This charming south Charlotte home was in need of a little TLC. The original builder-grade cabinets and countertops were outdated and ready for a change to more modern materials.

The kitchen had a classic U-shaped layout that didn’t fit well with the space. The peninsula obstructed the work area and really restricted the movement around the kitchen. The work triangle was just right, but the honey toned wood cabinets and laminate countertops were definitely past their prime. So, we made some simple effective updates.

The biggest change was getting rid of the peninsula totally and adding a brand new spacious built-in buffet area. This gave her so much more storage space, and the roll-out trays made everyday items easily accessible. We added a built-in trash can pullout so she could hide her trash can. We also made the cabinets a little taller, going from 30 inches to 36 inches for even more storage space. The added benefit of taller cabinets gave the kitchen a fresh and modern look.

We also gave the laundry room a makeover and made it more functional with new cabinets over the washer and dryer for even more storage. We also replaced the flooring on the first floor with durable LVP flooring elevating the overall look and feel of the home. The whole project was completed in just 7 days, from start to finish.
