Tracy Kitchen Remodel: Transforming an Outdated Space into a Modern Marvel
A kitchen remodel can breathe new life into a home, turning a dated and inefficient space into a beautiful, functional area. This transformation was perfectly exemplified by the recent remodel completed by kitchen & bath CRATE for a home on Dandelion Loop in Tracy, CA. From new cabinets to updated appliances, every detail was meticulously planned and executed to create a stunning kitchen that meets modern standards of style and functionality.
Cabinets
The cabinetry in the Tracy kitchen remodel was a key focal point of the transformation. The original cabinets, made from red oak, were replaced with a contemporary design featuring Shaker 45-degree door and drawer faces. The new cabinets boast solid wood construction, ensuring durability and a timeless aesthetic. Euro soft-close hinges by Blum and Amerock Blackrock pulls in satin nickel added a touch of modern elegance and functionality.z
Countertops
Countertops play a crucial role in both the aesthetic appeal and functionality of a kitchen. For this remodel, the homeowners chose Della Terra Quartz in the Hana Sky finish. This polished quartz surface not only provides a sleek, high-end look but also offers durability and ease of maintenance. The substantial 1.5″ mitered edge matches the shaker door profile perfectly, also allowing for a “hidden seam” application.
Sinks and Fixtures
A new Blanco Precis Silgranit undermount sink in Metallic Gray was installed, offering both durability and a contemporary look. The kitchen faucet was upgraded to a Kohler Simplice model in Vibrant Stainless, providing a stylish and highly functional addition. The Kohler Transitional soap dispenser in the same finish added a cohesive touch to the sink area. Additionally, an InSinkErator 1/2 HP Badger 5 garbage disposal was installed, ensuring efficient waste management.
Appliances
The remodel included the installation of new appliances, which significantly enhanced the kitchen’s functionality and modern appeal. A custom-built cabinet for a wine fridge was added, complete with an outlet for power, highlighting the attention to detail and customization in the project. The existing crown molding was replaced with a flat 1×2 crown, and a gas box was installed behind the stove to allow it to fit flush against the wall.
Fixtures
Fixtures are the finishing touches that can elevate the overall look of a kitchen. In this remodel, fixtures such as cabinet hardware, faucets, and lighting were carefully selected to complement the new design. The kitchen features under-cabinet lighting with a daylight glow (4000K), ensuring the workspace is well-lit and visually appealing. These fixtures not only enhance the kitchen’s functionality but also contribute to its sleek, modern aesthetic.
Tile and Backsplash
The backsplash is often a focal point in a kitchen remodel, and this project was no exception. The homeowners selected Flash Cool Grey 3×12 tiles for the backsplash, laid in a horizontal 1/2 offset pattern. This choice created a clean, modern look that ties in beautifully with the countertops and cabinets. The backsplash was completed with TEC Power Grout in the color Mist, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing finish.
Paint
Paint color can dramatically influence the feel of a kitchen. For the cabinets, the homeowners chose Snowbound (SW 7004) for the main cabinetry and Iron Ore (SW 7069) for the island, creating a striking contrast. The walls and ceiling were touched up to match the existing colors, ensuring a seamless transition between the remodeled kitchen and the rest of the home.
