Consider a kitchen reface to save money on your kitchen remodel. Instead of starting from scratch, if your existing cabinets are well-built and well maintained you may be able save time and money by simply refacing your cabinets. Our process begins by either adding a laminated veneer to your cabinets or replacing only the cabinet fronts.

This recent kitchen renovation here in Columbus, showcases a beautiful reface project that preserved the existing cabinets while giving the kitchen an updated look to coordinate better with the rest of the house.

In this example the former owners had painted the already dated cabinet fronts to a flora and fauna pastel motif that the new owner had grown to loath. The cabinet boxes were in good condition, so The Creative Kitchen company worked closely with the homeowner to create the kind of retro-glam kitchen that would tie beautifully into her home and rid her of the floral motif once and for all.

And voila – the results are stunning; the client is elated, and we have some pretty impressive before and after photos to show this remarkable transformation! The new cabinets are: Macasser Ebony – exotic wood.

We worked closely with these Columbus homeowners to come up with a cost-effective solution that included: painting the existing cabinets, removing the less functional Lazy Suzan cabinets and replacing them with custom matched corner pull-out drawers, adding beautiful new hardware universally and finally this show stopper, the hammered copper sink.

Overall the changes gave the whole kitchen a fresh updated look while optimizing kitchen space and function. This kitchen is a great example of true collaboration with our customers to achieve their dream kitchen within a modest budget and space limitations.

There are many solutions ranging from a costly cabinet overhaul to a more cost effective reface. In this Columbus home kitchen remodel, we show you how a simple remodel with lots of white gives a tasteful, beautiful kitchen update that instantly makes your kitchen feel more open, bright and spacious.

The pictures speak for themselves – taking it from dark and dated to bright and striking by adding light paint colors, trim, doors, and new cabinets. We kept the original countertops to tie back to the warm floor color which helped keep our budget and color schemes intact!
