Expansive Luxe Kitchen

A Comprehensive Kitchen & Living Space Transformation in Aledo

At the heart of every exceptional design lies a vision—a space that not only looks stunning but also works seamlessly for the lifestyle it serves. For this Aledo remodel, our team of designers, architects, and craftsmen collaborated to reimagine the kitchen and living areas, delivering a home that combines functionality with timeless elegance.

The Design Approach: Vision Meets Execution

Our approach began by understanding the homeowner's needs—an open and functional kitchen that connects fluidly to the family room while offering modern amenities, luxurious finishes, and plenty of storage. From this foundation, we built a detailed plan that encompassed structural changes, custom cabinetry, and finishing touches.

Phase: Structural Planning

To create the open-concept design, we reworked the layout by removing walls, framing a new pantry, and installing beams and columns for support. This allowed the kitchen to flow effortlessly into the family room, fostering a sense of openness and connection. Practical updates such as gas, water, and electrical line relocations were meticulously integrated to support the new layout.

Phase: Flooring and Fireplace

The existing solid hardwood floors were carefully sanded, hand-scraped, and refinished throughout the kitchen, family room, and connecting areas, tying the spaces together with warmth and character. The family room’s fireplace became a standout feature with stacked stone extending from floor to ceiling and a custom wood mantle, adding rustic sophistication.

Phase: Custom Cabinetry and Storage Solutions

The heart of this remodel lies in the custom-designed cabinetry that perfectly balances beauty and utility. In the kitchen, we designed and installed:

Extended upper cabinets with glass doors for an elevated, open feel.
A striking island with hidden outlets, storage, and quartz overhang for seating.
Dual-Tone Elegance: Deep navy lower cabinets contrast beautifully with crisp white uppers, extending to the ceiling with glass-front displays for a touch of modern sophistication.
Purpose-Built Storage: Features such as pullout spice racks, garbage bins, a cookie sheet organizer, and a lift cabinet were thoughtfully designed for maximum efficiency.

Custom Pantry & Dry Bar

Adjacent to the kitchen, the pantry and dry bar received a sophisticated upgrade, the custom pantry includes:

Open adjustable shelving for accessibility.
Hidden pull-out drawers for efficient storage.
A shaker-style barn door for a touch of farmhouse elegance.

The dry bar features seeded glass cabinets for display, with floating shelves illuminated by multi-colored lighting. Below, a dedicated beverage center cabinet and locking storage drawers enhance its functionality. Both spaces were adorned with Quartz countertops and accented by a stunning hexagonal tile backsplash.

Phase: Surfaces & Finishes

Quartz Countertops: Sleek quartz surfaces extend across the kitchen, with a quartz overhang on the island for seating. The waterfall edges enhance the island's contemporary appeal, while a custom apron sink and glass rinser add both luxury and utility.
Backsplash: The main kitchen features a seamless white quartz backsplash, while the pantry introduces a bold hexagonal tile design for added texture and visual interest.

Phase: Lighting and Electrical

Lighting was key to highlighting the craftsmanship and functionality of the space:

Layered Lighting: Recessed LED lights brighten the entire space, while under-cabinet LEDs and pendant lighting over the island provide focused illumination. The extended upper cabinets feature interior lighting for a glowing, luxurious display.
Technology Integration: USB outlets were added for convenience, while chandelier and fan installations brought elegance and comfort to the kitchen and adjacent spaces.

Phase: Final Touches

Fresh paint in neutral tones was applied across the playroom, kitchen, breakfast nook, pantry, and family room. Doors, trim, and baseboards were meticulously painted to complement the cabinetry and flooring, ensuring a cohesive design.

The Final Result

This kitchen and living space remodel is a testament to the power of thoughtful design and skilled craftsmanship. From the bold two-tone cabinetry to the refined hardwood floors and stacked stone fireplace, every detail was carefully curated to create a home that is both functional and stunning. The combination of modern amenities, elegant finishes, and cohesive design has transformed this Aledo home into a space where the homeowners can gather, entertain, and enjoy for years to come.
