Need a kitchen that really cooks? Chris & Nicole love how their kitchen transformation delivers both great value and long-lasting good looks.


Best Renovation

Chris Shinn and Nicole Appell have undertaken various home renovations over the years, but when it comes to that ‘Wow!’ factor, their most recent kitchen project is a winner.

“We’ve done a lot of renovations on our house over the past few years, but the new kitchen countertops are my favorite. It made the biggest difference in transforming the space,” says Nicole says.

Built in 1926, their Art Deco-style home includes arches and classic built-in features so it was essential that any updates complement those features.

“We wanted to keep the historical sensibility while updating to contemporary finishes,” she explains.

Without undertaking a complete kitchen renovation, with all the cost and disruption that entails, the ideal solution was a countertop update courtesy of Granite Transformations.

Maintaining the functional layout and existing, solidly built cabinets, the team installed new countertops – thankfully replacing royal blue swimming pool tiles from the early 1980s.

“I love having smooth surface countertops that are easy to clean. It makes for a really nice, clean workspace,” Nicole says.

Multiuse Kitchen

Like many homeowners, Nicole, an artist and instructor, Chris, an insurance and investment broker, use their kitchen for more than preparing meals, so a functional, inviting space is essential.

“Since the pandemic, our son’s school has been closed, so our kitchen is now a classroom in addition to a cooking and meal planning space. It’s been wonderful having the new counters as we are baking and doing science experiments,” Nicole says.

Easy Maintenance

While natural slab granite is a porous material that must be sealed for more effective cleaning and stain-resistance, Granite Transformations’ engineered stone is non-porous, offering a low-maintenance, easy-to-clean and anti-microbial surface, explains the company’s marketing coordinator, April Peterson. “That means you get the look you love with the features you want.”

The renovations have the added benefit of being a simple, cost-effective way to add value to their home, now, and down the road, should they decide to sell. “In our neighborhood, buyers expect nice, new finishes,” Nicole notes. Better yet, “it was so easy! I was surprised how quickly it was finished.

“We could not be happier with the results,” she adds. “Of all the work we have done in our house, this has had the most dramatic impact.”


Blanco Silgranite Diamond Sink

With over 30 years of material development, SILGRANIT has been specifically designed and engineered to take on the toughest kitchen tasks, while maintaining its smooth, natural stone beauty. It is non-porous, with the ability to push away liquids and residue, resulting in a low maintenance, anti-bacterial surface.

Carrara Engineered Marble

Marble is one of the most luxurious materials in the world, and the best marble quarries are in Carrara in Tuscany, Italy. Quartz and glass are the main components of our gray marble countertop Carrara engineered stone, enriched with gray veins to bring a refined Italian design touch to your remodeling project. It is our tribute to the most precious marble that inspired Michelangelo, Canova, and many other historical artists and architects from around the world.
