When the Casaleno family decided it was time for a kitchen transformation, they envisioned a space that blended modern comfort with rustic charm. With Mountaineer Kitchens & Baths by their side, that vision became reality through thoughtful design, durable materials, and professional craftsmanship.
1. Smart Layout Updates for Improved Flow
- Wall Removal: Took down the knee wall between the kitchen and living room to open up the space and create better sightlines.
- Appliance Coordination: Stored existing appliances on-site for reinstallation and coordinated with vendors for remaining installations. MKB installed the dishwasher and above-range microwave.
- Flooring Patch: Repaired LVP flooring where needed to maintain a clean and unified look.
2. Custom Cabinetry in a Rustic Finish
- Kraftmaid Cabinets: Marquette door style with full overlay in rustic alder, finished in warm “Husk.”
- Soft-Close Hardware: Included throughout for a smooth, quiet user experience.
- Tailored Fit & Finish: Trimmed, toekicked, and adjusted with custom hardware (7904-1VB-P) for a polished final touch.
3. Durable Countertops with Natural Beauty
- Granite Countertops: “Thunder White” granite with a full bullnose edge for a softer silhouette and timeless appeal.
- Seamless Integration: Installed using laser templating and Slabsmith imaging technology for ultra-tight, nearly invisible seams.
4. Upgraded Fixtures & Functional Features
- Sink & Faucet:
- 35″ Aberdeen double-bowl copper apron sink for bold character
- Moen Arbor faucet in oil-rubbed bronze with pull-down spray head
- Garbage Disposal: Moen GXB75C, ¾ HP for powerful waste removal
- Pot Filler Rough-In: Plumbing roughed in above the stove for future convenience
5. Stylish Tile & Lighting Enhancements
- Backsplash Tile:
- Vintage Hex Natural 4×8 from Conestoga Tile in a classic brick pattern
- Grouted in Light Pewter with oil-rubbed bronze Schluter edging
- Lighting Plan:
- 8 LED recessed lights for a bright, evenly lit workspace
- Under-cabinet and in-cabinet lighting rough-ins
- New switches, cover plates, and outlets throughout, finished in crisp white
6. Paint, Trim & Final Details
- Professional Painting:
- Walls: Sherwin Williams Super Paint in satin
- Ceilings: Sherwin Williams Masterhide in flat white
- Trim: Sherwin Williams Masterhide in semi-gloss white
- Trim Installation: New paint-grade base and shoe molding, carefully matched to existing finishes
- Final Cleanup: Cabinets vacuumed, all trash and debris removed, and renovation area left broom-cleaned
