Downtown Austin Kitchen Remodel on E 22nd St with Quartz Countertops and Cabinet Painting

This downtown Austin kitchen remodel on E 22nd St was designed to completely update the look and functionality of the space without a full cabinet replacement. The original kitchen felt dark and outdated, with older finishes and limited visual appeal. The goal was to create a brighter, more modern kitchen using cabinet painting, new countertops, and updated finishes.

As part of our kitchen remodeling in Austin, this project included cabinet painting, wall and ceiling painting, quartz countertop installation, a new tile backsplash, updated hardware, lighting, and a new sink to bring everything together into one cohesive design.

Kitchen Remodel Project Details

This kitchen remodel focused on maximizing the impact of the existing layout while upgrading the finishes that matter most. By combining cabinet painting with new countertops and updated fixtures, the space was transformed into a clean, modern kitchen without the cost and timeline of full cabinet replacement.

  • Cabinet painting with a modern, bright finish
  • Wall and ceiling painting for a clean, updated look
  • Quartz countertops in Austin for durability and style
  • Tile backsplash installation
  • New cabinet hardware
  • Updated lighting fixtures
  • New kitchen sink installation

Materials and Finishes Used

This downtown Austin kitchen remodel was designed with a focus on clean lines, durability, and modern finishes. The combination of painted cabinets, quartz countertops, and updated lighting creates a space that feels brighter, more open, and easier to use day to day.

  • Professionally sprayed cabinet finish for a smooth, factory-like look
  • Quartz countertops for long-term durability and low maintenance
  • Modern tile backsplash to tie together cabinets and countertops
  • Updated hardware for a clean, finished appearance
  • New lighting to improve brightness and functionality

Before and After Transformation

The transformation on this E 22nd St kitchen remodel shows how much of an impact updated finishes can make. The original kitchen had darker cabinets and older materials that made the space feel smaller and outdated.

After the remodel, the kitchen is significantly brighter, more modern, and more functional. The painted cabinets, quartz countertops, and backsplash work together to create a clean, cohesive design that feels brand new.
