Project Overview
The Sandy Springs kitchen remodeling project showcases Tell Projects' expertise in transforming outdated kitchens into modern culinary spaces that serve as the heart of the home. Located in Houston, TX, this comprehensive kitchen renovation demonstrates how thoughtful design, quality materials, and expert craftsmanship combine to create a kitchen that's both beautiful and highly functional for today's lifestyle.
This project exemplifies the transformation possible when homeowners partner with experienced professionals who understand that a great kitchen balances aesthetics with practicality. From custom cabinetry to modern appliances, every element was carefully selected and expertly installed to create a cohesive design that enhances both the home's value and the family's daily life.
The Challenge
The original kitchen, like many in homes of its era, was showing its age in multiple ways. Worn cabinetry with outdated styles and insufficient storage left the homeowners frustrated. Laminate countertops were scratched and dated, detracting from the space's appeal. The closed-off layout isolated the cook from family gatherings, making the kitchen feel disconnected from the home's living areas.
Builder-grade appliances were reaching the end of their lifespan and lacked the features modern cooks expect. Inadequate lighting made food preparation difficult and gave the space a dim, unwelcoming atmosphere. Limited electrical outlets couldn't support today's kitchen gadgets and appliances. The homeowners envisioned a bright, open kitchen with ample storage, modern amenities, and a layout that would make it the natural gathering place for their family.
Key Challenges Addressed:
- Complete removal of outdated cabinetry and countertops
- Opening up layout to adjacent living spaces
- Upgrading electrical system for modern demands
- Installing new plumbing for optimal sink placement
- Creating abundant storage solutions
- Selecting durable, beautiful materials
- Enhancing lighting throughout the space
- Installing professional-grade appliances
Our Solution
Tell Projects approached the Sandy Springs kitchen remodel with a comprehensive plan that addressed every aspect of the homeowners' vision while incorporating professional expertise to maximize the space's potential. Our experienced team worked efficiently to transform this kitchen while maintaining the highest standards of quality.
Open Concept Design
We began by opening up the kitchen to the adjacent dining area, removing a non-load-bearing wall that had previously isolated the cook from family activities. This strategic modification created an open, flowing space that feels significantly larger while maintaining distinct functional zones. The result is a kitchen that naturally becomes the gathering place the homeowners envisioned.
Custom Cabinetry
The foundation of any great kitchen is quality cabinetry, and the Sandy Springs project features beautiful custom cabinets that provide abundant storage while showcasing clean, contemporary lines. We installed shaker-style cabinets in a warm, neutral finish that complements the overall design. Soft-close hardware ensures quiet operation and longevity. Deep drawers accommodate pots and pans, while specialized organizers maximize every inch of space. Upper cabinets extend to the ceiling, eliminating dust-collecting gaps while providing valuable storage for rarely-used items.
Stunning Granite Countertops
We installed beautiful granite countertops that provide both durability and visual appeal. The granite's natural variation adds depth and interest while coordinating perfectly with the cabinetry and overall color scheme. Full-height backsplash protects walls from splashes while creating a dramatic focal point behind the range. The countertop edges are professionally finished, providing both safety and beauty. Granite's heat resistance and durability make it ideal for serious cooking while requiring minimal maintenance.
Kitchen Island
A centerpiece of the new kitchen is a large island that serves multiple functions. The island provides substantial additional counter space for meal preparation and casual dining. Seating for four makes it perfect for quick meals, homework sessions, or conversation while cooking. Storage cabinets within the island add valuable space for cookware and serving pieces. The island's placement defines the kitchen zone while maintaining the open feel of the space.
Professional Appliances
We installed high-end stainless steel appliances that provide both performance and style. The professional-grade range features powerful burners and a spacious oven, perfect for serious cooking. A large-capacity refrigerator provides ample storage with modern features like adjustable shelving and humidity-controlled crispers. The quiet dishwasher makes cleanup effortless. Over-the-range microwave conserves counter space while providing proper ventilation.
Modern Sink & Fixtures
A large undermount sink provides ample space for cleaning large pots and pans while maintaining the countertop's clean lines. The pull-down faucet offers convenience and flexibility with multiple spray settings. High-quality chrome finish resists corrosion and maintains its shine. A garbage disposal was installed for convenient waste management.
Lighting Design
Thoughtful lighting design transforms the kitchen's functionality and atmosphere. Recessed can lights provide overall illumination throughout the space. Under-cabinet lighting illuminates countertops for food preparation tasks. Pendant lights over the island add both task lighting and decorative interest. Dimmer controls allow adjustment for different activities and times of day. The layered lighting approach ensures the kitchen is both functional and inviting.
Flooring
We installed beautiful hardwood flooring that flows seamlessly from the kitchen through adjacent spaces, creating visual continuity throughout the main living areas. The wood's warm tones complement the cabinetry while providing durability and easy maintenance. Proper installation techniques ensure the floor will stand up to heavy traffic for years to come.
Electrical & Systems
Behind the beautiful finishes, we completely upgraded the electrical system to meet modern demands. Dedicated circuits were installed for major appliances. GFCI outlets near water sources ensure safety. Additional outlets throughout the space provide convenience for small appliances and devices. All work was performed to code and inspected for compliance.
The Results
The Sandy Springs kitchen remodel exceeded the homeowners' expectations, transforming their outdated kitchen into a modern culinary space that has truly become the heart of their home. The open layout allows them to cook while staying connected with family and guests. The abundant storage keeps everything organized and within reach. Professional-grade appliances make cooking a joy rather than a chore.
The combination of custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and quality appliances has significantly increased the home's value while dramatically improving daily life. The homeowners report that they now spend more time in the kitchen, whether preparing meals, entertaining, or simply gathering as a family. The transformation demonstrates how expert kitchen remodeling can enhance both a home's aesthetics and its functionality.
