Project type
Kitchen Remodel
Date
Feb 2026
Location
Lee, NH
This full kitchen remodel combined classic white cabinetry with bold contrast elements and custom dining storage to create a space that feels both timeless and highly functional.
Completed by J&J Kitchen & Bath, this project focused on maximizing storage, refining layout details, and delivering a clean, durable finish throughout the kitchen and adjoining dining area.
Project Highlights
Full kitchen renovation
White shaker cabinetry
Built-in refrigerator surround with crown detail
Subway tile backsplash
Black countertops for contrast
Stainless steel appliances
Custom dining built-in cabinetry
Open wood shelving accents
Large-format tile flooring
Refrigerator Cabinet Integration
One of the standout features in this remodel is the built-in refrigerator surround. Instead of leaving the appliance exposed, we framed it with full-height cabinetry and crown molding for a seamless, finished look.
Integrated appliance surrounds elevate the overall appearance of a kitchen remodel and provide additional upper storage while maintaining symmetry.
Classic Subway Tile with Modern Execution
The white subway tile backsplash keeps the space bright and timeless, while the tight grout lines and clean layout deliver a more modern feel.
Subway tile remains one of the most requested backsplash styles in Seacoast NH kitchen remodels because it:
Complements shaker cabinetry
Reflects light effectively
Offers long-term durability
Works in both traditional and contemporary homes
Custom Dining Storage & Built-Ins
Beyond the main kitchen, this remodel included custom built-in cabinetry in the adjoining dining space.
The combination of closed lower storage and open wood shelving creates:
Practical everyday storage
Decorative display space
Visual warmth
Architectural interest
Built-ins are a great way to extend a kitchen remodel into surrounding living areas while maintaining design consistency.
