This Craftsman kitchen in Needham, MA was refreshed by retaining and refacing the existing cabinet structure and replacing only the Doors and Drawer-fronts, resulting in an economical, sustainable and period-appropriate renovation.  Facing material, doors, drawers and soffit are all Quarter Sawn White Oak for a pitch-perfect Craftsman look.  Radiant heat was run under the Kitchen floor and super efficient lighting and vent hood were installed.  Original counters were replaced with PaperStone, a material consisting of > 70% post-consumer recycled material and cashew-based resins.  Non-toxic, durable, beautiful. 

This renovation shows that even the most dated kitchens can be made beautiful again without breaking the bank or topping off the local landfill.
