Amherst Gray Kitchen Cabinets with a Shiplap Peninsula

Hi Friends,

We just got back from a beautiful week in Ocean City, Nj. This is our 13th year going back there and it’s the vacation that the kids and I look forward to most. We bask in the sun, shop the boardwalk, go to the zoo, have cheese nights and date nights, and it really couldn’t be more glorious.

Speaking of couldn’t be more glorious… when I walked into this kitchen once it was finished, it took my breath away!! I couldn’t believe how different it looked!

Here’s the kitchen before:

Ann Marie hired me to do an in person design consult to start the process of the kitchen design. She was such a delight to work with every step of the way. We talked through taking down the partial walls and creating a peninsula instead to open up the room. Then we wrapped the whole island with shiplap.

We also added crown molding to the cabinets to make them feel higher end and finished. I recommended adding hardware as well to give the cabinets more visual interest.

Wall color: Balboa Mist

Could your kitchen use an update? We’d love to help!! We can help pick out colors, finishes, product and do the cabinet painting, tiling, add new hardware. You can use our Contact Us form to request our design services or a quote for painting your kitchen. Please check out other kitchen projects on our For Sale page. We’ll need to see a picture of your kitchen, a list of how many doors and drawers there are, and where you are located to email you an estimate. This change ups the value of your home and gives you a whole new look at a fraction of the cost of new kitchen cabinets!
