Color, Character & Culinary Joy

The original kitchen was dark, outdated, and didn’t reflect the homeowners’ style or love of cooking and entertaining. With the help of Showplace Cabinetry and their local dealer, the couple reimagined the space to be functional, personal, and full of character. They were thrilled to use the Showplace ColorSelect program, choosing Sherwin-Williams “Jade Dragon” for the island and base cabinetry, paired with White painted uppers for a clean, fresh contrast.

To open up the space, the dated peninsula was removed and replaced with a custom, narrow island designed specifically for baking and prep work. Smart layout choices—like an angled base cabinet on the island mirrored on the perimeter—helped create natural flow and easy access to their full-depth fridge. Though panel-ready appliances were considered, the homeowners chose to keep their newer stainless steel models and allocate the budget elsewhere.

Storage was a must, so the space was packed with plenty of stacked wall cabinets featuring lighted, prep-for-glass doors and L-shaped floating shelves in the corners to showcase unique cookware and global treasures collected during their travels.

The result is a personalized, bright, and highly functional kitchen that the homeowners love—and they’ve already recommended Showplace Cabinetry to their friends and family!
