Medallion & Quartz Will Update Cookie-Cutter Landings Unit

Another Cookie-Cutter Kitchen

An updating in place project begins in a second-floor unit in The Landings. It’s a small kitchen but a much needed update from the original style. The homeowners were excited when they bought the unit earlier this year but were less enthusiastic about its 1980s cookie-cutter kitchen.

The kitchen generally included a mix of wood and plastic cabinets and countertops that were very common in kitchens built in the’ 80s and ’90s. This long overdue remodel will replace these outdated materials with a much more luxurious look.

Elegant White

Elegant and stylish white is the focal point here. Medallion Cabinetry will replace the cabinets with an equally elegant and stylish finish called Magnolia. A brown finish called Boulder will contrast the white and will be found on the cabinets at the new bar.

The countertop throughout will consist of a marble-look quartz called Arno. Arno features a warm white backdrop enhanced by thin gray veins and gold accents. The backsplash will be a light blue ceramic wall tile called Albatross Sky.

Knocking Walls Down

As mentioned above, a bar will be a new feature of this kitchen. Currently, a wall with a passthrough makes up one side of the kitchen. This entire wall is coming down and will become the bar. This will give the homeowner a better view of the main living area. This means the small wall jutting out from between the fridge and passthrough will be removed as well. It’s not necessary at all for that to be there. Below is a rendering of the kitchen with the new bar.

Updating the Floor

The last piece to the updating in place puzzle is the flooring. To update the kitchen floor means updating the rest of the main floor. We’ll be doing that with a dark brown luxury vinyl plank flooring called Chateau Dusk. With a new floor weaving throughout the unit, it will look like more than just the kitchen was revamped.
