A family decides on two-toned kitchen cabinets and whether wallpaper in the bathroom is a good idea

Homeowners: Allison and Tim had a vision for a sage green kitchen and decided to post their project on Sweeten
Where: Kips Bay neighborhood in Manhattan, New York
Primary renovation: Kitchen and bathroom in their 1960s complex designed by architect I.M. Pei
With: Sweeten general contractor
Homeowner’s quote: “It would have taken us a ton of time vetting contractors on our own if we hadn’t used Sweeten. They made it easier to communicate with the ones who were actually interested in a project my size and provide competitive bids.”

A renovation date on the calendar

My partner, Tim, who is in the solar industry, and I, a project manager live in our 1,200-square-foot condo with our children, Vivienne and Nicholas. After putting any renovations on hold for a couple of years, we couldn’t wait any longer when our primary shower started leaking on to our neighbors below. Luckily, this gave us the opportunity to also upgrade our kitchen.

There were many reasons to overhaul our primary bathroom. The shower door leaked constantly and the tile had lost its integrity too. Style-wise, the decor was entirely dated with traditional light fixtures, beige tiles, and mustard color on the walls. In the kitchen, the existing layout completely closed it in as a galley. We saw that the space had much more potential. For example, its builder-grade cabinets were falling apart and ready to be replaced. Our plan was to start over in the bathroom and focus on maximizing storage and establishing more functionality.

Bathroom bonus: Extra storage

We were thrilled that our Sweeten contractor was able to fit a full-sized closet in the bathroom alongside extra shelves for linens. The floors are marble and for the walls we chose subway tile for the timeless and sophisticated look we wanted. In fact, getting rid of all that ugly beige tile in one day was one of our favorite parts of the renovation. A bonus feature for us: a ledge for shaving and a shampoo niche!

The one hiccup we encountered was with our shower system delivery, which had a special modern brass finish and required a longer delivery timeline. It was backordered and ended up taking eight months to ship. As a result, the plumber had to return months later after the renovation was done to put in the final trim pieces.

Instagram inspired me to try a bold wallpaper to bring some color and interest to our windowless bathroom and neutral tile. I bought this floral pattern as a peel-and-stick since I wasn’t ready to commit to it. But after a few weeks, the wallpaper would peel away every time I took a shower. By this time, I totally loved the pattern so I invested in the traditional paste version. There’s been no problem with moisture since.

A kitchen in sage green is the new neutral

The design plan was to give the kitchen customized functionality and a mid-century modern aesthetic. We chose white Shaker cabinets for the uppers and a flat panel door in sage green for the lowers. Our Sweeten general contractor also created a special niche in the peninsula for a step stool to slide in and out. My son uses it to cook alongside me and I use it when I need to reach the highest shelves.

We were thrilled that our contractor was able to fit a full-sized closet in the bathroom alongside extra shelves for linens.

I was drawn to the hexagon shape for our cabinet pulls and made it a theme in the kitchen. A medium-sized hex tile on the floor has a nice natural finish. We just love its soft organic feel under bare feet. The pattern continues on the geometric pendants over the island.

All of the materials we chose were subtle enough to add another shape. So, we brought in a mini vertical stacked bond in marble tile for the backsplash. It felt like the right way to tie in the modern mid-century look. We kept the countertop a pure white quartz so it wouldn’t compete. The day the countertop arrived was a complete transformation for the kitchen.

Sweeten contractor with the right connections

Our Sweeten contractor tapped into his experience and saved the day when we had trouble finding a countertop vendor. Everyone we contacted had a backlog of work. Luckily, he brought in his own subcontractor, who came in the next day to measure and then the following day to install the material. It was a miracle.

Throughout the project, we worked well with our contractor. It would have taken us a ton of time vetting contractors on our own if we hadn’t worked with Sweeten. They made it easier to communicate with the ones who were actually interested in a project my size and provide competitive bids.

Now that we’ve gone through the renovation process, we advise being very specific about what you want in the contract. Don’t assume the contractor will understand exactly what you want. If you find an issue with the workmanship, show your contractor what the problem is right away. They’ll be happier to know about it before it’s too late to fix it. In the end, we spent about $45,000 on our renovation and we’re really proud that we live in such a beautiful space.

Thank you, Allison and Tim, for sharing your new spaces with us!

Good timing for a renovation

I made my first home purchase during COVID in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. My condo is located in a building built in 2020 and is steps away from the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and the Brooklyn Museum. I was renting in the Flatbush area and my lease wasn’t ending immediately. So, it allowed me to do the renovation before I moved in.

