Project Case Study
Cherry Hills Village White Upper & Natural Oak Kitchen
The Challenge
The existing kitchen was all-white and felt cold and one-dimensional. The homeowners wanted warmth and texture without sacrificing the clean, bright feel they loved — a balance that required a carefully considered two-tone approach rather than a wholesale change in direction.
Design Objective
Pair crisp white upper cabinetry with warm natural oak lowers to create a kitchen that feels both bright and grounded. Quartz countertops provide a durable, low-maintenance work surface, while matte black hardware ties the two cabinet tones together with a bold, contemporary accent.
Complete Scope
- Full demolition of existing cabinetry and surfaces
- White painted upper cabinetry design and installation
- Natural oak lower cabinetry design and installation
- Quartz countertop fabrication and installation
- Matte black hardware selection and installation throughout
- Backsplash tile selection and installation
- Appliance integration
- Lighting and trim coordination

The Result
The finished kitchen achieves exactly the balance the homeowners were after — bright and airy from the white uppers, warm and grounded from the natural oak lowers, and pulled together by the matte black hardware that gives the space a confident, contemporary edge. It's a kitchen that photographs beautifully and lives even better.
