New Jersey Kitchen Update
Once the heart of the home for the food and beverages there, kitchens have evolved into gathering spaces where local and global issues are addressed, along with homework, idea exchanges and family discussions. The décor here can even set the household mood, and replacing dark, dated cabinet fronts and black counters with bright white everything lifted the energy in this Cliffside Park, N.J., home.
Here’s where perhaps mother knows best, as the kitchen makeover was a mom’s gift to her daughter. After new counters were in place, the Paintworks team scrutinized the cupboard doors and drawers, noting and correcting every little ding, dent and scratch. Only then did we paint the cabinets with Benjamin Moore’s popular classic, Decorator’s White. Outdated knobs were replaced with contemporary brushed nickel handles for a modern vibe and complement to the stainless steel appliances. We were energized as each door and drawer was transformed from drab and dull to stylish and sophisticated. This borough is known as “on top of the palisades” for its Hudson River bank, and this daughter homeowner is surely on top of the world with this newly renovated heart of her home.
