America’s Dream HomeWorks recently unveiled a breathtaking custom kitchen remodel in the beautiful community of El Macero, CA. This project blends timeless elegance with contemporary flair, spotlighting natural walnut cabinetry and a bright painted finish for a truly high-end aesthetic. Designed and built to impress, this kitchen is not just a space for cooking—it’s a showpiece that enhances the heart of the home.
At the core of the transformation is the cabinetry—a flawless pairing of DreamLine’s GENESIS Stained Series and SEGUE Painted Series. The perimeter cabinets feature Swiss Coffee-painted maple, while the island and accent pieces showcase a luxurious walnut wood in a clear finish. Both utilize a Slim Shaker door style, offering a sleek and modern silhouette while honoring timeless craftsmanship.
The custom-built hood, paired with matte black hardware, gives the kitchen a striking focal point above the Thermador 36” dual-fuel stove. This thoughtful contrast of light and dark, stain and paint, makes the kitchen visually rich without overwhelming the senses.
Beyond aesthetics, this cabinetry combination elevates the kitchen’s atmosphere, offering a space that feels simultaneously fresh and grounded. The slim shaker design makes the space feel open and uncluttered, perfect for a modern yet warm living experience. The walnut cabinets, with their organic grain and matte sheen, bring the richness of natural material indoors—adding both texture and soul.
Countertops were a major design feature in this remodel, using 2.5” mitered Quartzite in Tempest White. The waterfall edge design on the island adds dramatic elegance while highlighting the stone’s natural veining and subtle shimmer. It’s not just beautiful—it’s also highly durable and ideal for everyday culinary tasks.
The full-height backsplash from TILEBAR completes the look, delivering texture and continuity while protecting the walls with a surface that’s as easy to maintain as it is eye-catching. The pairing of stone with Quartz Countertops and Why They’re the Perfect Choice for Your Home further emphasizes the commitment to timeless, durable materials that balance both utility and artistry.
The sleek integration of the KARRAN stainless steel sink and GROHE faucet reinforces the seamless nature of the countertop installation. These elements, while functional, act as design-forward accessories that elevate the kitchen’s efficiency and form.
Rounding out the space is wide-plank RIVA engineered hardwood in the smoky “Character” grade tone. With its 10” width and warm undertones, it grounds the design and connects the kitchen visually to the rest of the home.
Every high-performance kitchen needs high-performance appliances. This remodel includes a full Thermador package from DreamHome Appliance: a 36” dual-fuel stove, 42” French door refrigerator, 36” hood insert, 24” dishwasher, and a 30” double oven. The result is a chef-grade kitchen that is equally suitable for daily cooking and entertaining on a grand scale.
Equipped with a new appliance garage, built-in spice storage, and heavy-duty mixer lift systems, the cabinetry was also tailored for daily convenience. These upgrades provide not only improved functionality but also underscore the customized nature of the remodel.
From initial design to final detail, this project exemplified the strong collaboration between our team and the homeowners. Designer David Ch provided clear, creative direction, while project manager Vlad G and coordinator Julie T ensured smooth execution from start to finish.
The client’s vision was brought to life through a deep understanding of both form and function, resulting in a kitchen that is as efficient as it is elegant. Every decision—from cabinet tones to faucet finishes—was made with precision and purpose.
This kitchen remodel in El Macero isn’t just a renovation—it’s a reinvention. It captures the essence of modern California living, blending natural materials, custom craftsmanship, and high-end performance in one unforgettable space.
From the initial sketches to the final wipe-down of the counters, this remodel is a showcase of meticulous craftsmanship and top-tier materials. It’s a testament to what can be achieved when design ambition meets expert execution.
This showstopper walnut and painted kitchen isn’t just stylish—it’s smart. Blending cutting-edge appliances, ergonomic cabinet systems, and cohesive finishes, it proves that luxury and livability can go hand in hand.
