We created a regal kitchen space with plenty of cabinet space, state-of-the-art appliances, a stunning glass range hood, lots of spaces to store wine…and did we mention the LED lit, glowing onyx backsplash? Oh yeah, there’s that too! Designed and built by Paul Lafrance Design.

Yes, you read the title right. Small updates DO make a BIG difference. Whether it’s updating a color, finish, or even the smallest: changing out the hardware, these minor updates together can all make a big difference in the space. For our Flashback Friday Feature, we have a perfect example of how you can make some small updates to revamp the entire space! The best of all, we replaced the door and drawer fronts, and added a small cabinet (removing the soffit, making the cabinets go to the ceiling) making this space seem like it’s been outfitted with a brand new kitchen! If you ask us, that’s a great way of value engineering and getting the best value out of your dollars! To learn more about this project, continue reading below! Cabinets As mentioned above, we removed the existing cabinet door and drawer fronts and replaced them with a more updated shaker style door/drawer fronts supplied by Woodmont. We removed the soffits and added an extra cabinet on the cooktop wall, taking the cabinets to the ceiling. This small update provides additional storage, and gives the space a new look! Countertops Bye-bye laminate, and hello quartz! As our clients were starting to notice the wear-and-tear of their original laminate tops, they knew they wanted something durable and that could last. Well, what better to install than quartz? Providing our clients with something that’s not only easy to maintain, but also modern was exactly what they wanted in their updated kitchen! Backsplash The original backsplash was a plain white 4×4″ tile and left much to be desired. Having lived with this backsplash for years, our clients wanted something more exciting and eye-catching. I can safely say that this small update delivered! We installed an eye-popping glass tile in blues, browns, and whites from Hirsch Glass tile in the Gemstone Collection. Hardware You’d think hardware doesn’t make a huge difference in a space, but it does! It adds not only the feel of good quality but also adds some character to the space. Here we have installed Amerock Blackrock knobs and pulls in Satin Nickel. Other Fixtures To top off the functionality and usability of the space, we installed a new sink and faucet. The sink and faucet is something used every day, so having something of great quality is much appreciated especially when so frequently used. From Kohler, we have an under-mount castiron sink in Palermo Blue. From Blanco, we have a single-hole, and pull-out spray faucet. Flooring Last but not least, we installed cork flooring. The cork provides and soft and cushiony feel and is great on your feet!

Although small, the kitchen has room to seat four people, as well as a large pantry. Open cubbies throughout the space make for great display areas. Photo: Jared Kuzia Photo by: Jared Kuzia

Modern farmhouse kitchen design and remodel for a traditional San Francisco home include simple organic shapes, light colors, and clean details. Our farmhouse style incorporates walnut end-grain butcher block, floating walnut shelving, vintage Wolf range, and curvaceous handmade ceramic tile. Contemporary kitchen elements modernize the farmhouse style with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertop, and cork flooring.

This kitchen remodel included taking out a dividing wall between the kitchen and dining rooms, adding a custom-built, walk-in pantry; and replacing the outdated peninsula with a gorgeous island in a contrasting cabinet color. Cork flooring adds comfort while cooking/entertaining in this spectacular remodel. Tabitha Stephens

This family wanted a house that functioned better for them. Prior to the renovation, the living room was sunken, and there was a pony wall between the kitchen and living room. Standing in the living room wasn't conducive to talking to anyone working in the kitchen. And the only stools were at the end. Raising the living room floor and adding sky lights made the space much more useable. The mix of contemporary styling with mid-century furniture plays to the couple's design sense.
