With the holiday season fast approaching, the kitchen becomes the heart of the home, where family and friends gather for meals, drinks, and conversations. If you’re thinking of sprucing up your kitchen before the festivities, here are a few simple and budget-friendly updates to refresh your space without stretching your time or wallet.

Most remodeling projects take extensive planning with hours of back-and-forth designing with potentially long product lead times. Unexpected delays could completely derail your timeline and leave you without a kitchen during the most important time of the year. Traditionally a kitchen renovation takes 6-8 weeks just to get cabinets.  Palmer-Donavin is just the place to make all this quick, easy, beautiful, predictable and has what you need for a quick refresh of your kitchen just before the holidays with multiple in stock options ready to go. Our knowledgeable and experienced kitchen designers are ready to guide you through the planning and design process both quickly and efficiently. We have you covered with in-stock cabinet options offering multiple door styles such as Omni and Classic from Woodward Cabinetry, hardware options with colors of stainless steel and matte black, with all these features offering several price points for what is best for your budget.

Cabinets and Countertops

When it comes to updating your kitchen, changing your cabinets and countertops is one of the most impactful ways to transform the space. Unlike flooring or a fresh coat of paint, cabinets and countertops are the focal points of the kitchen, setting the tone for the entire design. New cabinets can dramatically improve functionality, providing better storage and organization, while updated countertops can enhance both the aesthetic and practical aspects of the room. With a wide variety of cabinetry available such as Woodward Cabinetry, Kitchen Kompact, and Kountry Wood, swapping out your cabinetry allows for a complete visual overhaul that instantly modernizes your kitchen, making it feel fresh, inviting, and tailored to your personal taste. Choosing the right countertop material can elevate the overall design, seamlessly blending with your cabinets to create a cohesive aesthetic. When choosing between our 14 in-stock colors, it’s easy to find the perfect match, allowing your countertops to enhance the kitchen’s flow, making it both visually stunning and highly functional for daily use.

Hardware

Although the new cabinets and new countertops account for the biggest change in a kitchen renovation, details still matter. Cabinetry hardware is a small yet impactful detail that can completely transform the look of a new kitchen. From sleek, modern pulls in stainless steel, to ornate knobs in matte black, the right hardware enhances the style of your cabinets while adding a personal touch. Palmer-Donavin Kitchen Designer, Jenna Fox, shared, “Brushed nickel and stainless steel options are the most popular, but matte black and even some of the brushed brass are having a strong showing.” Beyond aesthetics, high-quality hardware improves functionality by making cabinets and drawers easier to open and close, ensuring smooth, long-lasting use. It also offers an opportunity to tie together other design elements in the kitchen, such as faucets, lighting fixtures, or appliances, creating a cohesive and polished space that feels both stylish and practical.

We believe your kitchen should reflect your personal style and be a space that brings you joy—whether you’re cooking a family meal, hosting friends, or simply enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning. Don’t be afraid to make changes that suit your needs and tastes. Choosing from a variety of in stock items across four Palmer-Donavin stocking locations, like choosing any style and color from Kitchen Kompact, or Classic Snow and Bark along with Omni Snow and Mineral in Woodward, you can have a shorter renovation time, an easier time deciding your design and layout, and within a smaller budget than other custom options. By investing in renovations that create an inviting, functional, and beautiful space, you’ll feel more confident and proud to welcome loved ones into your home. After all, your kitchen is the heart of your home, and it should be a place that makes you happy every time you step inside.
