Real Kitchens. Real Homeowners. Real Transformations.
Every kitchen has a story. Here are some of ours — from the first measurement to the final delivery.
Start My TransformationCase Study 1 — The Soffit Problem
“Every contractor said it couldn’t be done. Leon found a way.”
The Situation: Large soffits running the full length of the upper cabinet wall. Every contractor said tear them out.
The Solution: Leon designed around the soffits using crown molding to bridge the gap — making them look intentional.
The Result:
- ✓ Zero structural work
- ✓ High-end built-in look
- ✓ Delivered in 12 days
- ✓ Fraction of the cost of removal
“I had three contractors tell me I needed to tear out the soffits. Leon designed around them in one afternoon.”
Case Study 2 — The Custom Built-In Look
“They thought they needed a custom cabinet shop. They didn’t.”
The Situation: Custom shop quotes: $28,000–$42,000. 12-week lead times.
The Solution: Full-height uppers, decorative end panels, integrated filler strips, and crown molding from the Slim Shaker collection.
The Result:
- ✓ Full custom built-in aesthetic
- ✓ Delivered in 12 days
- ✓ Final cost: under $14,000
“We were quoted $35,000 by a custom shop. Leon built us the same kitchen for less than half that — and it arrived in two weeks.”
Case Study 3 — The Microwave Solution
“The microwave was ruining the design. Until it wasn’t.”
The Situation: Countertop microwave dominating a small kitchen. No counter space.
The Solution: Dedicated microwave cabinet — specialty base with built-in shelf, concealed behind a decorative panel door.
The Result:
- ✓ Microwave completely hidden
- ✓ Counter space reclaimed
- ✓ Delivered in 12 days
- ✓ Added cost: under $400
“I didn’t even know this was an option. The microwave just disappears.”
Case Study 4 — The Island Transformation
“They said an island wouldn’t fit. It fit perfectly.”
The Situation: Every contractor said the kitchen was too small for an island.
The Solution: Custom-proportioned Navy Shaker island — two-tone contrast against White Shaker perimeter cabinets.
The Result:
- ✓ Island installed where everyone said impossible
- ✓ Two-tone design
- ✓ Delivered in 12 days
- ✓ Added ~$2,800
“Three people told us an island wouldn’t fit. Leon showed us in 3D exactly how it would work.”
Case Study 5 — The Fridge Relocation
“Moving the refrigerator changed everything — and it cost less than they thought.”
The Situation: Refrigerator blocking kitchen flow for 11 years.
The Solution: Full layout redesign with fridge in optimal position + built-in fridge panel cabinets.
The Result:
- ✓ Traffic flow transformed
- ✓ Built-in look
- ✓ Trade work: under $800
- ✓ Delivered in 12 days
“We lived with that fridge in the wrong spot for 11 years. It took 4 hours and changed the entire kitchen.”
