When the homeowners in the Springmill subdivision in Marietta, GA made the decision to update their kitchen (as well master bath, guest bath and library,) CCFF was called in to bring the renovations to life. Originally Maple, the kitchen cabinets were refinished to a white painted factory smooth finish. The other additions include:

One of the most dramatic changes took place with the Island. The raised bar was leveled to create one continuous countertop. This additional space allows for more workspace for prepping, entertaining and dining.

  • Cove crown molding with apron
  • Light rail under cabinet molding
  • Fridge enclosed with side panel
  • Oven cabinet modification
  • Stovetop hood
  • Island bar leveled
  • Arched toe kick
  • Pendant lighting
  • Farmhouse sink,
  • Quartz countertop
  • Marble backsplash
  • Walls freshly painted
BEFORE: Raised bar on maple Island
AFTER: Leveled bar on white Island

The other area of the kitchen that took on a big change is the oven and stovetop cabinets. Cabinet modifications were made to the oven area cabinets to accommodate the new oven/microwave combo unit. The original microwave was removed and replaced with new cabinet doors. Then the above stove cabinets were replaced with a custom built hood.

BEFORE: Oven/stove area maple cabinets
AFTER: New Oven/stove cabinets w/ hood

This kitchen now reflects an updated, clean and bigger look and feel to enjoy with family and friends for years to come!
