chose soft white LED recessed lighting to brighten the space without creating harsh shadows, ensuring the kitchen is well-lit for any occasion. Additionally, the kitchen features under-cabinet outlets and sleek white Decora switches for a clean, modern look.
The combination of oil-rubbed bronze and champagne bronze hardware and fixtures throughout the space creates a cohesive design that feels both elegant and inviting. From the faucet to the cabinet pulls, every detail was carefully selected to enhance the overall aesthetic.
Tile
The backsplash in this Modesto kitchen remodel adds just the right amount of visual interest. We used Bedrosians Celine White Gloss 2″ x 6″ subway tiles, set horizontally with a straight pattern, to create a classic yet modern look. The backsplash extends to the bottom of the soffit around the windows, adding continuity and brightness to the space.
We used TEC Power Grout in Sterling for the grout lines, which are a subtle but important detail that ties the backsplash into the rest of the kitchen. The backsplash is finished with 1/2″ x 8″ Jolly trim pieces, providing a polished and professional appearance.
Paint
To complete the transformation, we refreshed the kitchen with a cohesive paint palette. The walls and ceiling were painted in SW 7551 Greek Villa, a soft, neutral color that brightens the space and makes it feel open and inviting. The trim and window sills were also painted in Greek Villa to maintain a consistent, clean look.
The combination of dark and light cabinetry, paired with the neutral walls, creates a balanced design that feels modern yet timeless. The paint selections enhance the overall flow of the kitchen, making it a space the homeowners will enjoy for years to come.
Countertops
Countertops can make or break a kitchen’s aesthetic and functionality. For this remodel, we chose two stunning quartz options. The perimeter countertops feature Bedrosians Pietra Grey Quartz, a polished material that adds a touch of luxury while being incredibly durable and easy to maintain. For the island, we selected Bedrosians Magnifica Encore Calacatta Macchia Vecchia Quartz, which showcases a striking pattern and serves as a show-stopping focal point in the center of the kitchen.
The countertops were finished with a mitered eased edge, giving a clean and contemporary look. With the combination of these two elegant quartz surfaces, the kitchen feels cohesive yet visually interesting.
