Kitchen in Avon, Ohio

Lisa and Joe were unsure of how to update their mid-90s oak kitchen, which had served them well over the years but was now outdated and lacking in functionality. With their children grown and out of the house, Lisa—a devoted grandmother—needed a kitchen that could better accommodate her role as a weekday caregiver to her toddler grandchildren. Recognizing the need for a more functional and stylish space, Remodel Me Today suggested a kitchen renovation that would open up the area and modernize its design.

To enhance the kitchen’s functionality, the remodel began with the removal of a non-load-bearing wall that separated the kitchen from the dining room. This created a more open layout—improving traffic flow and making the space feel larger and more connected. Electrical and gas lines were rerouted to accommodate the new design while lighting was upgraded with 6-inch wafer LED lights, stylish sconces, and pendant fixtures—adding both brightness and elegance.

The cabinetry was completely updated with a blend of modern style and practicality. High-quality, all-wood cabinets were installed—featuring soft-close hardware on both doors and drawers for a smooth, quiet experience. A few cabinets were fitted with glass doors—adding a touch of sophistication and allowing for display of special dishware. Additionally, the drawers were upgraded with dovetail construction—ensuring lasting durability and a premium finish.

This kitchen renovation not only brought new life to Lisa and Joe’s home but also improved the space’s usability for Lisa’s daily caregiving. With improved storage, modern cabinetry, and a more open layout, the kitchen now perfectly blends style and functionality—making it a welcoming environment for both family gatherings and day-to-day living.

By focusing on traffic flow, updated cabinetry, and overall design, this kitchen renovation turned a once-dated space into a stylish, functional hub that will serve Lisa, Joe, and their growing family for years to come.
