The Kitchen Story

We were thrilled and grateful to help this homeowner with her kitchen renovation! When I met this lovely homeowner and her adorable puppy, Daisy, they were both so excited to show me the finished project.

This journey began with the homeowner wanting to treat herself to something special—a project that would lift her spirits and make her space feel brighter and more inviting. The original cabinets were showing signs of wear, with worn-out hinges becoming a growing issue. Limited natural light and dark wood cabinets left this kitchen feeling dark and a bit gloomy.  Her vision was to create a brighter, more open space with easier access to kitchen essentials and plenty of extra storage. She knew that transforming her kitchen would be a wonderful way to create a place that felt both refreshing and inspiring.

Dean Cabinetry was happy to recommend Mark Ruggiero from DIFY Innovations to get the space ready for cabinets. Mark led the way, ensuring each stage of the renovation went smoothly and every detail was just right. The homeowner chose the Fabuwood Galaxy Framed Overlay in Linen, beautifully paired with stunning Dexton Entzo countertops and backsplash, which added a subtle touch of color. The clean, uncluttered look she envisioned came to life with stainless steel appliances, polished chrome cabinet pulls, and a sleek Delta Essa kitchen faucet.

The upgraded kitchen now features two tall pantries. One pantry was specifically designed to keep cleaning tools and supplies within easy reach and even includes a hidden outlet for conveniently recharging tools. The other pantry is perfect for household essentials, offering plenty of much-needed storage space. Other smart storage solutions include a corner Super Susan cabinet, rollout-trays for easy-access to goods, and tray dividers above the refrigerator for effortless organization.  

And we can’t forget Daisy, the adorable pup who loves to hang out in the kitchen—what a cutie! This space truly feels like home, inside and out. Say cheese, Daisy!
