For one family, a kitchen remodel was about more than updating cabinets and countertops. It was an opportunity to make a longtime family home better suited to their everyday needs while preserving the connection to a property that had been part of their lives for decades.
“Our house was built by my parents in 1980. It was our first home and a great source of pride for my parents,” the homeowner shared. “They had visions to remodel and ended up moving instead however my mom loved the property so much and mentioned that she would come back.”
Years later, the homeowner and her husband, Chris, purchased the property themselves. While the move meant adjusting to a smaller house, the outdoor space made it worthwhile. “When Chris and I bought it it was a large downsize in house but huge upgrade in property and outdoor space. We struggled with a lack of space.”
Working with designer Valerie Frank, the homeowners were introduced to Bill Putiri at Cabinet Discounters‘ Mount Airy, Maryland showroom. Together, they explored ways to improve the kitchen’s layout, increase storage, and create a more functional space that would meet their needs.
The new kitchen features Homecrest Cabinetry with Sedona Painted doors in Lakeside Opaque, a deep blue finish that carries throughout the room. Brass-toned hardware provides contrast against the cabinetry, while Vicostone Cipollino quartz countertops introduce a lighter surface with subtle veining. The combination creates a consistent look across the perimeter cabinets and the large center island.
The island serves as a central feature of the kitchen, providing additional work surface, storage, and seating for three. Drawers and cabinets beneath the countertop help keep everyday items organized, while a built-in beverage refrigerator adds convenience. Additional floor-to-ceiling cabinetry provides storage without taking away from the kitchen’s open layout.
The homeowners appreciated the ideas and guidance they received throughout the design process. “[Bill] and everyone at Cabinet Discounters was a pleasure to work with and gave us great ideas and concepts to redo the space and add functionality.”
With the kitchen remodel and addition completed, the family now has a space that better accommodates their daily routines. The increased storage, expanded countertops, and improved layout have made a difference, particularly for a homeowner who spends considerable time in the kitchen.
“We are beyond thrilled with the new kitchen and addition. Has given us the exact space we wanted and needed. I spend a lot of time in the kitchen and really enjoy how easy the space is for storage and the beautiful cabinets and countertops. We could not be happier.”
For this family, the project represents another chapter in a home that has held meaning since 1980. With help from Bill Putiri and the Cabinet Discounters team, the kitchen now offers the space and functionality the homeowners had been looking for while allowing them to continue enjoying the property they love.
