Striking Kitchen Remodel in Lincoln, CA
In Lincoln, CA, a thoughtful kitchen remodel delivered a perfect balance of bold contrast and natural elegance. With the expertise of America’s Dream HomeWorks—a family-owned, American-made company with over 20 years of remodeling experience—this like-for-like kitchen transformation showcases high-end finishes, clean lines, and practical sophistication.
A Fresh Take on Classic Design
This remodel involved the complete removal of outdated cabinetry, countertops, sink, and faucet, replacing them with stunning new selections that redefined the heart of the home. Designer Shota Sh. led the vision for this project, blending wood tones with dark accents to create a warm and contemporary space. Under the expert management of Vlad G. and seamless coordination by Julie T., every element of the project came together with precision and craftsmanship.
Bold Meets Natural: Custom Cabinetry
At the center of this remodel is the beautifully crafted cabinetry, installed using the DreamLine SHINNOKI Real Wood Veneer System. The base and lower cabinets feature a warm Desert Oak finish that brings an earthy, organic feel to the kitchen. In contrast, the upper cabinets are stained in rich black oak, adding depth and drama while keeping the aesthetic modern.
The cabinetry’s 5-piece Shaker door style offers clean lines and timeless structure, anchoring the design in tradition while embracing a sleek, contemporary edge. Sleek pulls from Richelieu (73 871512816190) were chosen for their minimal yet refined style, perfectly complementing the wood tones.
