upgrading a dated Kitchen  

Woodvine Place sits in Houston's Spring Branch area, an established pocket of the city where most homes were built around the turn of the millennium. The neighborhood has held onto its appeal for two and a half decades, but the kitchens inside many of these homes haven't kept pace. For homeowners who buy into Woodvine Place today, updating that original layout is often one of the first projects on the list.

That was exactly the situation for the family behind this project. They had recently purchased their Woodvine Place home and inherited a kitchen that hadn't been touched since the house was built in 2000. The homeowners came to All Star Construction on a referral from a previous customer, already certain of one thing: they wanted Country Green cabinets with a countertop chosen to complement that color, a look they'd pictured for years.

In today's spotlight, our team walks through how we turned that vision into a finished kitchen the homeowners couldn't be happier with.

client goals

Adding Style and Function With Custom Colors and More Storage 

The homeowners had one priority above all others: Country Green cabinets, a color they'd wanted since before they bought the house. That preference set the direction for the whole remodel.

  • Country Green cabinets, with a countertop chosen to complement them.
  • A full replacement of the home's original 2000 kitchen.
  • More counter and storage space to match how the family cooks and gathers.


The cabinetry ran the full height of the room, with glass panel doors and built-in LED lighting stacked all the way to the 10-foot ceiling. Our team then built in an appliance garage to keep small countertop appliances out of sight and installed a farm sink to anchor the main workspace. We finished the layout by extending the island top, adding seating that the original kitchen never had room for.

materials and craftsmanship

Premium Materials Selected for Durability and Appeal

The homeowners wanted quartzite, so we used it to cover the countertops, backsplash, and bar top so the same pattern ran across every surface without a break.

We installed LED under-cabinet lighting along the counters and used the same LED strips inside the glass panel cabinets to keep the Country Green finish glowing after dark.

  • Challenges, Solutions, Highlights

    Turning a Six-Week Wait Into Seven Days

    The cabinet company supplied a vent hood cover in the wrong size for this kitchen. A standard replacement from the manufacturer would have taken six to eight weeks, a delay that would have stalled the rest of the install. We custom-built a new cover in-house and matched the exact paint color the homeowners had chosen. The replacement was ready in seven days, and the project stayed on schedule and on budget.

    Project Highlights

    As experienced kitchen remodeling contractors, we built this project around a color the homeowners had wanted for years and backed it with materials that hold up to daily use. Here's a closer look at the highlights of this Woodvine Place kitchen:

    • Custom Country Green cabinets, paired with quartzite chosen to complement the color.
    • Glass panel cabinets with LED lighting, stacked to the 10-foot ceiling.
    • Quartzite countertops, backsplash, and bar top for a consistent surface throughout.
    • An extended island top that added seating that the original kitchen never had.
    • A farm sink and appliance garage built for everyday function.
    • A custom vent hood cover, built and painted in-house in seven days after a supplier sizing error.

    For this family, the goal was to breathe new life into their dated kitchen while using the color palette and materials they wanted. We're happy to say we managed to accomplish all of this while staying within the client's budget and completing the work as scheduled.
