A kitchen is more than just a place to cook—it’s the heart of the home. When the Rubinfine family in Martinsburg decided to update their kitchen, they turned to Mountaineer Kitchens & Baths for a complete transformation. With an eye for timeless elegance, improved functionality, and premium finishes, this remodel gave them a space that’s both warm and welcoming while meeting their everyday needs.
A Kitchen Designed for Beauty & Efficiency
The Rubinfine family wanted a kitchen that felt open, bright, and functional, with modern updates that maximized storage and improved workflow. From rich cabinetry and quartz countertops to stylish backsplash tile and custom lighting, every element was thoughtfully chosen to bring their vision to life.
1. Custom Cabinetry for a Classic, Elegant Look
- Kraftmaid Larken Cabinets in Chestnut: These full-overlay maple cabinets with slab drawer fronts offer a warm and sophisticated feel, bringing depth and character to the space.
- Soft-Close Hardware: A luxurious yet practical touch, ensuring cabinets and drawers close smoothly and quietly.
- Sleek Baer Pro-Series Knobs & Pulls: The finishing touch that ties together the rich wood tones with modern hardware.
2. Stunning Quartz Countertops for a Polished Finish
- MSI Solare Quartz: This beautiful, durable surface offers a soft, natural look while providing low-maintenance durability for everyday use.
- Roundover Edge Profile: A sleek and timeless finish that complements the warm wood tones of the cabinetry.
- Undermount Stainless Steel Sink: Paired with satin strainer baskets, this sink enhances both aesthetics and practicality.
3. A Stylish & Functional Backsplash
- Florida Tile Retroclassic 3×6 in Mocha: Installed in a brick pattern, this tile adds a subtle texture and depth to the space.
- Chair Rail Picture Frame Accent Above the Cooktop: A custom feature that elevates the backsplash design and creates a focal point in the kitchen.
- Laticrete Permacolor Grout in Latte: A warm, neutral tone that seamlessly blends with the tile.
- Schluter Metal Edging in Bahama Color-Coated Aluminum: A modern, clean finish that ties everything together.
4. Thoughtful Lighting & Electrical Upgrades
- LED Under-Cabinet and In-Cabinet Lighting: Enhancing both task lighting and ambiance, these fixtures highlight the cabinetry’s rich tones and the quartz countertops’ subtle veining.
- New Recessed Lighting: Four new LED recessed lights were installed, utilizing existing switches to brighten the space without overwhelming it.
- Pendant Lights Over the Dining Area: Installed flush-mounted fixtures (provided by the homeowner), adding a touch of personal style to the design.
5. Functional Layout & Smart Upgrades
- Partial Wall Removal: We removed a partial wall next to the refrigerator, creating a more open layout that improved flow and accessibility.
- Custom Electrical Adjustments:
- Added wiring for a recirculating exhaust fan.
- Installed a dedicated circuit for the refrigerator in the garage.
- Added an outlet in the extended countertop area for a coffee station.
- Updated Plumbing for a New Dishwasher Location: Rerouted plumbing to accommodate the new kitchen design, ensuring optimal placement for appliances.
A Kitchen That’s Built to Last
The final result is a kitchen that blends warmth, elegance, and everyday convenience. With its rich cabinetry, durable quartz countertops, modern lighting, and functional layout, the Rubinfine family’s kitchen is now a welcoming and stylish space where they can enjoy cooking, entertaining, and making memories.
