Cook Remodeling reworked the layout to improve space and efficiency while keeping room for casual dining. Dark wood cabinetry creates a striking contrast against light granite countertops, while stainless steel appliances and a statement range hood complete the updated look. Recessed lighting replaces the old fluorescent fixture for a cleaner ceiling and a more inviting feel.
Main Kitchen & Range Area
Tired honey oak cabinets, white tile counters, and standard range hood replaced with rich dark wood cabinetry, light granite countertops, white subway tile backsplash, and a modern stainless steel chimney range hood.

Dining Nook & Built-In Storage Hutch
Straight-on view of the dining area storage: dated honey oak pantry and counter with cluttered appliances transformed into a furniture-quality hutch with dark wood finish, deep pull-out drawers, built-in microwave nook, and light granite serving top.

The transformation extends beyond the main kitchen. An old wet bar became a coordinated hutch with added storage, counter space, and a built-in microwave—bringing a cohesive look to the adjoining dining area.
