America's Dream HomeWorks

Elegant Two-Tone Kitchen Remodel in Folsom

 

America’s Dream HomeWorks proudly completed a stunning kitchen remodel in Folsom, CA,
transforming a dated space into a bright, sophisticated centerpiece of the home.
Finished in November and designed by Michael Fl, this project—managed by Andrey B and
coordinated by Julie T—showcases how thoughtful planning, premium materials, and expert
craftsmanship can completely redefine a kitchen.

A Fresh Layout with Elevated Design

This kitchen remodel began with a full demolition of the existing cabinets, countertops,
sink, faucet, flooring, lighting, and backsplash. The goal was not just to replace
materials, but to reimagine the space for improved flow, brightness, and everyday
functionality.

The new cabinetry features the DreamLine Custom Cabinetry Paint Finish System in a striking
two-tone combination: Painted White Dove paired with Alder Carbon stain. The Shaker Artesia
door style, used in both painted and stained finishes, reflects the elevated standards seen
in high-end custom cabinetry projects. The contrast between the crisp white perimeter
cabinets and the rich, warm alder tones creates depth and visual interest without
overwhelming the space.

Beyond aesthetics, the cabinetry was designed for optimal storage and efficiency. Carefully
planned layouts allow for better organization of cookware, pantry items, and daily
essentials—making the kitchen as practical as it is beautiful.

Sophisticated Surfaces and Statement Stone

The countertops feature Ostara Dawn 2CM from Vadara, a refined quartz surface known for its
elegant veining and durability. Its soft movement complements the White Dove cabinetry while
harmonizing beautifully with the deeper Alder Carbon tones. Durable, low-maintenance, and
resistant to everyday wear, this countertop material is comparable to premium Silestone
countertop solutions used in luxury remodels.

For homeowners considering surface upgrades, this type of installation reflects the value of
professional countertop replacement services that balance performance and design.

The backsplash—Gems Caraibi 5×10 tile from MSI—adds texture and subtle color variation,
bringing a handcrafted feel to the kitchen. Installed with precision, it enhances the
vertical space and ties together the cabinetry and countertop selections seamlessly.

Lighting, Windows, and Architectural Enhancements

Lighting played a major role in this transformation. The installation of four LED can lights
and two pendant lights ensures balanced illumination throughout the kitchen. Task lighting
enhances prep areas, while pendant fixtures provide both function and visual appeal over key
gathering zones.

Additionally, two new windows were installed, dramatically increasing natural light and
creating a brighter, more welcoming atmosphere. The added daylight highlights the
character-grade RIVA Tierra engineered hardwood flooring in the color Cielo. With its
8-inch width, 5/8-inch thickness, and rich natural variation, the flooring grounds the
kitchen in warmth and sophistication—similar to the craftsmanship seen in professional
hardwood flooring installations.

Premium Fixtures for Everyday Living

At the heart of the workspace sits the Karran QAWS-740-WH sink, paired with a Kraus faucet
(Model: KPF-1680ORB). This combination blends durability with refined design, offering both
style and high-performance functionality. The oil-rubbed bronze finish of the faucet
complements the two-tone cabinetry and hardware selections.

Cabinet pulls (BP790128900 & BP872634900) were carefully selected to add subtle contrast
and enhance the clean lines of the Shaker Artesia doors. These details may seem small, but
they contribute significantly to the cohesive and polished look of the final space—hallmarks
of a thoughtfully executed kitchen remodel.

Collaboration That Brings Vision to Life

As with every project, strong collaboration between our team and customers was at the core
of this remodel. From material selection to layout refinement, the homeowners were actively
involved in shaping their dream kitchen. Our team ensured every detail was executed with
precision, transparency, and a commitment to service quality.

The result is a bright, elegant, and highly functional kitchen that reflects modern
California living—where natural light, premium materials, and thoughtful design come
together effortlessly.
