Park Slope Kitchen Renovation
An outdated Park Slope kitchen gets a major update
For those who love to cook and entertain, an outdated kitchen can pose some annoying setbacks. Brooklyn couple Erin & Mark made do for 2 years in their Park Slope 1-bed before deciding to give their kitchen’s laminate surfaces and retro appliances a full upgrade. After having worked with a Sweeten member on a previous bathroom update, they knew he’d be perfect to tackle their kitchen project too. Erin, a film distributor, and Mark, an editor/journalist (who just launched a cool soccer magazine), couldn’t be happier with the result! So, we stopped in to check out the couple’s new, more functional kitchen.

The laminate surfaces muster up some serious nostalgia –but not in a good way! It was definitely time to bring in the team at NKCI.
After 3.5 weeks of construction, voila! The new kitchen features white quartzite countertops and ceiling-high storage. The updated space is so much brighter and more efficient.
The cabinetry had originally arrived on site unfinished and was painted white by Nick & his team. NKCI then built a custom unit to integrate the washer/dryer and refrigerator seamlessly into the white cabinets.
Nick’s team installed under-cabinet as well as over-cabinet lighting, and they also integrated a speaker system into the cabinetry (you can see one of the speakers up on the shelf in the corner of the room).
Another of Nick’s personal touches, are the glass-faced cabinets which are illuminated from within by strips of small LEDs.
We’d agree that it’s a major improvement –many thanks to Erin & Mark for sharing their new space!
