Northwest Austin Kitchen Remodel with Slim Shaker Cabinets & Quartz
This Northwest Austin kitchen remodel involved removing the existing furdown and pantry, installing all-new slim shaker cabinets, and updating the kitchen with quartz countertops and a matching quartz backsplash. Austin Painting and Cabinets also installed undercabinet lighting, new luxury vinyl flooring, and completed interior painting of the walls, ceilings, doors, and trim.

Removing the Kitchen Furdown & Existing Pantry
The remodel began with removing the existing furdown above the kitchen cabinets and the original pantry.
Kitchen furdowns, also commonly called soffits, occupy space above upper cabinets. Removing them can open up additional design possibilities when installing new cabinetry, depending on the home's construction and what may be concealed inside.
Removing the pantry was another part of preparing the kitchen for the new cabinet installation.
These changes distinguish the project from a cosmetic kitchen update because they involved modifying existing kitchen elements before installing the new cabinetry and finishes.
New Slim Shaker Kitchen Cabinets
One of the main features of this Northwest Austin kitchen remodel is the installation of all-new slim shaker cabinets.
Slim shaker cabinets, sometimes called skinny shaker, thin shaker, narrow shaker, or micro shaker cabinets, use a narrower frame around the recessed center panel than traditional shaker cabinet doors.
This creates a more streamlined appearance while retaining the recognizable shaker-style construction.
Unlike cabinet painting or refacing, installing new cabinets allows the cabinetry itself to be replaced as part of the kitchen renovation.

Quartz Countertops & Matching Quartz Backsplash
The kitchen received new quartz countertops and a matching quartz backsplash.
Using quartz on both surfaces creates a consistent material palette between the horizontal countertop surfaces and the vertical backsplash.
A quartz backsplash offers a different appearance from a traditional tile backsplash, using the same countertop material to create a coordinated finish.
Quartz is an engineered stone material commonly selected for kitchen countertops because it is nonporous and does not require the periodic sealing associated with many natural stones.

New Undercabinet Lighting
Undercabinet lighting was installed as part of the new kitchen cabinetry.
This lighting helps illuminate the countertop work areas below the upper cabinets while adding another layer of lighting to the kitchen.
Coordinating the undercabinet lighting with the new cabinets and quartz backsplash allowed it to be incorporated into the overall kitchen design.
New Luxury Vinyl Flooring
The remodel also included installing new luxury vinyl flooring.
Luxury vinyl flooring is a popular choice for remodeling projects because it offers a range of finishes and is designed for everyday residential use.
Installing the flooring as part of the kitchen renovation allowed the new floor finish to be coordinated with the cabinetry, quartz surfaces, and surrounding interior paint.
Interior Painting of Walls, Ceilings, Doors & Trim
In addition to the kitchen remodeling work, Austin Painting and Cabinets completed interior painting of the walls, ceilings, doors, and trim.
These improvements helped coordinate the surrounding interior finishes with the remodeled kitchen.
Combining interior painting with the kitchen renovation allowed multiple aspects of the project to be addressed together.
Coordinating Kitchen Remodeling with Interior Upgrades
This Northwest Austin project is an example of a renovation involving more than cabinets and countertops.
The work included removing existing kitchen elements, installing new cabinetry, adding quartz surfaces, incorporating undercabinet lighting, replacing flooring, and painting interior surfaces.
Planning these improvements together helps account for how the different materials and trades interact during a remodeling project.
