While magazines often showcase large luxury kitchens, we love transforming small kitchens into beautiful, functional spaces that truly work for everyday life. Designing a small kitchen remodel that maximizes storage, improves layout, and creates a more open feel is one of our favorite challenges.

For this kitchen renovation, we updated outdated hickory cabinets with a fresh soft gray finish to brighten the space and give it a clean, modern look. The custom mosaic stained glass backsplash adds personality and color, while the updated cabinet hardware brings everything together with a stylish finishing touch.

If you’re looking for small kitchen remodeling ideas, cabinet refinishing, or ways to make a compact kitchen feel bigger and more functional, this before-and-after transformation is a perfect example of what’s possible.
