At Millwood Remodeling & Design, we specialize in complex construction and remodeling projects that transform outdated spaces into modern, functional, and beautiful living areas. One of our recent projects, an 80s kitchen remodel, perfectly showcases our expertise and dedication. This page will walk you through the challenges we faced, the transformation process, and why you should choose Millwood Remodeling & Design for your next home improvement project.
The Challenge: Demolishing the Funky 80s Kitchen
The original kitchen was a quintessential representation of 80s design—lots of brick, a convoluted layout, and materials that had long since fallen out of favor. The room was cluttered and inefficient, with poor lighting and awkward spaces that made cooking and entertaining more of a chore than a pleasure. Our task was to take this outdated space and turn it into a bright, functional, and stylish kitchen that met the needs of a modern family.
The demolition phase was significant. We stripped the kitchen down to its bare bones, removing layers of old materials and addressing hidden issues like outdated plumbing and electrical systems. The brickwork, which was extensive, required careful removal to avoid damaging the structural integrity of the home. Each step of the demolition revealed more about the complexity of the task ahead, but it also provided us with a blank canvas on which to work our magic.
The Transformation: Elegant White and Gray Shaker Cabinets
With the old kitchen completely gutted, we began the exciting phase of redesign and reconstruction. The new design centered around a clean, elegant aesthetic with white and gray Shaker cabinets as the focal point. These cabinets provided a timeless look, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern simplicity.
To add a touch of sophistication and functionality, we incorporated glass upper display cabinets. These not only broke the monotony of solid cabinet doors but also offered a beautiful way to showcase glassware and decorative items. The top glass cabinets were equipped with LED lighting, creating a stunning visual effect, especially in the evenings.
The layout of the kitchen was completely reimagined to maximize space and improve flow. We introduced a large, central island that became the heart of the kitchen. This island is a showstopper—immense in size yet crafted from a single slab of quartz. The seamless surface not only adds to the kitchen’s sleek look but also provides ample workspace for cooking, baking, and entertaining.
Millwoods Amazing Crew
A project of this magnitude requires not just skill but also meticulous attention to detail. Amelia, our lead designer, and her crew brought both in spades. Amelia’s vision for the space was clear from the beginning, and her ability to oversee the project from concept to completion was nothing short of remarkable.
Each member of the crew played a vital role in the transformation. From the precise installation of cabinetry and countertops to the delicate handling of lighting fixtures and appliances, their craftsmanship was evident at every turn. They navigated challenges with ingenuity and dedication, ensuring that every aspect of the remodel met our high standards of quality.
The Result: A Kitchen to Love
The end result was nothing short of spectacular. The once-dark and cramped kitchen is now a bright, airy space that exudes elegance and functionality. Our client was thrilled with the transformation, and their satisfaction is the highest compliment we can receive. The new kitchen not only enhances the home’s value but also provides a beautiful space for the family to gather and create memories.
