At Planet Cabinets, we had the pleasure of transforming a traditional kitchen in Mettawa, IL into a luxurious and highly functional culinary space. The original kitchen featured light maple cabinetry, dark granite countertops, and a dated layout that lacked contrast and modern character.

Our team replaced the entire cabinetry system with crisp white shaker cabinets paired with matte black hardware for a striking, high-end finish. To enhance storage, we installed floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, cleverly balancing solid and glass-paneled doors for both functionality and elegance.

The kitchen island became the heart of the space—refinished in a bold charcoal tone and topped with a statement-making white marble-look quartz countertop with subtle gold veining. Not only is it stunning, but it also offers generous prep space and integrated drawer storage.

We also upgraded the countertops and backsplash throughout the kitchen with matching surfaces for a seamless, sophisticated look. The new stainless-steel appliances and custom black range hood offer a beautiful contrast while maintaining a cohesive modern aesthetic.

Strategic lighting—three matte black pendant lights over the island—brings warmth and elegance to the room while enhancing its spaciousness. The result is a clean, contemporary kitchen with timeless appeal, custom built to reflect the lifestyle of a modern Mettawa homeowner.
