In the heart of Elk Grove, CA, a full-scale kitchen transformation has brought elegance, innovation, and exceptional craftsmanship to a well-loved home. This stunning project, completed by America’s Dream HomeWorks—a trusted, family-owned remodeling company with over two decades of experience—exemplifies luxury living with personalized design and high-performance features.
The original kitchen was fully demolished, making way for a space that is now as functional as it is visually striking. From layout redesign to the finest finishing details, every step was guided by expert designer David C., with seamless execution by project manager Andrey B. and coordination support from Julie T.
The cabinetry, crafted from the DreamLine Genesis Stained Series, features a Clear Stain over premium Alder wood with a Custom Matte Finish and distinctive white outline paneling. The narrow shaker door and drawer fronts add a modern, sleek element while maintaining a timeless appeal. Behind the beauty lies unmatched durability, with 3/4” calibrated maple plywood boxes, dovetail drawer construction, and soft-close functionality throughout. The natural grain of the alder wood adds an organic warmth, grounding the kitchen’s polished design with texture and depth.
Storage solutions were a top priority in this redesign. The cabinetry includes a built-in appliance garage, dedicated spice storage, utensil organizers, and a built-in waste pullout system. These built-ins help maintain a clean, organized look, ensuring the beauty of the cabinetry is never disrupted by clutter.
The countertops are finished in Silestone Countertops Eternal Calacatta Gold from Cosentino. With a polished surface, eased edge, and 3CM thickness, they radiate luxury and practicality. This quartz surface not only adds visual drama with its rich veining and golden undertones, but also offers resilience to stains, scratches, and heat.
A full-height stone backsplash on the range wall continues the luxe feel, creating visual continuity and ease of cleaning. On adjacent walls, a complementary tile backsplash from Elysium—Chevron Calacatta Gold Polished—11×11—adds a geometric accent that introduces movement and elegance. These dual backsplash styles work harmoniously to distinguish key zones of the kitchen.
Additional standout features include an undercabinet LED lighting system for optimal task lighting, floating Alder shelves with integrated notched LED strips, and the new Alside 80 Series kitchen window that opens the space with fresh natural light. The result is a space that feels open, bright, and deeply inviting.
Beneath the aesthetic appeal lies a kitchen built for daily life. Appliances from the GE Café line bring commercial-level capability with home-friendly design. Smart technology features, including Wi-Fi connectivity and precision temperature controls, give homeowners flexibility and control.
Electrical upgrades included all-new LED can lighting, improving both energy efficiency and ambiance. Additional outlets were added where needed to support new appliance layouts. Meanwhile, plumbing hookups were completely updated to accommodate a reconfigured sink, faucet, and dishwasher area. Painting in the kitchen area was completed with a palette chosen to enhance the natural tones of the cabinetry and countertops.
To extend the sophistication beyond the kitchen, Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring in “Light Thunder” was installed throughout the entire downstairs. This wide-plank flooring mimics the look of weathered wood, offering the charm of hardwood with the resilience of luxury vinyl. Its water resistance, scratch-proof surface, and ease of maintenance make it ideal for high-traffic family areas.
The flooring selection ties together kitchen, living, and dining areas, creating a seamless flow from one space to the next. It acts as a canvas that harmonizes every design element—from the rich alder cabinetry to the soft sheen of quartz countertops.
Every element of this remodel was thoughtfully planned and executed to ensure lasting comfort, functionality, and beauty. Custom Richelieu hardware enhances the cabinetry’s refined look, while LED lighting not only illuminates but accentuates the rich textures and finishes.
The inclusion of floating shelves, appliance garage, and smart appliance integration demonstrates a commitment to both modern convenience and high-end aesthetics. Each decision, from cabinet finishes to backsplash pattern, was made with the homeowners’ lifestyle in mind.
One of the most beloved additions by the homeowners was the installation of floating alder shelves with integrated LED lighting. These shelves provide both practical storage and a stylish display space for decorative items, cookbooks, or cherished ceramics—bringing personality to the space without sacrificing its modern elegance.
The attention to lighting in this remodel cannot be overstated. Alongside LED can lights and undercabinet illumination, the natural light welcomed in by the new kitchen window creates an inviting glow throughout the day. The thoughtful layering of light sources ensures the space feels warm in the evening and fresh and energizing each morning.
With the combined talents of the ADH team, the homeowners now enjoy a kitchen that isn’t just remodeled, but reinvented. The space honors craftsmanship, caters to modern living, and is undeniably beautiful in every detail. From cabinet structure to stonework, every choice speaks to quality, design intelligence, and a desire to elevate daily living.
At America’s Dream HomeWorks, we believe every remodel should reflect the unique spirit of the home and those who live in it. This Elk Grove project is a true showcase of that mission, turning vision into reality and creating a space the homeowners will enjoy for many years to come.
