We are always excited when we have a design or remodeling project with Cynthia B Wilson, and this one is especially impressive!
Cynthia achieved a new look for this kitchen with the effective reuse of the existing high quality cabinetry. With an assist from Geneva Cabinet Company designer Natalie Spiniolas and our installation team, this kitchen is updated with the least amount of disruption and expense.
New countertops, modern hardware and a Bella Tile & Stone backsplash all create a fresh new look. New appliances update the function and efficiency while Wilson cleverly converts the pantry to a dry bar and adds a convenient niche above the range.
We think you’ll agree, stunning!
Our designers are always ready to help with your home improvements!
We are delighted to work directly with homeowners or with design specialists.
There are two types of kitchen people, those who love theirs and those who are under-whelmed every time they pass through. Shouldn’t you adore one of the most important rooms in your home? It’s possible to completely change your disposition with a kitchen remodeling assist from Geneva Cabinet Company, LLC.
We’re sure you’ve heard the advice, “start with a plan”. We like to simplify the planning process into tips that will change your BEFORE into an AFTER you love!
#1 Scrutinize your kitchen layout
What currently works and what just feels dreary? We recommend a comprehensive assessment to start you on the right track before you begin any kitchen remodeling project.
#2 Work with your existing footprint when possible
You’ll notice in the floor plan below that we opened up the space by moving the bathroom to the outside corner. A closer look reveals that the plumbing is actually in the same location. Any time you can renovate a room without disturbing plumbing you are on the side of savings.
#3 Consider traffic patterns and work flow to avoid bottlenecks
Yes, the kitchen work triangle is still relevant. Start by considering the choreography of people who are in the kitchen together. Don’t force everyone to wiggle around obstacles, and each other. Notice that the refrigerator in this AFTER plan has been moved to the outskirts of the work triangle to avoid a crash and possible burn near the cooking surface.
#4 Add storage not just space.
We’re not saying that because we sell cabinetry. It is more cost efficient to maximize storage space without adding square feet. We like to design with tall cabinets that reclaim wasted wall space. They are perfect for storing seasonal and rarely used pieces. For more storage ideas click here.
#5 Configure for Convenience
Doors or drawers? It’s important to know how you will use each area before you choose the type of cabinet storage. Drawers offer natural organization and easy access. Cabinets are ideal for versatility and storing bulky items.
#6 Keep It Open
You will use things more often when stored on open shelving for top-of-mind awareness. Even the interior of your cabinet door can be updated with visible storage for often used condiments.
#7 Divide and Conquer
Move over Maria Kondo, we have organization tools that will definitely change your life. Not only do door and drawer organizers keep you efficient, just opening the cabinet will give you joy!
#7 The Landing Zone
To keep the entire home clutter-free we love the idea of a landing zone, this one is just off of the kitchen. Dedicating a space to collect things like keys and jackets will keep your home tidy.
We thoroughly enjoyed working with Schilthelm Builders on this kitchen remodeling project! Cabinetry from Plato Woodwork, Inc. was used in their crisp Arctic White finish on the Artisan style door.

When you are a designer the creative juices start flowing the moment your eyes open in the morning. From the outfits I lay out for myself and my three-year-old, to projects I’m designing for my clients.
A good designer doesn’t stop at just the basic cabinetry design. Just like my outfits don’t stop at just the basic clothing. Accessories, like the perfect jacket, jewelry, and shoes, play a big part in pulling the entire look together and sending a message about personal style.
The same thing applies to designing cabinetry in my clients’ homes. I start with a basic, functional plan and then work with the client to develop their individual style. Adding the countertops, lighting and plumbing fixtures is like layering on the accessories and “jewelry”. It begins to make a statement and bring personality to the design. It’s like taking a little black dress and adding either pearls and stilettos, or a jean jacket and cowboy boots. It’s all about individual style.
One tip I like to share with my clients is to add an unexpected detail or “secret treasure” like a flea market find or artistic piece that gives a punch of personality to the room. Price doesn’t matter on this one. It is all about including a piece that is a conversation starter. Think back to that little black dress and pairing that pearl necklace with those cowboy boots. Now you’re talking my language!
We invite you to stop into our Lake Geneva showroom to experience quality cabinetry. Learn how to create that perfectly complete design of your very own.

There’s a lid for every pot, but sometimes you just can’t find it. That’s where we come in with the most organized and clever ideas for cabinet storage. We start with an essential analysis of your home’s physical conditions and then evaluate your lifestyle needs. A good kitchen plan will include cabinet storage to increase your efficiency, while saving you time and energy.
Enjoy a few “oohs and ahhs” in your kitchen with our favorite cabinet storage ideas.
Take it to the top with wall cabinets that make the most of your vertical space.
It’s good to go-low when it maximizes space under a banquet for display and storage.
Behind closed doors you will find everything tidy and within reach when you have tall pantry cabinets.
Secret compartments are always fun, and functional.
Get into the swing of things with shelves that swing-out and eliminate the dead corner cabinet zone.
No space goes to waste with specialized cabinets to house appliances (like this under cabinet microwave) while sneaking in extra storage.
And of course the pull-out category deserves our highest praise.
Pull-out shelving means you never lose track of your grocery items because you can actually see them.
Pull-out towel racks brings an end to the damp disheveled dishtowel.
And last but not least, the pull-out spice rack is a crowd pleaser.
