Project 1-2
Kitchen

<<< Back To Main Portfolio

The original kitchen featured aging, warped cabinets, a mismatched countertop, and inconsistent finishes. With no cohesive design, poor lighting, and deteriorating surfaces, the space lacked both functionality and visual clarity, My goal was to create a clean, minimal, and highly usable kitchen space that matched the refreshed living room design from Project 1-1.

• Demolition & Tear-Down
Removed existing wood cabinetry, wall paneling, and ceiling wood planks that visually weighed down the space.
• Structural & Surface Improvements
Installed a full drywall system (wall&ceiling), patched sanded, and painted.

• Flooring Upgrade

Replaced outdated tile with laminate wood plank flooring, chosen for it's warmth durability, and modern appeal.
• Kitchen Cabinetry & Countertop
Assembled and installed IKEA modular bas units, and custom cut the laminate wide with a jigsaw to fit the sink and corners precisely. This allowed for a quick, cost-effective upgrade with a polished result.
• Plumbing & Sink Installation
Reinstallation basic plumbing fixtures, secured sink placement, and ensured full function after countertop integration.

• Ventilation Prep & Installation

Rerouted ceiling wiring and installed fixture bases, to install range hood ventilation.

• Finishing Touches

Selected simple modern appliances and added a floating shelf and minimalist decor to maintain a sense of openness and balance.

Before & After
The result is a fully revitalized kitchen with improved usability and cohesion with the adjacent living area. By integrating clean lines, bright finished, and functional layout choices, the space was transformed from worn-out and outdated to clean, welcoming, and modern-ready for daily use.
