This 2026 Stillwater, Oklahoma kitchen refresh proves you do not always need a full gut to make a big impact. The existing cabinets were painted white and fitted with new black hardware, giving the space a clean modern look without starting from scratch. New countertops and a grey subway tile backsplash were installed throughout, and the fixtures were updated to matte black to keep the finish consistent across the kitchen.

The ceiling was a significant part of the transformation as well. The old recessed fluorescent box lighting was removed and replaced with LED can lights and a black dome pendant, completely changing the feel of the space from dated to current.
