At Mountaineer Kitchens & Baths, we know that the kitchen is the heart of the home. It’s where families gather, meals are prepared, and memories are made. Recently, we had the pleasure of remodeling the Klein’s kitchen in Shepherdstown, WV. This transformation combined timeless style with modern functionality to create a space that’s as practical as it is beautiful.
A Complete Kitchen Overhaul
The Klein kitchen remodel was a comprehensive project designed to maximize functionality while elevating the space’s aesthetics. Here’s a look at how we brought their dream kitchen to life:
- Demolition and Prep Work: We began by removing the existing appliances, countertops, backsplash, cabinets, and more. The appliances being reused were carefully removed and reinstalled after the renovation. Additionally, the kitchen wall was opened to install ducting for the new range hood, which included some deck removal and reinstallation to properly vent to the exterior.
- Enhanced Electrical Work: Modern conveniences were added, including:
- Hardwired LED under-cabinet and in-cabinet lighting with two controllers.
- Additional receptacles for a base cabinet printer station and an appliance garage.
- USB-enabled outlets and pendant lighting over the island and peninsula.
- Upgraded recessed lighting with white trims, including directional “eyeball” fixtures.
- Updated countertop splash area receptacles with sleek, white finishes.
- Plumbing and HVAC Adjustments: Plumbing was revised for new sinks and faucets, and the existing garbage disposal was reinstalled. A hidden HVAC vent was integrated into the sink base toe kick for a seamless appearance.
High-Quality Materials and Finishes
The Klein kitchen features premium materials and finishes, making it both durable and elegant:
- Custom Cabinetry: Kraftmaid Vantage cabinets in Dove White with Marquette-style doors provided the foundation for this remodel. The cabinets include Prism glass inserts, brushed nickel hardware, and soft-close mechanisms for a modern, polished look.
- Elegant Countertops: The countertops, crafted from LG Viatera Aria quartz, feature a double roundover edge profile for a smooth, elegant finish. A triple stainless-steel undermount sink with offset bowls and an island prep sink complement the space beautifully.
- Timeless Tile: The backsplash features Florida Tile Streamline 3×6 tiles in Buff Gloss, installed in a brick pattern. Paired with brushed nickel Schluter edging and white Laticrete grout, the backsplash adds a touch of timeless charm.
- Modern Fixtures: Moen Arbor faucets in a spot-resistant stainless finish were installed for both the main sink and the prep sink. These single-handle models with pull-down spray heads offer both style and convenience.
A Polished Finish
To ensure a flawless result, we patched and repaired drywall, then painted the walls and ceilings with Sherwin-Williams Super Paint and Masterhide products. Base and shoe moldings were installed and painted to match the existing trim, creating a seamless transition between the kitchen and adjacent areas.
