In the heart of San Carlos, CA, a recent project by America’s Dream HomeWorks brought a refreshing blend of natural warmth and clean, modern sophistication to life. With a focus on premium custom cabinetry and quartz countertops, this remodel showcases how a minimalist vision can be elevated by striking materials and expert craftsmanship.
The highlight of this project is the installation of DreamLine’s SHINNOKI Real Wood Veneer System in a sleek Desert Oak finish. With its natural grain and warm tones, the Desert Oak cabinetry creates a serene, organic feel in the kitchen. The slab-style doors keep the look clean and modern, allowing the richness of the wood veneer to shine without distraction.
This isn’t just cabinetry—it’s functional design. The DreamLine SHINNOKI system blends durability with elegance, providing seamless storage that supports both cooking and entertaining. It’s the perfect foundation for a modern kitchen where form and function meet.
Every panel of this Desert Oak cabinetry was carefully selected to maintain grain continuity and uniform coloration throughout the space. The cabinetry not only enhances the kitchen’s aesthetic but also improves overall utility with generous internal storage solutions that include soft-close functionality and efficient layout planning.
Complementing the cabinetry is a countertop and backsplash selection that adds depth and refinement. The kitchen features 2CM Azurite polished quartz from Bedrosians, known for its dramatic veining and crystalline texture. Used as both countertop and full-height backsplash, the Azurite quartz transforms the kitchen into a visually captivating space.
In the powder room and master bathroom, 2CM Calacatta Miraggio polished quartz from MSI Surfaces brings a touch of classic luxury. Its soft veining and marble-like aesthetic offer timeless elegance, tying the entire home together with a consistent sense of quality and design.
The quartz was expertly mitered to a 2.5” thickness, including waterfall edges on the peninsula—further elevating the kitchen’s refined appearance. This not only amplifies the stone’s visual impact but also demonstrates the level of precision and craftsmanship applied to every surface by the ADH installation team.
Led by designer David Ch, with project manager Andrey B and coordinator Julie T, this remodel reflects the kind of teamwork that defines America’s Dream HomeWorks. Every element—from veneer selection to quartz fabrication—was curated with the client’s vision in mind. The result is a beautifully tailored home upgrade that balances high-end materials with practical beauty.
The collaboration between the ADH team and the homeowners was central to the project’s success. From early design consultations to layout refinements, strong communication ensured that every decision reflected both the homeowners’ lifestyle and the desired aesthetic. This partnership created a space that feels deeply personal while showcasing exceptional design standards.
This San Carlos kitchen remodel is a shining example of how custom cabinetry and quartz countertops can completely transform a home’s atmosphere. When quality, design, and execution align, the results speak for themselves—warm, inviting, and built to last.
