Five Ideas For Your Kitchen Remodel

Are you planning to remodel your kitchen? At Rob Shea Carpentry, we are happy to assist with jobs of any size. We have a service division that was created in order to take care of smaller projects, such as kitchen remodels, for clients just like you.

In this blog, we’ll share five kitchen remodeling styles to inspiration you. Once you make up your mind, we can install custom, built-in cabinets and furniture in your kitchen to create a space you will love.

Traditional Style

The traditional kitchen style is timeless and elegant. It features classic design elements like:
  • ornate cabinetry
  • cupboards with paneled or glass doors
  • icebox or latched hardware
  • vintage light fixtures.
When entering a traditional kitchen, you would often find yourself walking across a hardwood floor and looking at countertops made of natural materials like granite or marble. A traditionally-styled kitchen creates a cozy and welcoming atmosphere emphasizing the importance of spending time with family and friends.

Modern Style

The modern kitchen style is all about clean lines, simplicity, and functionality. Its key elements are:
  • sleek handleless cabinets of two or more colors and finishes
  • stainless steel appliances
  • reflective surfaces made of high-tech materials like quartz.
If you are looking to add a futuristic vibe to your house, the cutting-edge design of a modern kitchen would be a perfect choice.

Rustic Style

The rustic kitchen style is inspired by the natural beauty of the outdoors. It features elements like:
  • exposed wood beams
  • stone walls
  • natural materials like slate and clay tiles
  • wooden flooring and cabinets.
Rustic kitchens often have a warm, cozy feel, with a focus on earthy colors and textures.

Farmhouse Style

The farmhouse kitchen style is another popular choice, featuring a mix of traditional and rustic elements. This style typically includes features like:
  • shaker-style cabinets
  • apron-front sinks
  • open shelving
  • cabinetry with traditional raised panel designs.
Soft, muted colors like cream, beige, and light blue help to create a comfortable, inviting atmosphere. If you want to create a weekend getaway vibe in your very own home, choose this style for your kitchen.

Coastal Style

The coastal kitchen style is perfect for those who love the beach and the sea. This style typically features light, airy colors like white, beige, and pale blue. Nautical elements like rope, driftwood, and sea glass are often used as decorative accents. The coastal style common features are:
  • rattan or wicker furniture
  • window treatments that let as much sunlight in as possible
  • waterproof flooring.
A coastal style kitchen is the perfect place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or a leisurely dinner with family and friends.

Now that we’ve explored five common kitchen styles, we hope you’re feeling inspired to start planning your own kitchen remodelling project!

What Our Clients
Say

The experience we had with Rob Shea from designing and building our new deck and replacing the old deck was outstanding. He is a true professional and the work was completed on schedule and to our satisfaction. The lead carpenter and team working with him did a fantastic job in communicating throughout the process and ensured we were pleased with the decks. We would highly recommend Rob and will make sure to tell our friends. We now will “sit back” and enjoy the new deck.
Rob Shed
We would like to take this opportunity to share our thanks to Rob, Ian and the crew for the successful build of our deck and pergola. The total experience from proposal, contract and actual build was very professional and completed within the contracted time frame and at quote. Rob and his team were a pleasure to work with. We were on a rst name basis with the crew and would often discuss minor changes with Rob or Ian for completion. The old business concept of “the customer is always right” , which in our opinion has eroded over the years, was exhibited to us throughout this project. We were always treated with respect. The deck and pergola were built to basic design plans and pictures we provided. The outcome was something we are both happy with and looking forward to enjoying for many years.
Dick and Sue Reyome
Rob Shea has done outstanding work for me personally and also for the summer camp where I work. He built a bed frame for me over a year ago which gets compliments all the time on how well it matches the existing furniture. It has a solid build and looks great! Around the summer camp, Rob has completed a variety of projects including: building a deck, building a frame to hold a stagecurtain for our theater, and giving a make-over to one of the staff cottages. For the cottage, he built new screen doors and windows, front door, and transformed a xed window into one that now opens. Whenever we have an extra project around the camp for which we do not have the skills/tools/time, Rob Shea tops the list of who to call.
Camp Mowglis
Rob Shea did a fantastic job insulating the floors underneath two bedrooms in our Vermont home. It was a tricky job getting underneath those rooms due to the small dirt crawl space, but Rob did the job with no complaint. He was on time, worked within the amount of time as promised, the two bedrooms are much warmer now and his price was very fair. We were very happy with his services and will be calling him again when his services are needed.
Susan Rosano and Dr. Dennis Waring
Rob is tireless and talented! We worked with him on multiple home improvement projects, from bathroom and kitchen renovation to patio and re pit construction. Each project went very smoothly and Rob's expertise and skill was invaluable.
Jon & Mikka Hall
I have used Rob Shea Carpentry many times over the past several years. Rob has done everything in my home from framing mirrors to painting decks, including work in my kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms. He is outstanding and trust worthy. I have no reservations about handing him my keys and have recommended Rob to my friends.
Glenn Steinman
We just had a few projects wrapped up and are very pleased with the work. All staff- from the quoter, to the project manager, to the laborers- were very professional, efficient, quiet frankly, just nice people. I highly recommend and will be using their services again.
Holly
Rob and his crew did several renovation projects for us this spring. They did excellent work at a fair price. We could not be more pleased with the work they did and with our experience working with them, and we will certainly work with them again on any future projects. Highly recommended.
