Southwest Austin features immaculate views of the Texas Hill Country, and features many charming older neighborhoods. This area of Austin has increased in popularity due to the beautiful views, and distance to downtown. This is a place where you can have the best of both worlds, urban and suburban life. Our clients featured in this transformation story have decided to upgrade their beautiful Southwest Austin home with a kitchen renovation by Cabinet IQ.
The clients came into our South Austin showroom first looking to remodel their outdated primary bathroom. Along with kitchens, here at Cabinet IQ, we also renovate cabinets and countertops for bathrooms. The clients had dark espresso wood cabinets, outdated granite countertops, and were looking to modernize the entire space. Our designer Allison, ended up helping the clients select a Kraftmaid stain called Barley on a Maple Wood Shaker door. It turned out perfect! The clients were so happy they decided to remodel their kitchen with Cabinet IQ as well. The kitchen layout was open and functional, but dated, therefore requiring a much needed facelift.
Our customer’s vision was a contemporary space. They started with an older home, which included dated wood and other finishes. In the bathroom, where it all began, the cabinets featured Kraftmaid Cabinetry’s Barley Stain on Maple Wood. For the kitchen design, the client wanted to bring in the same Barley stain into the space. They ended up doing the kitchen island base cabinets in the Barley stain, and the perimeter of the kitchen including wall cabinets was completed in a Shaker White cabinet. The countertop and backsplash selected was a Cambria quartz in the color Hermitage. The client also chose to do a special waterfall apron sink feature with the Hermitage quartz. Hermitage includes delicate gold veining swirls in tight and open patterns, creating lighter and darker pools of color. This elegant and warm design glistens. For the hardware, our client went with Top Knobs reeded pulls, in the color Honey Bronze. The kitchen island pendant and sink faucet was also bronze, pulling the whole look together. The kitchen is packed with utility cabinets including a lazy susan and two spice rack pullouts.
The new kitchen made the old kitchen completely unrecognizable! Our clients are beyond happy with the results. The Shaker White and Barley kitchen cabinetry with the Hermitage backsplash and countertop elevated the entire look of the home. We love doing a multi-room renovation in homes, and we are thankful this client trusted us with not only her bathroom, but kitchen as well. The overall uniformity and cohesiveness of the space makes for a valuable investment.
