Transforming a Dated Kitchen With New Countertops and Backsplash In Folsom, CA.
When it comes to the heart of the home, few spaces are as essential as the kitchen. For the homeowners on Sands Way in Folsom, California, their kitchen was in need of a serious update. The original finishes had served their purpose but no longer matched their aesthetic preferences or functional needs. Enter kitchen & bath CRATE, renowned for turning outdated kitchens into stylish and highly functional spaces. This Folsom kitchen remodel is a shining example of what’s possible when expert craftsmanship meets thoughtful design.
Countertops
A significant highlight of this remodel was the installation of Bedrosians Talavida Quartz countertops. Known for their durability and sophisticated appearance, these countertops were chosen in a polished finish. Key details include:
- Mitered Edge: The heavy-eased mitered edge adds a touch of luxury to the surface, emphasizing the quality of the material.
- Waterfall Feature: The countertop extends seamlessly from the bar top to the counter below, creating a dramatic visual effect.
- Custom Layout: Faucet holes were meticulously placed to ensure functionality without compromising aesthetics.
These countertops not only provide a stunning focal point but also offer a practical workspace for everyday use.
Sink & Faucet
The sink and faucet combination in this remodel exemplifies the perfect blend of style and functionality. The homeowners opted for:
- Blanco Diamond Super Single Bowl Sink: This undermount sink in Truffle provides ample space for washing and prep work, while its composite material ensures durability and easy maintenance.
- Kohler Simplice Faucet: Finished in Vibrant Stainless, this high-arching faucet features a pull-down spray head, making it a versatile addition to the kitchen.
- Soap Dispenser: A matching Kohler transitional soap dispenser in Vibrant Stainless maintains the clean, uncluttered look of the countertops.
These thoughtful choices elevate the everyday tasks of cooking and cleaning.
Fixtures
Fixtures play a significant role in tying the design together, and this remodel included several impactful upgrades:
- Garbage Disposal: The addition of an InSinkErator Badger 5 Compact Disposal ensures the kitchen remains clean and efficient.
- Electrical Outlets: Updated white Decora outlets and switches were installed to complement the new aesthetic.
- Under-Cabinet Lighting: Although under-cabinet lighting wasn’t included, the natural light from the open layout ensures a bright and inviting space.
Tile
The backsplash is a defining feature of this kitchen remodel. The homeowners chose Bedrosians Makoto 2.5×10″ tiles in Soji White Matte for a modern and clean look. Key details include:
- Horizontal Orientation: The tiles were installed in a 1/3 offset staggered pattern, creating a dynamic yet understated design.
- Trim Details: Matching Soji White Matte trim pieces ensure a polished finish.
- Grout Color: TEC Power Grout in Birch was selected for its durability and complementary tone.
This tile selection adds texture and depth to the kitchen while maintaining a neutral palette that allows other design elements to shine.
