For those of you that have Facebook, hopefully, you’ve had a chance to check out our time-lapse video of Plemini Court! If not, view it here. Our time-lapse covers all the work that was performed in just a 1.5-minute video– it’s quite fun to watch! Aside from the overall great new look, we especially love the new leveled island and the updated lighting. The white color scheme makes this space feel so much bigger and welcoming!
But don’t just take our word on how well this job turned out. Look below for the project specifications and extensive before and after pictures!

Day by Day Progress
(Note: We added a few extra days to our normal 7-day process to accommodate the owner-request add-ons)
Here’s how we did it:
Day 1 – Demo Day! On this first day, we set up plastic walls to protect the home from dust, protected the path from the entry door to the kitchen with building paper, and then went to town removing the appliances, countertops, backsplash, plumbing fixtures, out dated light box, and cabinet doors and drawers. We also reinforced the plywood sub-tops with steel straps to support the new quartz counters. Toward the end of the day, we created the template for the new countertops, which take a few days to fabricate off-site.
Day 2 – The electrical team began the wiring for the new can lighting. Eight 6-inch LED recessed light fixtures were placed strategically around the kitchen to optimize the lighting over work spaces. Next, we lowered the countertop at the island to create a large flat countertop surface.
Day 3 – Next, we used metal-stud framing to sheetrock the ceiling at the old lightbox and then hung and taped the sheetrock.
Day 4 & 5 – Since all the walls and the ceilings had been protected, our painters began preparing and priming the cabinets in the kitchen. Using a high-grade, oil-based primer every inch of the kitchen cabinets were caulked, sanded and primed. This is the first (and perhaps most critical) step of creating a durable paint finish. The sheetrock at the countertop was also repaired and made ready for the new tile backsplash. The painters then began refinishing the kitchen cabinets in this Salida home. Two coats of Kelly-Moore Dura-poxy semi-gloss Swiss Coffee paint were applied to the thoroughly sanded and primed cabinets. This same priming and painting process was used on the doors and drawers, which are painted off-site in a climate-controlled paint booth for the highest possible quality.
Day 6 & 7 –The walls and ceiling in the kitchen also received a fresh coat of Kelly-Moore paint. Gallery Gray paint with an Satin finish was applied to the walls in the kitchen while the adjoining dining room was painted in Malibu Beige and the ceiling received a fresh coat of Swiss Coffee.
Day 8 & 9 – The countertop installation team arrived to install the beautiful Blanco Performa Medium Bowl in Metallic Gray and the MSI Iced White quartz countertops with a small radius edge detail. The tile artisans were on site to install the Bedrosians Grace Grigio 4″ x 12″ ceramihttps://www.msisurfaces.com/c tile on the backsplash. The tile was grouted using Laticrete Sterling Silver grout.
Day 10 & 11– Lastly, the kitchenCRATE team installed the homeowner’s appliances. The transformation then hit the home stretch with the installation of the new freshly-painted custom Cimino’s shaker style cabinet door and drawer faces. The final day of the project included an array of “touch-up” items: all outlets and switches were replaced and the entire project was cleaned of all construction debris.
