The project
This Pittsburgh, PA homeowner wanted to replace a dated kitchen with a brighter, more organized space that could support everyday cooking and informal dining. The original room had aging cream cabinetry, limited counter space and a layout that felt disconnected from the living area, so the redesign focused on improving storage, work surfaces and the connection between the kitchen and adjacent spaces.
The new plan uses an L-shaped cabinet run with a generous island, creating separate zones for cooking, prep and cleanup while adding comfortable seating. Avelora Glossy White Slab cabinets bring a clean, contemporary look to the finished space: crisp glossy-white uppers keep the room bright, while the dark base and tall cabinets create depth and define the refrigerator-and-microwave wall as a dedicated storage and appliance zone.
White quartz countertops extend across the perimeter and island for a durable, low-maintenance work surface. The white tile backsplash, stainless-steel appliances, soft-close storage and warm wood-look flooring keep the design practical and easy to live with. The island supplies additional prep space and everyday seating without interrupting circulation through the kitchen.
For a similar Pittsburgh, PA kitchen renovation, the estimated investment is $15,900. This allowance covers the Avelora Glossy White Slab cabinet package for the L-shaped layout and island, white quartz countertops, standard hardware, trim and filler allowance, delivery and professional cabinet installation. Appliances, permits, demolition and major plumbing, electrical or structural work are assessed separately after a site review. The expected timeline from approved design through installation is approximately 4 weeks, subject to final measurements and material availability.
