South Austin Kitchen Remodel: Quartz, Cabinet Painting & Open Layout

Project Overview

This South Austin kitchen remodel focused on opening up the kitchen and updating the finishes while keeping the existing cabinet layout.

The project included removing the raised bar top behind the sink, cabinet painting, new quartz countertops and backsplash, new cabinet hardware, and an updated sink and faucet.

Before the Remodel

The original kitchen had a raised bar top that made the space feel more closed off and separated from the surrounding living area.

After the Remodel

Removing the raised bar top helped create a cleaner, more open layout. The painted cabinets, quartz countertops, backsplash, hardware, sink, and faucet gave the kitchen a much brighter and more updated look.

Project Details

Design Highlights

The biggest improvement came from removing the raised bar top and creating a single-level surface behind the sink.

The quartz countertops and backsplash added a clean, modern finish, while cabinet painting helped completely refresh the kitchen without replacing the existing cabinet boxes.
