I’m so excited to share a kitchen remodel set in a charming home built in 1962! The homeowners wanted to embrace a mid-century modern aesthetic, and we worked together to bring that vision to life with style and personality.
For this project, we chose custom cherry cabinets by Dura Supreme Cabinetry. The rich, warm wood tones capture the mid-century look we were going for perfectly. We paired the cabinetry with sleek matte black pulls from Schaub Hardware for a modern contrast. I love how the clean lines of the cabinets create a sleek, sophisticated look that feels both timeless and fresh. To add some color and visual interest, we went with a full-height tile backsplash, which brings a bold, dramatic element to the space. It’s such a fun pop of color that really livens up the room!
One of my favorite elements in this kitchen is the stunning quartzite countertops. We went for waterfall edges on all four corners of the island, and one edge is uniquely asymmetrical, giving the space a truly custom look. The homeowner was really hands-on in this part of the project, working closely with Bryan, our talented lead granite installer, to make sure every detail was perfect. It’s one of my favorite details of the design because it adds so much personality and craftsmanship to the kitchen.
This remodel perfectly blends mid-century modern flair with the sophistication and warmth the homeowners wanted. The end result is a space that feels cohesive, welcoming, and full of character, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.
If you’re ready to transform your kitchen into a space that reflects your style and needs, I’d love to help! Our team at Benson Stone is here to make your remodel experience easy and enjoyable.
