Kings Grant Kitchen Remodel in Virginia Beach: A Bright, Functional Transformation by McDrake Remodeling
February 18th, 2026Andrea Picardi, Marketing Director
Nothing is more rewarding than clients who invite us back into their home for another project. After completing a stunning 4-season sunroom installation with our Betterliving Sunrooms & Awnings of Hampton Roads team, this Kings Grant homeowner trusted McDrake Remodeling once again. This time it was to transform their dated, dark kitchen into a beautiful, functional centerpiece designed for modern living and entertaining.
This Virginia Beach kitchen remodel is a perfect example of how thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, and intentional design details can completely change the feel and functionality of a home.
From Dark and Dated to Bright and Inviting
The original kitchen felt closed off and lacked the storage, lighting, and flow the homeowners needed. Their vision was clear: create a lighter, brighter space with improved functionality, ample storage, and seamless connection to their dining room and sunroom.
To achieve this transformation, our team:
- Opened the wall between the kitchen and dining room to improve flow and sightlines
- Converted an existing window into a functional passthrough to the sunroom. The passthrough is perfect for entertaining and everyday convenience.
Before
After
- Installed new cabinetry, countertops, lighting, and fixtures
- Updated plumbing, electrical, paint, and trim for a cohesive finish
Custom Cabinetry and Smart Storage Solutions
Storage and organization were a top priority. We installed beautiful new cabinetry from Shiloh Cabinetry, providing the homeowners with significantly more storage while elevating the overall design.
Mixed metal hardware in matte black and warm gold tones adds depth and visual interest, creating a modern yet timeless aesthetic that ties the entire space together.
Undercabinet lighting enhances both functionality and ambiance, improving task lighting while showcasing the cabinetry and backsplash.
Luxury Countertops, Sink, and Faucet: Beauty Meets Function
One of the standout features of this kitchen remodel is the stunning MSI Quartz countertops in Midnight Majesty with a concrete finish. This surface provides the perfect balance of durability and contemporary style.
The new Elkay 33″ farmhouse sink creates a bold focal point while offering exceptional functionality. Complete with a basin rack, strainer, and integrated cutting board, it’s designed for efficiency and convenience.
Paired with the sink is the elegant Brizo Litze kitchen faucet in matte black and luxe gold, blending performance with high-end design.
Statement Lighting & Eye-Catching Design Details
Lighting plays a crucial role in defining the character of a kitchen. Bronze and black Hinkley Lighting Amelia pendant lights create a dramatic focal point over the workspace, while adding warmth and sophistication.
A white-washed brick wall introduces character and brightness, balancing modern finishes with timeless charm.
The Viviano Mother of Pearl Mosaic backsplash delivers a stunning reflective quality, adding texture and elegance while complementing the cabinetry and countertops.
Advanced Ventilation with BEST Downdraft Technology
This kitchen also features the state-of-the-art BEST D49M Series downdraft range hood system. This innovative ventilation solution integrates seamlessly into the design, providing powerful performance while maintaining clean sightlines.
Its flexible installation and sleek profile make it ideal for modern kitchen layouts where both aesthetics and performance matter.
Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living with a Sunroom Passthrough
One of the most unique features of this remodel is the kitchen passthrough connecting directly to the sunroom—another space previously completed by McDrake Remodeling.
This thoughtful addition makes entertaining effortless, allowing easy access between the kitchen and sunroom while improving natural light and overall flow.
