A Stunning Modesto Kitchen Remodel: Function Meets Elegance

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.

The Challenge: An Outdated Kitchen in Need of a Makeover

Before the remodel, the kitchen featured solid red oak cabinetry, outdated countertops, and inefficient lighting. The homeowners wanted to modernize the space while maintaining warmth and practicality. The goals were clear:

✔️ Upgrade the cabinetry for improved storage and style.
✔️ Refresh the countertops for durability and elegance.
✔️ Replace the sink, appliances, and fixtures for better functionality.
✔️ Update the backsplash and flooring for a cohesive, polished look.

With these priorities in mind, kitchen & bath CRATE developed a custom remodel plan to breathe new life into the space.

Cabinets: Maximizing Storage and Style

Cabinetry plays a crucial role in defining a kitchen’s look and feel. The remodel featured Shaker-style door faces with a 45-degree inside bevel, bringing a timeless and sophisticated touch to the space. Key upgrades included:

Soft-Close Hinges: Euro-style Blum hinges were installed for smooth, silent operation.
Golden Champagne Cabinet Pulls: Amerock Westerly Pulls in Golden Champagne added a subtle, elegant contrast to the white cabinetry.
Cabinet Frame Style: A 1/2 overlay design provided a modern, seamless appearance.
Additional Storage: New cabinet modifications allowed for better organization, particularly around the wall oven cutout.

The result? A clean, contemporary kitchen with ample storage and refined details that elevate the overall design.

Countertops: A Durable and Elegant Surface

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 and Faucet: Where Function Meets Elegance

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: High-Performance Upgrades

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.

These state-of-the-art appliances contribute to a kitchen that’s as practical as it is beautiful.

Fixtures and Lighting: The Perfect Finishing Touches

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 and Flooring: Tying the Design Together

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: A Bright and Inviting Color Palette

To complete the transformation, a fresh coat of paint was applied throughout the kitchen:

Cabinet Color: Sherwin-Williams Pure White SW 7005 for a crisp, modern aesthetic.
Wall Color: Sherwin-Williams Silver Pointe SW 7653, adding depth and sophistication.
Ceiling and Baseboard Color: Sherwin-Williams High Reflective White SW 7757, ensuring a bright, airy feel.

This color scheme perfectly balances modern elegance and warmth, making the kitchen feel more open and inviting.
