When these clients first came into Suburban Lumber, they were set on updating their countertops with quartz. However, the beautiful Blanco Storm quartz they loved didn’t quite match their existing brown cabinetry. Realizing this, they jumped at the opportunity to expand the project to create the kitchen of their dreams.   ## BEFORE - ![IMG_6957](https://blog.suburbanlumber.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_6957.jpeg?width=1536&height=2048&name=IMG_6957.jpeg) Hover message - ![IMG_6960](https://blog.suburbanlumber.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_6960.jpeg?width=1536&height=2048&name=IMG_6960.jpeg) Hover message - ![IMG_6961](https://blog.suburbanlumber.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_6961.jpeg?width=2048&height=1536&name=IMG_6961.jpeg) - ![IMG_6968](https://blog.suburbanlumber.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_6968.jpeg?width=1536&height=2048&name=IMG_6968.jpeg) Victoria, a member of our Design Team, stepped in with a vision. She introduced a full kitchen redesign that included sleek new cabinetry, fresh finishes, and a much-needed tall pantry addition to a previously unused wall. The added storage was a game-changer, and the layout now feels open and functional.   ## AFTER - ![IMG_7781](https://blog.suburbanlumber.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_7781.jpeg?width=2048&height=1536&name=IMG_7781.jpeg) - ![IMG_7784](https://blog.suburbanlumber.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_7784.jpeg?width=1536&height=2048&name=IMG_7784.jpeg) - ![IMG_7791](https://blog.suburbanlumber.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_7791.jpeg?width=1536&height=2048&name=IMG_7791.jpeg) - ![IMG_7790](https://blog.suburbanlumber.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_7790.jpeg?width=1536&height=2048&name=IMG_7790.jpeg) The new JSI Cabinetry in the Amesbury door style and Gray Mist finish instantly modernized the space. Topped with Surfaces by Pacific Blanco Storm quartz, the countertops and full-height backsplash now reflect light beautifully. And with no grout lines, clean-up is a breeze! Finishing touches like Jeffrey Alexander matte black hardware from the Philip collection tie it all together for a refined, contemporary feel. Installed with care by Jason Anderson of JAC Construction, this space transformed into a polished and practical kitchen. Our clients couldn’t be happier—and neither could we!   ## **Ready to fall in love with your kitchen again?**  Whether you want new countertops, cabinets, or a full remodel, we’re here to bring your vision to life.
