Exploring Countertop Options at Lakeside Surfaces:
My journey began at the Lakeside Surfaces Countertop Inspiration Gallery in Kentwood, MI. Although they take walk-ins, I scheduled an appointment with a design consultant at the Gallery. With an impressive array of over 200 countertop options, the designer at Lakeside Surfaces guided me to the perfect material for my space. Their design consultant guided me through the selection process, considering factors such as ambiance, durability, and tonality. With samples in hand, I returned home to see how my favorite quartz choices would coordinate with my existing flooring and lighting. After careful consideration, the luxurious Tiffany Gold Quartz by ENVI captured my heart, promising to elevate my kitchen to new heights of sophistication and style. Quartz countertops offer stunning aesthetics but unparalleled durability and low maintenance—a winning combination that sealed the deal for me. With Lakeside Surfaces, I felt confident that my countertop selection would set the stage for a kitchen transformation like no other.
Crafting Cabinet Colors with Shelly’s Kitchens:
Once the foundation of my kitchen design was laid with exquisite quartz countertops, it was time to focus on the cabinets. Enter Shelly’s Kitchens, a renowned cabinet painter known for their expertise in creating durable kitchen environments. Collaborating with Shelly’s Kitchens was an absolute pleasure. Their designer visited my home, meticulously assessing the space and offering invaluable guidance on cabinet and wall colors. Opting to retain my custom cabinets, we embarked on a journey to breathe new life into them through repainting. Shelly’s Kitchens recommended using Envirolak, a durable and environmentally friendly wood coating perfectly suited to enhance the craftsmanship of my existing cabinets. Together, we finalized the cabinet and wall colors, ensuring seamless integration with the overall aesthetic of my kitchen.