Inspired by a country feel and green kitchens

Although it was new construction, the kitchen felt very dark to me and had a kind of ‘80s vibe. The backsplash had square tiles and dark grout; it reminded me of graph paper.

I also wasn’t a huge fan of the cabinets. Although I like color, I preferred a more airy green kitchen color instead of the existing darker cabinets. The kitchen design I wanted was a farmhouse feel, and choosing Shaker-style cabinets would get me there. The open layout of the existing kitchen worked well functionally, so the renovation would be surface only.

As a first-time renovator, I posted my project on Sweeten. They were a great resource for researching contractors, renovation cost guides, and budgets. Starting a conversation with contractors can definitely be intimidating if you haven’t done it before. I would have been pretty lost in terms of finding a reputable professional who I felt was trustworthy.

"We would schedule check-ins every few weeks where I could see the progress on-site, check out samples, and get any questions answered."

Spotlight on sage green kitchen cabinets

Our general contractor custom-made the cabinets. At first we were thinking of just ordering cabinets and painting them, but I think the end result came out really well. I had been thinking about green kitchen cabinets for a long time. Sage green kitchen cabinets have color but is a tone that isn’t overwhelming.

The fixtures would be black to complement the sink which I was planning to keep. I chose a clean white subway tile for the backsplash to maintain a calm and bright look. I think it came out beautifully.

We replaced the old floating shelves with walnut. These would be wall-hung and flushed to the wall, which were more streamlined than the previous ones. Luckily, the existing wood floor was a neutral tone, so no changes were needed for the flooring.

I wasn’t living in the space yet but the renovation went smoothly. I lucked out! The only hiccup was when the entire range hood had to be moved to replace the backsplash which was time-consuming.

The right contractor delivers a dream kitchen

Before the project started, I was mostly concerned with making sure the condo would be done before my lease was up. I had also heard a lot of horror stories about delays, misinformation, and cost overruns. Sweeten was a great renovation resource in making me feel comfortable undertaking the project.

My Sweeten contractor was great to work with. He was very communicative and patient with me as a first-time homeowner and renovator! We would schedule check-ins every few weeks where I could see the progress on-site, check out samples, and get any questions answered.

I love how bright, airy, and clean the new kitchen feels. I also really like the floating shelves. It’s a nice way to display my pottery and glassware that would usually be hidden in a cabinet somewhere.

6 Green Kitchen Cabinet Ideas for Modern Color

Kate Marsanico — Tue, 01 Mar 2022 14:23:18 +0000

From sage green to dark green cabinets, there are plenty of shades outside of white

Modern green kitchen cabinets are having a moment. This classic hue seems to be popping up in kitchen designs everywhere. And for good reason. Shades of green can act as a neutral base for other statement pieces in the room. Or, it can be the star itself, adding a dramatic sense of style.

Along with blue, green is one of the most common colors found in nature. And bringing the outdoors in has always been a popular design choice. It is only fitting that nature’s colors are used in the most often-used room in the home. From dramatic and dark to light and breezy, green is here to stay. Here, Sweeten renovators show how they pulled it off.

Sage green cabinets: nature’s favorite shade

Even though it was new construction, Abby wanted to update her Crown Height condo’s kitchen. To her, it felt dated and dark. She replaced the dark turquoise cabinets with more modern sage green ones. “I thought for a long time about the color,” said Abby. “I wanted color but nothing that would be too overpowering or overwhelming.” To ensure this, Abby went with a white subway tile backsplash and countertops. The sage brings in a vibe of renewal and rejuvenation. Just what the first-time homeowner was searching for.

Abby’s full renovation story coming soon!

Dark green cabinets make a statement

The dark green cabinets in this kitchen are the standouts. And that’s what Sweeten renovators Hannah and Henry were going for. “The color turned out just as we had imagined it,” said Hannah. The green brings a colorful energy to the design that’s not overpowering. The white upper cabinets, gold pulls, and granite countertops are just the right counterbalances to the dark hue.

Agave green cabinets: a hint of color

For Gina and Andrew’s small kitchen, they chose a light green. They were inspired by their co-op’s courtyard. In it, are a lovely mix of green trees, plants, and shrubs. They decided to extend the peaceful, harmonious vibe of the courtyard into the home via light green cabinets. They chose a shade that acts as a perfect backdrop for the warm brass hardware.

Jewel-tone luxury

You can tell this kitchen is the work of a masterful design team. Keren and Thomas Richter of White Arrow chose dramatic, dark green kitchen cabinets for their client’s Brooklyn kitchen. The jewel-tone creates a sense of sophistication and elegance. This vibe is continued in the luxurious gold pulls and marble penny-tile backsplash. “Our client took some creative leaps,” Keren recalled. “The color is a total showstopper, and we are so glad he was game!

