Kitchens

Kitchen renovations, planned and run by the owner.

Cabinets, stone, plumbing, lighting and the installation, fitted to your plan and run by one person.

A kitchen island with a dark veined stone top, a blue base and a row of bar stools, beside white cabinets with built-in double ovens, on a white floor.

Cabinets are ordered, so the plan starts with the order.

GDE does not run a cabinet shop. Cabinets are ordered, custom or ready-made, and Young plans the job around the order: what comes out, what is prepared, and when the cabinets arrive. With custom cabinets, a kitchen typically takes about a month and a half to two months, because the cabinets have to be made and delivered. With ready-made cabinets it can take as little as two weeks. Plumbing work is part of that time.

A kitchen with cream cabinets and glass-front doors, a window over an undermount sink, an arched cream hood above a gas hob on a veined stone backsplash, two glass lantern pendants, and a dark island with carved legs and a pale stone top, on a pale tile floor with small dark inlays.

Stone, set properly.

The island top in the first photo is Italian stone. Stone arrives as a slab, and Young lays it on the island frame, with the sink cut-out, before the finishing around it.
