Waverly Kitchen Remodel
A brighter, more functional kitchen created within the home’s original footprint.
Project Overview
Elevated Style Within the Existing Footprint
This kitchen remodel focused on elevating both style and functionality while maintaining the home’s original footprint. By keeping the existing layout, the project minimized structural changes while maximizing the impact of updated finishes and custom features.
New luxury vinyl plank flooring was installed throughout the kitchen and dining area, creating a seamless and durable foundation for everyday living. Custom cabinetry improved storage while introducing a timeless aesthetic through warm wood tones. A new apron-front sink became a standout focal point, combining classic character with everyday practicality.
Paired with updated countertops, backsplash and lighting, the result is a brighter, more inviting kitchen that feels modern, functional and designed for gathering with family and friends.
