Walnut & Quartzite Family Renovation

A family-centered renovation of the kitchen, dinette, and family room with hardwood updates throughout. The design retained quality professional appliances while introducing walnut rift-cut custom cabinetry, a quartzite perimeter, a solid quartz waterfall island, a farmhouse sink, and a tiled hood.

Martire Custom Homes reimagined this family-centered renovation with new cabinetry, natural stone, hardwood updates, and thoughtful architectural adjustments to improve the sense of height and proportion in a lower-ceilinged space.

Existing professional appliances were retained while the surrounding kitchen, dinette, and family areas were refined with lasting materials: walnut rift-cut custom cabinetry, a natural quartzite perimeter, a solid quartz waterfall island, a farmhouse sink, and a tiled hood, all for a warmer, more elevated point of view.