All about the (green) base

For their galley kitchen, Maggie, an interior designer, and Adam, a former architect, wanted a design element to help the space feel more open. They chose a modern green kitchen cabinet light enough not to “close-in” the room. However, there is enough green pigment to make a subtle statement against the upper white cabinets. Add in the neutral flooring and white countertops and you have a fresh, clean look for the small space.

A minty kitchen refresh

Laura and Tim decided to update their kitchen. They loved the charm of their circa 1929 townhouse. They wanted to keep that quaint, “old-world” feeling. To do so, they selected Shaker-style cabinets in a mint green. The Shaker cabinets are traditional while the green hue adds a contemporary dimension to the design. “[The green] matches the feel of the old house but is also clean and modern at the same time,” said Laura.

2022 Kitchen Design Trends: Color, Style, and Technology

New kitchen design trends emerge in cabinet styles and technology features

(Above) One of the 2022 kitchen design trends are blue cabinets. Kitchen renovation by Sweeten homeowners Brandi + Chris.

White is on the out and bold colors with wooden features are in.

That’s one of the findings from the National Kitchen & Bath Association’s latest report for 2022. The annual report surveyed more than 700 industry professionals, including designers, architects, contractors, and showroom managers. Their findings provided a snapshot of the trends homeowners are incorporating into kitchens.

Kitchen design trend: Wood grain cabinets

The large number of millennials buying homes is influencing a shift to a more organic feel. White dominated kitchen design in recent years. Now, earthy tones that show off the natural grain of wood are the focus. Homeowners are opting for cabinets or benchtops in light-grain wood, which brings warmth to a design.

These designs can be found as stock items at larger retailers. Custom cabinets can also be designed for perfect fit and function. Experienced general contractors or design-build firms typically have millworkers they resource to create the kitchen to your specifications.

Kitchen colors for 2022

Renovators are blending brave color choices with the wood tones. And green and blue are topping the list of emerging kitchen colors. These colors are appearing on backsplashes, cabinets, and wall paint as well as artwork.

Often brushed gold hardware is the accent of choice adding an even cozier feel to new kitchens.

The kitchen designs in demand for the years to come will be organic and natural looks along with the clean lines and symmetry of contemporary design. Transitional style, a mix of traditional and contemporary design, will be another popular look.

Kitchen technology trends

As homeowners pull inspiration from nature in their kitchen’s appearance, they are utilizing technology in how their kitchen operates. A third of kitchen designs include elements like voice-controlled lighting or appliances operated through a phone or tablet app.

A quarter of new kitchens feature touchless, motion sensor faucets. Our reliance on technology is also impacting kitchen design with our devices getting their own areas for charging and use.

When you’re ready to get started on your kitchen or home remodel, work with a Sweeten contractor and discuss how these trends can be incorporated into your vision.

More square footage in a house

In September of 2020, we bought our home at the height of the Covid pandemic. While it wasn’t the best time to invest in a home for most people, it was the ideal time for us. We were expecting our daughter, Franny, and needed more space than our one-bedroom Manhattan apartment could provide. It took us nine months to find the right house for us—a 1930s Tudor-style home—but once we saw it, we would update the kitchen and laundry into the present while keeping the original charm.

We loved the sunny windows in our home’s kitchen, but the layout wasn’t practical. The refrigerator blocked a corner closet, wasting storage space we desperately needed. We needed to maximize storage and efficiency with additions like upper cabinets. We wanted to keep the large windows and would design around them for a light, airy space.

The laundry room was also an issue. It needed some stylistic changes. The old vinyl flooring looked a bit like a giraffe hide! We posted our project and hired our Sweeten contractor.

A green kitchen finds its charm on a budget

Since the home’s overall style is traditional, some original features would stay, like a gorgeous, built-in hutch.

With buying a new house and a baby on the way, we were very cost-conscious but still wanted to achieve this look. To save money, we kept some existing elements, like the floors and the light fixture.

We were very excited about the green cabinets! The color turned out just as we had imagined it. We kept the upper cabinets white to avoid closing the space in visually. We chose gold pulls and knobs that look beautiful against the soft green. White added a touch of shine, including the granite countertops. The refrigerator was relocated to reclaim the storage, adding shelving and space for appliances like the microwave.

Our contractor worked with us to maximize the storage every step of the way. Thoughtful touches like a pull-out spice rack and a small shelf above the backsplash gave us attractive storage options and added character to the space.

