Charleston Kitchen Renovation in Harleston Place
This modern kitchen renovation was completed in Harleston Place, Downtown Charleston, with a budget of $120,000. The three-month project created a more open and efficient use of space, with relocated appliances and fixtures, semi-custom cabinetry, a waterfall-edge island, resurfaced and whitewashed heart pine flooring, and all-new appliances.
Rethinking the Kitchen Layout
The goal of this renovation was more than updating the kitchen's finishes. The layout was reworked to make better use of the existing space, with every appliance and fixture moved to a new location.
That change opened up the kitchen and created a more efficient layout while allowing the new cabinetry, island, flooring, and appliances to work together as one finished space.

The Challenge:
The Details That Make It
- Semi-Custom Cabinetry—New semi-custom kitchen cabinets provide updated storage and a clean, tailored look.
- A Waterfall-Edge Island—The kitchen island features waterfall edges, extending the countertop material down both sides for a continuous finish.
- Resurfaced and Whitewashed Heart Pine Flooring—The existing heart pine flooring was resurfaced and whitewashed, giving the kitchen a lighter, updated appearance while retaining the original flooring.
- All-New Appliances—The renovation included all-new appliances, positioned as part of the redesigned kitchen layout.
Three Months from Start
to Finish
