Project Overview
A full transformation — from dark and dated to bright, open, and architecturally refined.
This Mediterranean-inspired kitchen and bar remodel involved a complete gut-and-rebuild of the main kitchen, butler's pantry, and bar area. The original dark cabinetry and dated layout were replaced with a bright, open design anchored by a sculptural hand-carved stone range hood, custom white shaker cabinetry, and a dramatic two-tone island.
The centerpiece of the kitchen is the arched stone hood — hand-carved with ornate Mediterranean detailing — paired with a professional 6-burner range, pot filler, and full marble slab backsplash. The oversized island features a quartz waterfall countertop, undermount sink, and seating for four, with pendant lighting above.
The butler's pantry was transformed with new white cabinetry, arabesque Moroccan tile backsplash, and quartz countertops — leading directly into a dedicated wine cellar with custom diamond rack and integrated wine refrigerator. Existing wood beams and arched doorways were preserved and enhanced to honor the home's original Mediterranean character.
