San Dimas kitchen remodel work – A homeowner in San Dimas recruited APlus to give their kitchen a serious upgrade, one that would modernize their home and improve its practicality.

Before San Dimas kitchen remodel

Prior to our renovation, the kitchen lacked efficient storage. The cabinets were basic and lacked the specialized space-saving features found in all APlus custom cabinets. As a result, the overall storage potential remained limited. It was also missing a cohesive style that made it a pleasant, refreshing place for the family to spend their time.

Restructuring

First, we re-paved the floors with pale white stone tiles, adding a very subtle geometric pattern and instant brightness to the room. The tiles reflect the light that spills in through the kitchen, as well as the illumination from the newly installed recessed lighting of the ceiling. We also added white crown, foot, and window molding in the dining space, as well as the living area that extends out from the kitchen.

Once these foundational steps were complete, we moved on to building the new custom cabinets. The owner elected to go with an asymmetrical U-shape for the layout to make the most of the relatively narrow but long space. We built cabinets in a Euro style construction, with Jianas style molding, 3” Shaker style doors, and maple melamine interiors. They feature a dark manganese finish paired with contrasting stainless steel handles. As a result, the design achieves a bold yet balanced look. All of the drawers are soft-close, and unique touches include a pull-out cutting board drawer. Built-in spaces accommodate all appliances, which gives the kitchen a perfectly tailored look. As a result, the layout feels seamless and well planned. Meanwhile, tracks for electrical outlets run beneath the upper cabinets. Therefore, countertop appliances stay powered without creating unsightly plug clutter.

White stone countertops with very light gray marbling were chosen. This added to the kitchen’s new transitional look, and went well with the full-height backsplash of multi-tonal gray tiles, arranged horizontally for striking texture.

All of the new appliances were selected in a stainless steel finish. A KitchenAid undercounter dishwasher sits on the left side of the kitchen. Positioned near the KitchenAid Architect Series II countertop microwave oven. In addition, the design team modified the microwave to fit neatly within the upper cabinetry. A Wolf 36” Professional Gas Cooktop is paired with a Wolf 36” Cooktop Wall Ventilation Hood above. On the right side of the kitchen, a Samsung 22.5 cu. ft. A counter-depth French door refrigerator with a Cool Select pantry stands next to a Bosch 30-inch double wall oven. As a result, the layout maintains a clean and well-balanced appearance.

Fireplace

The design team refaced the fireplace in a minimalist style using stone that matches the kitchen floor tiles. As a result, the space feels cohesive and visually balanced. For the mantle, we went with a bold black design that provides plenty of shelf space for vases and family photos.

Bathroom

The same cabinetry and countertop materials extend into the bathroom to create a custom vanity. As a result, the space feels cohesive and well coordinated. The vanity features a Toto undermount sink paired with a Hansgrohe faucet. In addition, the shower received newly updated tiling for a refreshed finish. We used glossy gray rectangular tiles as the primary surface, then created an accent stripe out of small multi-tonal tiles in varying lengths.
