A Sophisticated Kitchen Remodel in Kalorama, NW Washington, DC

Understated Luxury Meets High-Function Design

When Sonia and Richard decided to remodel the kitchen in their classic Kalorama rowhome, they had a clear vision: design a space that complements the home’s architectural integrity while upgrading everything under the hood.

With daily cooking routines, frequent family visits, and a preference for clean lines over clutter, they turned to Bath Plus Kitchen for a full transformation—one that delivers modern performance with timeless style.

Project Overview

  • Location: Kalorama, NW Washington, DC
  • Homeowners: Sonia and Richard
  • Timeline: May to October 2025
  • Cabinetry: Bria by Dura Supreme
  • Door Style: Kendall Panel
  • Cabinet Finish: Software SW7074 – Curated Color on Paintable
  • Countertops: Honed Carrara Marble
  • Scope: Full kitchen renovation with custom cabinetry, integrated appliances, and optimized storage

Design Style: Classic Shell, Clean Soul

The kitchen remodel channels a minimalist, cool-toned palette that’s both fresh and timeless. The Software finish—a sleek, steely blue-gray—grounds the cabinetry with a modern edge. It’s the kind of color that doesn’t scream for attention but quietly elevates everything around it. The homeowners opted for subtle sophistication over flashy finishes, choosing quality materials and seamless integration over trends. The result? A calm, composed kitchen that feels just right for its DC backdrop.

Cabinetry: Dura Supreme Bria with Kendall Door Style

At the core of the kitchen is frameless Bria cabinetry from Dura Supreme, built to maximize storage and deliver a crisp, contemporary look.

  • Door Style: Kendall Panel
  • Finish: Software – Curated Color Collection

    • Custom paneled range hood with built-in blower

  • Perimeter: Full-height Carrara backsplash behind the range
  • Edges: Eased for a clean modern profile
  • Sink Cutout: Undermount for effortless cleanup

Appliance Suite: Built-In and Beautifully Integrated

This remodel features a high-performance suite of built-in appliances—all chosen for their reliability, minimalist design, and seamless integration.

  • Range Hood: Custom Dura Supreme paneled hood with internal blower

Each appliance sits flush within the cabinetry—keeping the visual lines clean while delivering serious culinary power.

Fixtures and Finishing Touches

Every detail was chosen to match the kitchen’s refined tone, including the satin nickel bridge faucet, fireclay sink, pot filler, and brass accents like the air gap and soap dispenser. These aren’t just pretty parts—they’re tools, elevated.

Designed for Real Life, Built for Kalorama

Sonia and Richard’s new kitchen doesn’t just look good—it works hard. From the island seating and trash pullouts to the cabinet drawer inserts and display shelving, everything was customized to make their routines smoother and their space smarter.

And it all lives beautifully within the historic shell of their Kalorama home—proof that great design doesn’t shout; it whispers with intent.

Kitchen Remodel Arlington, VA: A Timeless Transformation in the Heart of Arlington

At Bath Plus Kitchen, every project begins with understanding how our clients live—and how they dream of living. In this recent kitchen remodel in Arlington, VA, we helped longtime condo owners, John and Susan Ellis (names changed for privacy), breathe new life into their central living space with a timeless, functional design tailored to their lifestyle.

A Vision for a Seamless Living Space

Nestled in a vibrant Arlington condominium community, the Ellis family wanted a kitchen that harmonized with their open-concept layout. The kitchen flows directly into the living and dining areas, which meant the remodel needed to strike the perfect balance between visual elegance and everyday function.

Their goals:

  • A fresh, bright aesthetic
  • Efficient storage solutions
  • A welcoming space for informal entertaining
  • Thoughtful integration of new cabinetry and surfaces

Classic Cabinetry with Modern Performance

The foundation of this remodel lies in the cabinetry. We selected Dura Supreme’s Bria line with the Hudson door style—a versatile, transitional look that complements both traditional and modern elements. Finished in a clean white paint, the cabinets reflect natural light beautifully and contribute to the kitchen’s airy feel.

Key cabinet features include:

  • Plywood case construction for enhanced durability
  • Soft-close concealed hinges and full-extension drawer glides
  • Dovetailed hardwood drawers that are built to last

Stunning Quartz Surfaces

For the countertops and backsplash, the Ellis family chose Silestone’s Ethereal Glow—a luxurious quartz surface with soft veining and a luminous quality that adds dimension to the space. The countertops feature a standard straight edge with a subtle 1/8″ radius for a clean finish.

To complete the look, a full-height quartz backsplash creates a seamless transition from counter to wall—combining beauty with easy maintenance.

Appliance & Layout Integration

The remodel preserved the homeowners’ existing refrigerator while introducing a sleek KitchenAid dishwasher (model KDFE204KPS). A large stainless steel sink anchors the kitchen’s main workspace, positioned for optimal accessibility and flow.

Strategic additions included:

  • A 36″ lazy susan for improved corner access
  • Drawer partitions for lid and utensil storage
  • Integrated under-cabinet lighting for added ambiance and task illumination

Designed for How They Live

Susan, the primary cook, prepares most meals from scratch. With a height of 5’2″, cabinet layout and counter height (36″) were thoughtfully adjusted for comfort. The couple enjoys preparing meals together and hosting small, informal gatherings, so a bar-height seating area adjacent to the kitchen encourages conversation without crowding the cooking zone.

The remodel also emphasizes sustainability and organization, including a dual-bin recycling station tucked within cabinetry for easy waste sorting.

