Bartlett kitchens: before and after
Before
AfterA Bartlett two-story colonial from the 1990s: before and after
A two-story colonial from the 1990s in Bartlett, a typical kitchen for Bartlett. Before: white thermofoil cabinets peeling at the edges, oak trim, white ceramic tile with dark stained grout lines and white appliances. What bothered the owners most: cabinets and a layout that no longer fit how they cook. Finished kitchen: a new layout with an island, cabinets in terracotta, charcoal concrete-look quartz counters and a flush drum fixture and under-cabinet lights.

AfterBartlett kitchen, 1980s two-story: kitchen island & peninsula installation
This one is a 1980s two-story in Bartlett. The kitchen as it was: golden-oak cabinets with oak soffits above and white Corian-style solid surface with a yellowed seam. The main complaint was no central counter for prep and seating. After: a new island in dusty blue with a dark soapstone-look quartz top and seating.
