Before & After: Grandma's Kitchen Gets a Timeless, Kid-Proof Upgrade

Dated kitchen with worn countertops and a basic backsplash, in need of a family-friendly update.

Creating a kitchen that's both beautiful and built for family fun? That was the dream for my clients, a couple with a growing family of grandkids eager to make memories around food. The old kitchen, while functional, lacked the warmth and durability needed for years of shared meals and happy messes.

My solution? A touch of luxury that can handle anything life throws at it. We chose Infinity's Calacatta Oro in a 2 cm thickness – a mineral surface that's stunningly realistic but far more forgiving than natural marble. The grandkids can spill their juice boxes, and grandma won't worry about stains. Plus, the full-height backsplash means easy cleanup, even when things get a little messy (and with kids, they always do!).

Why Calacatta Oro Was the Perfect Fit

After

  • Grandkid-Approved Durability: Heat, scratches, stains – this countertop can handle it all.

  • Hygienic: The non-porous surface means no hiding spots for germs.

  • Timeless Elegance: The soft white background with gray and gold veining adds a touch of luxury that'll never go out of style.

The Finishing Touches

Black accents on the sink, faucet, and cabinet pulls brought a modern sophistication that perfectly complements the classic Calacatta Oro.

The Result? A Kitchen Made for Living

This kitchen transformation wasn't just about aesthetics. It was about creating a space where family traditions can be born and cherished. The new design is inviting, easy to care for, and most importantly, built to withstand the chaos (and love) that comes with a full house.