Bathroom Cabinetry to Match

Beyond the kitchen, the project included updates to the condo’s bathrooms. The hall and primary bath feature Dura Supreme cabinetry in a rich Cashew Cherry finish, while the powder room echoes the kitchen with a Software paint finish, creating visual continuity throughout the home.

A Kitchen Built for the Next 15 Years

With plans to stay in their Arlington condo for at least 15 more years, the Ellis family’s new kitchen is built to support their evolving needs—blending classic design with thoughtful functionality.

Masterpiece of Modern Kitchen Remodel: A Journey from Concept to Reality

Embarking on a modern kitchen remodel is like charting a transformative journey through a myriad of design possibilities. The choice spectrum ranges from vintage charm to contemporary minimalism, vibrant hues to calming neutral tones, conventional layouts to innovative open-concept spaces. Every detail comes together to shape a unique culinary masterpiece.

At the core of any successful kitchen redesign lies an understanding of the homeowner’s unique lifestyle. Detailed initial surveys reveal not just cooking habits and entertainment styles, but also expectations and aspirations for an ideal kitchen.

A recent transformation brought an outdated, cramped kitchen into the realm of modern elegance. The design was inspired by the homeowners’ love for international cuisines, a penchant for sleek minimalist style, and a passion for efficient organizational systems.

Here are some key design elements:

Quartz Countertops and Backsplash

The selection of a luxurious white and grey quartz surface, seamlessly paired with modern stainless appliances, set the tone for a refined and high-end aesthetic.

Built-In Recycling Center

To maximize functionality and maintain sleek design, a built-in recycling cabinet replaced the cumbersome floor bins.  The cabinet includes a 2-bin trash and recycle cabinet with an electric servo-drive and a two-tier wood cutlery tray.

Innovative Storage Solutions

Beyond just cabinets and drawers, the design features a variety of cabinet accessories. An asymmetrical lazy Susan, a spice pull-out, a base corner swing out, a pull-out pantry, a tray divider cabinet and a tall cabinet adorned with modern glass doors. These details not only ensure a dedicated space for every kitchen gadget and piece of bakeware but elevate the overall design.

Top-of-the-Line Appliances

Completing the modern kitchen remodel are premium appliances, featuring a professional-grade rangetop and a whisper-quiet Bosch dishwasher.

This modern kitchen remodel goes beyond creating an aesthetically pleasing space; it designs an efficient, functional area that embodies the homeowners’ lifestyle. From concept to the breathtaking final result, the project represents a truly modern kitchen that inspires both envy and admiration.

As we prepare for the grand unveiling, detailed floor plans, elevations, and renderings will be featured on this page, offering an in-depth look into the transformation process. So, stay tuned as we continue to transform dreams into realities, creating modern kitchens that serve not just as spaces for cooking, but as stages for life’s greatest celebrations.

Capitol Hill Kitchen & Bath Project: A Design That Combines Functionality and Personal Touches

Capitol Hill Kitchen & Bath Project: A Design That Combines Functionality and Personal Touches

Welcome to another exciting kitchen and bath project!  Kat Reynolds, CKBD recently collaborated with the homeowners of a Capitol Hill row house to create a stunning kitchen that not only meets their unique requirements but also reflects their personal taste. In this blog post, we’ll take you through the various aspects of this challenging yet fulfilling project, showcasing our expertise in custom kitchen design and renovation.

Features:

  • Custom Cabinetry
    • Make: Dura Supreme
    • Line: Bria
    • Door Style: Hudson
    • Species & Finish:
      • Base Cabinet: Paintable Gale Force
      • Wall Cabinet: Paintable White
    • Construction: Plywood case with natural maple veneer interior, Full – Overlay, dovetail drawers
    • Soft close doors and drawers
  • Countertop: Silestone Charcoal Soapstone 
  • Hardware: Top Knobs
  • Appliances & Furniture: (provided by client)

Kitchen Layout and Design:

We wanted the kitchen to be the focal point as one enters the home. To achieve this, we designed the space so that the ducting is concealed within the cabinetry components, creating a sleek and visually appealing look. The homeowners were considering black stone or concrete countertops, but due to concerns about staining, chipping, and scratching, we suggested Silestone charcoal soapstone. This material offers a matte surface that doesn’t show dust and fingerprints like shiny black granite, making it a practical and stylish choice for their kitchen renovation.

Mudroom Solutions:

One of the primary challenges we faced was designing a mudroom with a limited depth of only 16-7/8 inches. Since this did not allow for coat hangers, we came up with an alternative solution: adding more hanging hooks and a base cabinet. This not only provided space for their wine glasses but also served as a convenient drop zone, particularly when they have barbecues, making the most of the available space in their Capitol Hill home.

Bathrooms:

When it comes to small bathroom vanities, finding something that doesn’t look “off-the-shelf” can be a challenge. We offered the Capitol Hill homeowners an outside-the-box solution that will make their bathroom vanity stand out, showcasing our expertise in crafting unique and stylish bathroom designs.

Personal Touches:

To help the Capitol Hill homeowners emotionally connect to their new kitchen, we incorporated some of their personal items into the design. We also added adjustable shelves in the tall cabinets, so they can customize their storage and broom cabinet preferences, providing a personalized and functional space for them to enjoy.

Conclusion:

The Capitol Hill kitchen project has been one of our most challenging and rewarding puzzles to date. We hope they’ll be as thrilled with the design as we are. We look forward to receiving their feedback and making any necessary adjustments to create the kitchen of their dreams.
