Created a whole new look and feel for this Shawnee Ks kitchen
June 7, 2026
This Shawnee, KS kitchen received a complete makeover from Riley Designs Kc. The project focused on practical updates and a fresh new look, starting with the removal of the old island and finishing with a two toned cabinet paint job. Every change was planned to improve the kitchen's layout, function, and appearance for the homeowners.
We began by removing the existing island to clear the space and make room for a new, custom-built island. After demolition, our team constructed and installed the new island on site. The installation was sized and placed to work with the existing traffic patterns, providing a more functional central workspace and a cleaner overall flow through the kitchen.
Along with the new island, we installed a new vent hood over the stove. Upgrading the ventilation helped modernize the cooking area and improved air movement when the stove is in use. The vent hood also creates a visual focal point, tying together the stove and surrounding cabinetry for a cohesive look.
To improve daily use, we added hidden soft close hinges to all the cabinet doors. These hinges eliminate slamming, make doors quieter, and help preserve cabinet life. Because the hinges are hidden, they maintain the clean lines of the cabinetry while delivering a noticeable improvement in function and feel.
The final step was a two toned cabinet painting that refreshed the entire kitchen. Painting the cabinets gave the space a modern, updated appearance without the time and cost of full cabinet replacement. The two toned approach added depth and contrast, helping different areas of the kitchen stand out while keeping a unified aesthetic.
Throughout the kitchen remodel, our team coordinated each stage to minimize disruption to the household. Removing the old island, building and installing the new one, fitting the vent hood, and upgrading hinges were scheduled so each task flowed into the next. This kept the project on track and reduced downtime for the homeowners.
The result is a Shawnee, KS kitchen that feels larger and more functional, with quieter cabinets and improved ventilation. The two toned cabinet finish provides a fresh, attractive look that suits the home while the new island adds usable workspace and storage.
Riley Designs Kc completed this kitchen makeover with attention to layout and everyday usability. Homeowners in Shawnee, KS can expect practical upgrades like these to make cooking and entertaining more enjoyable, while also giving their kitchen a modern, finished appearance.
