North Austin Kitchen Remodel with New Cabinets & Custom Paint

This North Austin kitchen remodel is a great example of how new cabinetry and updated finishes can completely transform a space. The homeowner wanted a brighter, more modern kitchen that felt open and functional while still working within the footprint of the home.

By installing brand-new kitchen cabinets finished in a bold custom paint color and pairing them with updated countertops and floating shelves, the kitchen now feels fresh, functional, and much more inviting.

If you're planning a similar update, our kitchen remodeling services include cabinet replacement, cabinet painting, countertops, backsplash installation, and full kitchen renovations designed around your space and goals.

Client Goals

The homeowner wanted to modernize the kitchen while making the space feel brighter and more open. The existing cabinetry and finishes felt darker and more dated, so the goal was to create a kitchen that felt cleaner, more functional, and visually lighter.

Key priorities included installing new cabinetry, updating surfaces, and incorporating floating shelves to create a more contemporary design.
