Modesto Kitchen Remodel | Elegance Meets Function
The kitchen is the heart of the home, where families gather and meals are created. For the homeowners on Vondel Circle in Modesto, their kitchen was in dire need of an update. The existing 1990 space, while functional, lacked modern design elements and efficient use of space. Kitchen & bath CRATE stepped in to bring this kitchen into the 21st century, creating a bright, elegant, and highly functional space.
This Modesto kitchen remodel focused on cabinets, countertops, sinks, appliances, fixtures, tile, and paint, each carefully selected to enhance the overall aesthetic and usability of the space. Let’s explore how this transformation took place.
Countertops
The countertops were upgraded to Bedrosians Delicatto Carrara Quartz, offering a polished, luxurious look. Features of the new countertops include:
- 2 cm Thickness: Providing a sleek, modern profile.
- 2-Inch Mitered Edge: Adding a substantial and luxurious appearance.
- Eased Edge Design: Ensuring a smooth, comfortable surface.
- Garden-Style Window Sill Matching Countertops: Extending the quartz into the window sill area for a seamless transition.
These bright, polished surfaces enhance the kitchen’s natural light while offering durability that withstands everyday use.
Sink & Faucet
The kitchen sink area was completely revitalized with high-quality, modern fixtures. Key upgrades include:
- Blanco Diamond Super Single Bowl Sink in White: A deep, spacious sink perfect for food prep and cleaning.
- Delta Trinsic Faucet in Champagne Bronze: A sleek, contemporary faucet that enhances both functionality and style.
- Delta Trinsic Soap Dispenser in Champagne Bronze: Complementing the faucet for a cohesive look.
- InSinkErator Badger 5 Compact Disposal: Offering powerful and reliable waste disposal.
These updates not only modernized the kitchen but also made it significantly more user-friendly.
Appliances, Fixtures, & Lighting
While some existing appliances were reused, key upgrades included:
- GE Monogram Wall Oven and Microwave Combo: A premium appliance that improves cooking efficiency.
- JennAir Downdraft Cooktop: A sleek, high-performance cooktop with built-in ventilation.
- Custom Cabinet Modifications: Ensuring a perfect fit for the new appliances while maintaining a seamless look.
In addition to this, the right fixtures and lighting can transform a space, and this remodel didn’t disappoint. Enhancements included:
- Seven New LED Wafer Lights: Installed throughout the kitchen to provide bright, even lighting.
- Daylight Glow (4000K) Lighting: Used both in recessed lights and under-cabinet lighting for a warm yet modern ambiance.
- White Decora Outlets and Switches: Creating a clean, updated look that blends seamlessly into the space.
These updates significantly improved the kitchen’s functionality and aesthetics, making it a more inviting space to cook and entertain.
Tile & Flooring
Tile and flooring choices played a key role in this Modesto kitchen remodel, adding texture and warmth. Selections included:
- Backsplash: Bedrosians Marin 2.5” x 10” tiles in Aloe Green laid in a horizontal 1/2 offset pattern.
- Backsplash Termination: Bedrosians Jolly Gloss Aloe Green trim for a polished, professional finish.
- Floor Tile: Bedrosians Highland in Greige (12×24” planks), arranged in a 1/3 offset staggered pattern for a modern feel.
- TEC Power Grout in Bright White and Mist: Ensuring durability and a clean, seamless look.
The natural hues and soft textures of these selections enhance the kitchen’s contemporary yet inviting design.
Paint
To complete the transformation, a fresh coat of paint was applied throughout the kitchen:
