First Floor Renovation-Wilmington, DE

This job was one that truly touched our hearts. John and Robin were the sweetest couple, debating whether to make their longtime home more functional or move into senior living. They chose to renovate — and we couldn’t be happier they did!

Kitchen Features

John and Robin had clearly been dreaming about this space for some time — their wish list was detailed and thoughtfully planned. Wellborn Cabinetry delivered on every account. Charging stations beside the fridge let the grandchildren power up their iPads, and Robin’s collection of antique blue glass jars set the tone for the backsplash and countertop selections.

We used the Premier Series in the kitchen, choosing the Saybrook MDF door to prevent joint separation over time on the painted finish. Cambria Pendle Hill countertops tied into Robin’s collection beautifully and were complemented by Traditional Soapstone on the island. Wellborn allowed us to custom design the island to feel more like a furniture piece than traditional cabinetry.

Laundry Room Features

This room transformation was one for the books, taking the space to a far more functional level. We even engineered the bench to disassemble so the appliances could be serviced in the future. The kitchen colors, Dove Gray & Divinity, were carried into this space as well. A shiplap wall served as a focal point and provided storage for hats and coats, while the same Traditional Soapstone from the kitchen island was crafted into a custom soapstone sink for the laundry room.

A True One-Stop Shop

Removing the soffits was an involved process — it required relocating the plumbing and re-drywalling the ceiling. But the result was worth it, dramatically opening up the space to allow for 39″ upper cabinets and new lighting throughout the first floor. The old tile was uneven and dated, so new patterned tile was carried through the kitchen, family room, laundry room, and bathroom for a cohesive look.

From start to finish, we handled it all: flooring, cabinetry, countertops, backsplash, plumbing, electrical, and carpentry installation. This transformation was one for the books, and we hope it’s a space John and Robin will enjoy with their beautiful family for years to come!
