Beginning and Ending
When the Handwerger family reached out to us, they had recently purchased their home in the beautiful neighborhood of Poway. They loved the house but felt the kitchen didn’t align with their style or needs. It lacked the modern touches and clean look they envisioned.
During the initial consultation, the family shared their dream of creating a space that felt both luxurious and functional. They wanted a kitchen where they could cook, entertain, and enjoy family time without worrying about maintenance or wear and tear.
We guided them through every decision, from selecting the perfect shade of Alabaster to pairing it with Calacatta Infinita quartz countertops. The transformation was stunning, and seeing the Handwerger family’s excitement at the final reveal made all the effort worthwhile.