Modern flair in the laundry room

We went modern in the laundry room with oversized, hexagonal floor tile and light wood cabinets with matte black pulls. A floating vanity was wall-mounted to visually enlarge the floor space. The laundry room functioned better by relocating the toilet and sink and switching to a stacked washer/dryer combination. Our contractor suggested a larger, shallow sink ideal for baby baths, which we love.

"[W]e were very cost-conscious but still wanted to achieve this look. To save money, we kept some existing elements, like the floors and the light fixture."

Renovating through the pandemic

Our Sweeten contractor helped us think through the design and get the most use out of the space. They were very responsive to our needs throughout. I was pregnant during the renovation, and we requested that they leave our sink and stove in until the last moment so that we could continue to cook and maintain some of our routines.

Attempting a renovation during the Covid-19 pandemic was challenging. We faced delivery delays, and the work took a little longer because the crew adhered to strict safety protocols which we were grateful for. They were professional and courteous throughout the process of renovating during an incredibly stressful time.

When a house becomes a home

This was our first time renovating a house. We had an idea of what we wanted, but we didn’t know where to start or how much a project like ours would cost. There are a million contractors to choose from in the New York area, so we felt very overwhelmed. Sweeten narrowed it down for us and made it so much easier to get the project started. We trusted the contractors that Sweeten recommended and that if anything were to go wrong, we could count on Sweeten to help sort it out.

The renovation completely changed the feel and function of our house. It is much more than our house; it feels like ‘home’ now. The kitchen turned out exactly how we pictured it.

I love that our new kitchen compliments our backyard. The huge windows allow us to enjoy our garden all the time and make it such a peaceful, happy space.

Thank you, Hannah and Henry, for sharing your light-filled kitchen!

A Galley Kitchen and Patio Remodel Are Renewed as One

Carol Wang — Thu, 23 Jan 2020 17:33:54 +0000

A family reenergizes the back of their home—and adds an extension

Homeowners: Nearly a couple of decades after they bought their home, Laura and Tim posted their galley kitchen remodel on Sweeten
Where: Rego Park, Queens, New York
Primary renovation: Adding square footage to the back of a townhome and updating an ill-organized kitchen
With: Sweeten general contractor

Time for a change

In 2001, Laura and Tim bought and moved into their first home—a 1929 brick townhouse in Queens. The single-family home measures 1,360 square feet on two floors, plus a finished basement. Having raised their family there, the pair were finally ready to tackle some of the issues that had plagued their charming, but problematic, house.

The galley-style kitchen was falling apart and had also suffered water damage from a leaking shower upstairs. A remodel with new cabinets, flooring, and wall treatments had been the initial plan. They had recently purchased new appliances but the rest of the space had gotten “old and grungy,” according to Laura.

A full-extension project

They wanted to create a “comfy, modern kitchen that still matched the period feel in the rest of the house while providing more storage and better flow.” The kitchen also had a drafty door to the patio, which they never used because of its impractical location. An interior designer friend, Suzy Leon of Suzy Leon Design, Ltd., made suggestions, and one thing led to another—taking the homeowners from a kitchen remodel to a full-blown extension project. Laura and Tim posted their project to Sweeten to be connected with vetted remodeling firms who worked in her Queens neighborhood. They then chose their Sweeten contractor to perform the work.

Reorganizing the space

The old patio became part of the kitchen and dining space, and skylights were added to the new ceiling to bring in more light. The kitchen is now a beautifully organized and cheerful space for the family. Since it remained a galley layout, the homeowners chose simple textures and light colors to contrast a wide-plank dark wood floor with some grain and character.

A bright and modern feel

The cabinets have Shaker-style fronts in a minty green, which “matches the feel of the old house but is also clean and modern at the same time.” A tall pantry cabinet opens to reveal a column of drawers for optimal food storage. The white quartz countertop lightens up the space, and an enormous sink means there’ll be enough room for even the largest pots. The oversized undercounter sink has an instant hot faucet, disposal, and stainless steel finish to match the appliances. At one end, a wine fridge provides extra space for beverages next to the refrigerator.

“The kitchen came out beautifully! We love the new flow, the light, and the extra space.” Laura reports that the extension is a lovely addition to the house where guests naturally gravitate, and the skylights add light and fresh air. Moving the doorway between the dining room and kitchen improved the flow to the basement.

Getting things to code

Due to the domino effect often seen in renovations, the basement also had to be brought up to code—with updates to the bathroom and boiler. They also took the renovation as an opportunity to install mini-split systems in the whole house so that they would no longer have to deal with inefficient window units. The homeowners love their new space, and are satisfied with having addressed their long list of broken or less-than-perfect things in the house.

Thank you, Laura and Tim, for sharing your home!
