TIPS
For me design is not just about aesthetics; it’s a celebration of people—who they are, what they cherish, and the vibrant ways they experience life in their homes.

Project Union City was a complete kitchen transformation with layers of comfort, function, and personality throughout. What began as a dated layout is now a fresh, welcoming space with a remodeled kitchen and a dedicated coffee bar. Two cozy seating areas complete the transformation, making everyday living feel a little more elevated.

With new cabinetry, quartz surfaces, warm flooring, and thoughtful styling, this home now feels as good as it functions. We considered every detail to create a space that flows naturally and feels intentional from corner to corner.

At the center of the home is the fully remodeled kitchen. We installed sleek light gray cabinetry with a mix of solid doors and glass-front panels. This adds visual interest and space for display. Matching quartz countertops and a full-height backsplash create a clean, polished look. Stainless steel appliances complete the modern feel.

Fresh paint and hardwood floors keep the entire space grounded and warm. The result is a room that feels light and fresh, but still connected to the rest of the home.

Just off the main kitchen area, a separate coffee bar brings both style and function. Designed with the same light gray cabinetry, glass paneling, and quartz finishes, this space adds storage and charm without taking up too much room. Whether it’s used for morning coffee or casual entertaining, it’s one of those small features that makes a big difference.

We added two seating zones to make this kitchen a true gathering space. One is a casual breakfast nook with a farm-style table, perfect for daily meals or lingering weekend mornings. The second is a bistro-style sitting area, complete with a small table, chairs, and a soft area rug with blue accents that tie the space together.

Both spots are designed to invite people in and make the kitchen feel like more than just a place to cook.

Why It Works

Project Union City is a great example of how thoughtful renovation and styling can completely change the way a home feels. By focusing on quality materials, smart layout choices, and cozy seating, this kitchen became a multifunctional space that feels fresh, welcoming, and truly livable.

Our favorite part is how all the details come together. From the cabinetry and counters to the furniture and finishes, everything feels unified without being too perfect. It is modern, warm, and ready for real life.


Want to bring the Project Union City look into your own space? Start with soft gray tones, clean lines, and layered textures. Keep the palette cohesive, and mix in a few cozy touches to warm things up.

Everyday function. Elevated style. A kitchen that truly feels like home.
