Project Overview

MB Millwork completed a kitchen remodeling project in Nutley, NJ, for a 12'9" x 14'5" kitchen that needed better storage and a cleaner layout for everyday cooking. We installed shop-built custom cabinetry in a soft cream finish, a 6'10" walnut island with seating for two, quartz countertops with fine gray veining, and a full-height ceramic backsplash behind the range. The finished space now feels more open and easier to work in, with a layout that fits the homeowners’ routine from weekday meals to weekend hosting.

Chapter 01

The Problem

Before the remodel, the Nutley kitchen had aging oak cabinets, worn laminate counters, and a peninsula that made the main walkway feel tight. The corner storage was awkward to reach, and the dark finish on the cabinets made the room feel smaller than it was. The homeowners wanted a brighter kitchen with better storage and a layout that made sense for daily use.

Chapter 02

The Challenge

The room had a low soffit over part of the cabinet run and a side doorway close to the fridge wall, which limited cabinet sizing and placement. We also had to add seating without crowding the path into the dining area.

Chapter 03

Our Solution

We started with a free 3D design consultation and built a layout that improved flow while maximizing every wall. The cabinetry was fabricated in our Lyndhurst shop with plywood construction, soft-close hardware, and painted shaker fronts, while the walnut island added warmth and extra storage. We finished the project with quartz countertops, a full-height backsplash behind the range, and custom trim to make the soffit and wall transitions look built in.

Chapter 04

The Result

The completed kitchen feels brighter, more balanced, and much easier to move through. The cream perimeter cabinets and walnut island create a clean, warm contrast, while the new storage keeps countertops clear and everyday items easy to reach. The whole room now looks intentional and functions like a true custom kitchen.

In Their Words
The kitchen feels so much easier to use now, and the cabinets are built really well. MB Millwork kept everything on track and made the whole process simple.

Client Outcome

The homeowners now use the island for breakfast, prep, and casual dinners, and they have far less clutter on the counters. They like how much easier it is to cook and clean up in a kitchen that matches the way they live.
