J&K Cabinetry Kitchen Remodeling with Green Backsplash in Annandale, VA
A 4-week kitchen remodel in Annandale, VA: Kitchen & Bath Masters replaced worn builder-grade cabinets with J&K Cabinetry in Dove, removed the bulkhead, added taller wall cabinets, toe-kick drawers and a dark green subway tile backsplash.
Project Description
Replacing Builder-Grade Cabinets with J&K Cabinetry in Annandale
Kitchen & Bath Masters replaced worn, builder-grade cabinetry in this Annandale, VA kitchen with J&K Cabinetry in Dove, quartz countertops and a dark green subway tile backsplash, and removed an outdated bulkhead to gain storage and height.
The starting point
The existing cabinets were outdated, deteriorating and no longer practical for the household. A bulky bulkhead above the wall cabinets limited storage and made the kitchen feel lower and heavier than it really was.
Our solution
- New cabinetry: Full-overlay J&K Cabinetry in Dove replaced the builder-grade boxes with a more durable, modern solution.
- Bulkhead removed: Taking out the bulkhead allowed larger wall cabinets, giving the homeowners significantly more storage and a cleaner, more streamlined look.
- Hidden storage: At the client’s request we added toe-kick drawers beneath the pantry and base cabinets, plus a tall pantry cabinet and a spice pull-out beside the refrigerator.
- Green backsplash: A dark green subway tile backsplash complements the living room wall color and creates a cohesive flow between spaces.
- Finishing touches: Champagne bronze cabinet handles and freshly repainted walls and ceiling complete the updated design.
The result
The kitchen is now smooth, refined and far more functional, with every inch of wall and base space working harder for daily use and a fresh look that ties into the rest of the home.

FAQ
Kitchen remodeling questions in Annandale, answered
About 4 weeks from start to finish, including removing the bulkhead, installing the new J&K cabinets and quartz countertops, and completing the backsplash and paint.
For this kitchen, yes. The original builder-grade cabinets were deteriorating, and J&K Cabinetry’s full-overlay cabinets provided a more durable, modern upgrade with better storage. Our team can walk you through J&K and other cabinet lines during your consultation.
Often, yes. In this project we removed the bulky bulkhead and used the space for larger wall cabinets. Whether a bulkhead can come out depends on what is inside it — ductwork, plumbing or wiring — which we check before finalizing the design.
Toe-kick drawers are shallow drawers built into the kick space at the bottom of base and pantry cabinets. They turn unused space into storage for items like baking sheets, trays or pet supplies.
We’re based in Arlington and serve homeowners across Northern Virginia — including Alexandria, Annandale, Fairfax, McLean, Vienna, Falls Church and Tysons — as well as nearby Washington, DC and Maryland. Estimates are always free.
