Mid Century Modern Kitchen Renovation

Maintaining the integrity of this Mid Century Modern home was an important part of the design process for this kitchen remodel. Our goal was to enhance the home’s signature clean lines while improving functionality, flow, and storage.

Smart Layout Changes

  • Removed the peninsula by combining the oven and cooktop into a high-end range

  • Moved the refrigerator to the end of the cabinet run, opening up countertop prep space

  • Created a dedicated undercabinet space for the microwave

  • Replaced the cantilevered table with a full wall of base cabinets and drawer stacks

Mid Century-Friendly Materials

  • Slab-front cabinet doors and drawer fronts in Rift White Oak

  • Honed Black Milky Way granite countertops with a matte finish

  • Terrazzo-look ceramic tile flooring in a large 12×24 format

The Result

This remodel strikes the perfect balance: it feels true to the original Mid Century Modern aesthetic while offering all the conveniences of modern living. The kitchen is now open, efficient, and ready for daily use — without losing its timeless style.

This kitchen, so ready for updates, goes from a mild maple 90’s vibe to a totally modern right now vibe right here in Springfield, IL.

At first glance, this looks like a total gut and remodel of a nice but dated kitchen. But not all great transformations come at the expense of removing all the cabinets.

  • These perimeter cabinets are the original cabinet boxes, doors removed and replaced with new, and the cabinet frames painted to match new doors.
  • Island cabinets are new, reconfigured for better storage.
  • Custom vent hood created for the wow-factor!
  • Original appliances replaced.
  • Backsplash tile removed and replaced with new.
  • New flooring from entry through kitchen, laundry and half bath.

OHHHHHHH – and that fabulous honed granite throughout and chiseled edge on the island! It’s called focusing on what is important to you!

  • Maximizing space for a coffee center as well as second oven
