Modern Warmth and Natural Elegance in a Lincoln, CA Kitchen Remodel

kitchen remodel, Novato CA

In the charming community of Lincoln, CA, a recent kitchen remodel brought together the beauty of natural wood, refined surfaces, and expertly integrated appliances—delivering a space that feels as warm and welcoming as it is contemporary. Completed in March, this like-for-like remodel replaced the old kitchen cabinetry, countertops, sink, and faucet with updated, high-end materials and a polished design, all executed with the signature craftsmanship of DreamLine Custom Cabinetry.

Central to this transformation was the use of the SHINNOKI Series Real Wood Veneer System, a standout selection that infused the space with texture and organic warmth. Most of the cabinetry was finished in Desert Oak, a light-toned, richly grained wood that brought a natural elegance to the lower cabinets. For a striking contrast, the upper cabinets were oak stained black, creating a bold yet balanced two-tone aesthetic. The 5-piece Shaker door style gave the cabinetry depth and detail, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern sensibility.

Countertops were selected with both beauty and performance in mind. Dekton Limbo in 2CM thickness was used in tandem with two slabs of Dekton Laurent, both from Cosentino, to create layered visual interest and durable surfaces that are resistant to heat, scratches, and staining. The dramatic veining of Dekton Laurent introduced a luxurious, marble-inspired contrast to the neutral cabinetry, anchoring the design in sophistication.

Completing the kitchen’s functionality and style was a premium appliance and fixture package. A Karran EL-73-PK1 undermount sink offered seamless integration and everyday practicality, while 73 871512816190 pulls from Richelieu added modern finesse to the cabinetry. At the heart of the cook space, a PITT Elbrus Top Brass natural gas cooktop provided professional-level performance with sleek, integrated aesthetics—a standout feature that elevated both the cooking experience and the kitchen’s overall design.

This remodel was brought to life by an outstanding team. Designer Shota Sh led the creative vision, carefully curating every detail to ensure cohesion between color, texture, and layout. Project Manager Vlad G oversaw the renovation with precision and attention to detail, while Project Coordinator Julie T maintained seamless communication and scheduling throughout the project. Their combined efforts ensured a smooth process and exceptional results.

The final outcome was nothing short of outstanding. This remodeled kitchen is now a harmonious blend of natural beauty and cutting-edge functionality. The client’s experience working with DreamLine Custom Cabinetry was described as amazing, from concept to completion—a testament to the team’s professionalism, quality, and care.
