Modern Kitchen Refresh in San Diego – Jasmine’s Story

Stylish, affordable, and done with care. See how we helped Jasmine create a kitchen that truly feels like home.

Before & After: A Kitchen That Feels Like Home

Project Spotlight: Modern Kitchen Refresh in San Diego

When Jasmine moved into her new San Diego home, she was excited—but the kitchen didn’t feel like hers. She dreamed of adding a modern touch to the space where she’d spend so much of her time, but after investing heavily in the home purchase, she needed a solution that didn’t break the bank.

The Problem

The kitchen felt outdated and impersonal. Jasmine wanted a fresh, clean look—but without the cost of a full remodel.

The Solution

We kept the high-quality cabinets that were already in great shape and focused on impactful updates: modern floor tile, a clean stacked-stone backsplash, and crisp baseboard trim. This strategy gave Jasmine the custom feel she wanted—without overspending.

Smart Design, Budget-Minded Execution

Together, we crafted a detailed plan that prioritized what really mattered. From day one, Jasmine had a clear timeline, trusted communication, and peace of mind. The entire kitchen refresh was completed in just a couple of weeks, transforming the space into something bright, modern, and uniquely hers.

What This Project Meant

This wasn’t a full remodel—it was a smart refresh with real impact.
Now Jasmine enjoys a kitchen that feels brand new, reflects her personal style, and fits her budget—so she can start making memories in her new home.

Behind the Build: Step-by-Step Kitchen Refresh

1. Project Prep and Layout

We began by prepping the space and confirming layout for tile, trim, and backsplash while protecting the existing cabinetry.

2. Backsplash Tile Cutting

Tiles were precision-cut outdoors using a wet saw to reduce dust and ensure a perfect fit inside.

3. Backsplash Installation

We installed stacked marble mosaic backsplash tile—adding texture, brightness, and style to the entire kitchen.

4. Subfloor Prep and Tile Layout

After cleaning and prepping the floor, we laid out the pattern and spacing for the large-format porcelain tiles.

5. Floor Tile Installation Begins

Tile was installed cleanly and symmetrically, giving the kitchen a spacious, high-end look that’s easy to maintain.

6. Final Tile Edging and Grouting

We completed transitions between rooms and applied grout for a seamless, polished finish.

7. Baseboard Trim Installation

New white baseboards were added for contrast and to give the kitchen a fully finished perimeter.

8. Final Result – Completed Kitchen

The refreshed kitchen is sleek, bright, and modern—with quality materials and Jasmine’s personal touch throughout.

The Finished Kitchen – Stylish, Clean, and Personal

In just a couple of weeks, Jasmine’s kitchen was transformed. With smart design choices and careful craftsmanship, we delivered a finished space that looks brand new—without replacing a single cabinet. See the final results below and discover how a refresh can make your kitchen truly yours.
