Welcome to Kitchen of the Month, our recurring series where we take you behind the scenes of one of our recently completed projects and walk through the details that brought it to life. This month’s feature is a standout. What does a full kitchen transformation really look like from start to finish? Think new slim shaker cabinets, a custom 48” wood range hood, Cambria quartz countertops and wall cladding, and two-tone cabinet painting in Pure White and Tricorn Black, all tied together with hardwood floor refinishing across the entire first floor. This is our Kitchen of the Month, and it’s one you won’t want to miss.

Projects like this are becoming increasingly popular for homeowners throughout Columbus, Westerville, Dublin, and surrounding areas looking for a more cohesive home update.
When the homeowner came to us, they weren’t looking for a quick fix. They wanted everything. New cabinets, custom millwork, premium surfaces, and floors that could keep up. This is what a full ground-up kitchen makeover looks like when no detail gets left behind.
The Two-Tone Color Scheme
Two-tone kitchens have been having a moment, and this cabinet painting project showcases why. Upper cabinets in Sherwin Williams Pure White keep things bright and open. The island in Tricorn Black grounds the whole space. Together, they create that contrast that makes you stop and look twice.
The Custom 48″ Wood Range Hood
Walk into this kitchen and your eyes go straight to the hood. A custom 48-inch wood range hood finished in Tricorn Black to match the island. It anchors the space and ties everything together in a way that feels intentional and elevated.
Beneath it, an eight-burner range now sits where the old refrigerator once stood, and behind it, Cambria quartz wall cladding runs the full width, with bold white and grey veining creating a striking contrast against the matte black hood and stainless steel range. Every element works together.
This isn’t off-the-shelf. The hood was thoughtfully designed with clean lines, balanced proportions, and a cohesive finish that makes the entire space feel complete.
Cabinets, Crown Molding & Millwork
Before Photos:
After Photos:
The slim shaker door profile is clean, modern, and enhanced by under-cabinet lighting. Decorative shaker crown molding takes it to the next level. In the before photos you can see how the layout changed. The old curved island came out and a clean, rectangular Tricorn Black island went in. The refrigerator relocated to where the ovens were, now beautifully framed by tall Pure White pantry cabinets on either side. The cooking range moved into the spot where the fridge once stood, directly below the new custom black hood. The result is a kitchen that makes sense to cook in, and looks extraordinary doing it.
As a local cabinet refinishing company, we work on everything from cabinet painting refreshes to full builds like this one. The millwork is always where you see the difference. It’s the detail that makes a kitchen feel custom rather than just new.
Cambria Quartz, Porcelain Sink & Wall Cladding
Cambria quartz was chosen for the new countertops, and wall cladding. Running the same material from surface to backsplash eliminates grout lines, simplifies the visual, and gives the whole kitchen that seamless, high-end feel.
The porcelain apron sink anchors the perimeter run perfectly, classic in shape, substantial in presence. Paired with the custom faucet, the whole sink area feels like it was styled as much as it was built.
The Custom Corner Drawer (No Lazy Susan)
No lazy susan. Instead, a custom three-drawer corner cabinet built specifically for this space. If you’ve ever dug around in a spinning corner cabinet looking for something buried in the back, you already know why this upgrade matters. Full access. Clean lines. Everything right where you need it. It’s a small custom storage solution that makes a big difference every single day.
Full First-Floor Hardwood Floor Refinishing
The kitchen was only half of it. The homeowner also had us sand, refinish, and re-stain the entire first floor of their home. With new cabinets and fresh floors working together, the whole space reads as one cohesive vision rather than a room that got updated and a house that didn’t.
Hardwood floor refinishing is one of those transformations that surprises people every time. Sand down to bare wood, choose your stain, and the floors that felt tired and worn become something you actually want to show off.
If you’ve been on the fence about hardwood floor refinishing, let this project be your sign.
Why This Project Stands Out
Most kitchen projects touch one or two things. This one touched everything, a complete layout redesign, cabinet painting, custom millwork, a bold black range hood over a professional cooking range, Cambria quartz countertops, and full first-floor hardwood floor refinishing to bring it all together. Every single detail was considered. Nothing was an afterthought. And the result is a home that doesn’t just look better, it feels completely transformed.
That’s the standard we hold ourselves to on every project at N-Hance Wood Refinishing of Columbus. Whether it’s a full kitchen makeover or a hardwood floor refinishing, we want the homeowner to walk in when it’s done and feel like the space was always meant to look this way.
