Kitchens

The homeowners loved the character of their Chagrin Falls home but wanted a kitchen that felt brighter, more functional, and better suited to everyday living. Their existing oak cabinetry and layout felt dated, and they wanted to preserve the home’s farmhouse charm while creating additional storage, seating, and a more cohesive connection to the surrounding spaces. 

Hurst Design Build Remodel refreshed the existing kitchen by refinishing the original Merillat oak cabinetry, adding custom storage above the refrigerator, and incorporating new cabinetry with matching Cambria countertops to expand both workspace and functionality. A new peninsula created a welcoming gathering space, while updated flooring, trim, and finishes were carefully selected to complement the home’s farmhouse character. The result is a kitchen that feels brighter, more organized, and thoughtfully updated without losing its original charm. 

• Existing Merillat oak cabinetry professionally refinished and complemented with new custom cabinetry for additional storage 

• Cambria Berwyn quartz countertops that provide durable work surfaces with a timeless appearance 

• Peninsula with integrated seating for casual dining, meal preparation, and entertaining 

• Custom storage above the refrigerator, built-in wine storage, and soft-close cabinetry that improve organization 

• Classic CTI subway tile backsplash paired with coordinating CTI floor tile throughout the kitchen and laundry room 

• Existing sink and plumbing fixtures thoughtfully incorporated into the refreshed design 

• Baird Brothers trim and a Sherwin Williams color palette that preserve the home’s farmhouse character 

• Cohesive flooring and finish selections that unify the kitchen and adjoining laundry space 

The completed renovation preserves the warmth and character of the home’s farmhouse style while delivering the functionality expected in a modern kitchen. Refreshed cabinetry, expanded storage, durable materials, and an improved layout create a bright, welcoming space that is well-suited for everyday living, family gatherings, and entertaining.
