For this transitional kitchen remodel in Chatham, NJ, the homeowners were looking to strike the perfect balance between timeless elegance and modern functionality. Their vision included warm-toned wood, crisp white cabinetry, and subtle gold accents—all coming together to create a kitchen that feels both classic and current.

To achieve the open, airy layout they desired, we removed the existing pantry and replaced it with a custom-built walnut cabinet designed to look like a freestanding furniture piece. This solution not only maintained the storage they needed but added a beautiful focal point that brought warmth and depth to the space.

With carefully selected finishes and a refined, understated color palette, this kitchen reflects Manta’s approach to blending style, utility, and craftsmanship—helping Chatham homeowners create spaces that feel personal, functional, and beautifully timeless.
