A word from the owner, Krystal Holder, Broker/Owner of Holder Realty

“I am inordinately thrilled with my new cabinets by Walker Woodworking. My designer, Heather, was extremely helpful from the initial meeting through the design phase and installation process. She was able to see my vision and bring it to fruition. I could not have asked for a better vendor to work with on my renovation project.”

Kitchen Perimeter

Kitchen Perimeter Remodel
This refined kitchen perimeter remodel features frameless cabinets painted in Accessible Beige, paired with the elegant Carolina door style for a clean, sophisticated look. A flush furniture base adds a custom, built-in feel that grounds the design with a polished finish.

A standout feature includes the integration of Stoll Industries’ matte black metal doors with horizontal mullions, delivering a striking contrast and modern edge. LED lighting enhances both style and utility, while polished nickel Emtek hardware brings a touch of timeless elegance.

Functionality meets beauty with smart storage solutions such as utensil and spice pull-outs, deep drawers, and adjustable roll-outs, making organization effortless. The perimeter area includes a sophisticated coffee larder pantry with pocket doors, and hosts the Ruvati sink system, complete with premium accessories that make that morning cup of coffee equally satisfying.

This kitchen is a seamless blend of form and function, offering contemporary luxury designed for real-life convenience.

Kitchen Island – “Seeing Double”

Scandinavian-Inspired Kitchen
This serene Scandinavian kitchen design centers around the natural beauty of quarter sawn white oak cabinetry, offering a refined grain pattern and warm, organic tones. The clean-lined, frameless construction enhances the simplicity of the design, while the wood’s natural texture brings depth and character to the space.

Double Island Luxury Kitchen
Not one, but two islands make a bold statement in this luxury kitchen, offering double the function and double the style. This thoughtfully designed space balances high-performance prep zones with inviting areas for entertaining, all wrapped in a clean, modern aesthetic.

Island One showcases a Scandinavian-inspired light wood finish, bringing warmth and natural elegance to the heart of the kitchen. Designed with efficiency in mind, this island features a 57″ Ruvati Workstation Sink with a full set of accessories, making prep and cleanup seamless. A built-in microwave, single trash pull-out, and dishwasher offer everyday convenience, while a cleverly hidden paper towel roll-out adds a subtle but practical detail. To the right of the dishwasher, false drawers open as a door, mirroring the left side for perfect symmetry and balance, both functionally and visually.

Island Two stands out with a striking waterfall countertop, serving as a sculptural focal point and social hub. With push-to-open doors, it offers discreet additional storage while prioritizing extra seating and entertaining space, ideal for hosting guests or casual family gatherings.

Together, these two islands deliver a stunning blend of form, function, and Scandinavian-inspired style, creating a kitchen that’s as practical as it is breathtaking.
