Kitchen RefreshCountertop & Backsplash
A strategic kitchen update that replaced laminate countertops and a dated tile backsplash with quartz surfaces and travertine tile — meaningfully changing the room without replacing every element.

- Type
- Targeted kitchen surface update
- Surfaces
- Quartz countertops, including the island
- Backsplash

- Kept
- Existing cabinetry and layout
The kitchen had original laminate countertops, a dated diagonal ceramic tile backsplash, honey-oak raised-panel cabinets, a worn island surface, a countertop microwave occupying valuable counter space, a double-basin stainless sink, wood countertop edging, and an existing black dishwasher.
Refresh the kitchen's most visible surfaces — countertops and backsplash — to modernize the space while working with the existing cabinetry and layout.
Then and now
Before and after.
The work
What we built.
New quartz countertops replaced the laminate surfaces throughout, including the island. A travertine tile backsplash replaced the dated diagonal ceramic tile.
By focusing on the surfaces that dominate the room — countertops and backsplash — the kitchen took on a noticeably more current appearance. The honey-oak cabinetry remained, but the room reads as updated rather than dated.

Not every kitchen needs a gut remodel. When the cabinets are sound, replacing the surfaces you look at most can change the room for a fraction of the disruption.
