A complete kitchen makeover using IKEA cabinetry.
This client wanted a full kitchen renovation and opted for IKEA cabinetry. Matt & Nat used IKEA’s kitchen planning tool to help the client get to a final design and parts list, and the client saved money by taking on all of the cabinet assembly (with a quick show-me-how from Matt & Nat). Matt & Nat deconstructed the existing kitchen and widened the doorway to the dining room for improved flow in the overall space. They replaced the subfloor and installed drywall, did the mud/tape/sanding, primed and painted all walls and ceiling including touch up in the adjoining rooms. The scope also included lighting changes to dramatically improve the lighting in the space.
Matt & Nat coordinated timing with the sub-trades (plumber, electrician, flooring, countertop) and the project was delivered on-time and on-budget.
