We love a good shoutout! 😍 Thanks Swedish Door
This project was an absolute blast to design and install. If you want the luxury look of custom cabinetry without a massive price tag, pairing Swedish Door fronts with IKEA cabinets is the ultimate game-changer.

🔨 WALLS REMOVED, SPACE RECLAIMED! 🔨

Take a look at this incredible LaBader transformation! This wasn't just a simple facelift, we completely re-engineered the layout to turn a cramped, isolated galley kitchen into a seamless, high-class open concept.

To bring this dream kitchen to life, our team took on the heavy lifting:

Wall Removal: Opened up the entire floor plan to create a natural, breezy flow through the main level.

HVAC Relocation: Masterfully rerouted structural elements to maximize ceiling height and optimize space.

Custom Lighting Design: Replaced dated fixtures with strategic, bright recessed pot lights and under-cabinet illumination.

Every detail was chosen to exude class. From the crisp, floor-to-ceiling white cabinetry and seamless quartz countertops to the striking black hardware accents that ground the space.

Now, this home has a beautiful, functional hub perfect for family dinners and hosting guests. 🥂✨
