Kitchen Remodel with Custom Built-Ins & Subway Tile Backsplash

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.
