A Fresh Start in Hagerstown: Transitional Design Meets Custom Craftsmanship
Explore this Hagerstown, MD kitchen remodel featuring Sherwin-Williams Interesting Aqua cabinetry, real brick veneer, and custom design by Premier Kitchens & Baths.
At Premier Kitchens & Baths, we believe every kitchen tells a story — and this one in Hagerstown, Maryland is about balance: style meeting function, color meeting warmth, and creativity meeting craftsmanship. What began as a cramped, awkward layout became a custom-designed space that feels open, intentional, and full of character.

The Challenge
The original kitchen layout was doing the homeowners no favors. The dishwasher and cooktop were nearly touching, making cooking and cleanup a daily obstacle course. A drafty downdraft vent let in cold air from outside, the refrigerator intruded into the walkway, and plenty of wall space sat underused. The homeowners loved their home but were ready for a kitchen that finally worked as hard as they did.

The Vision
The goal was a transitional kitchen — timeless yet current, with custom details and better functionality. The homeowners wanted warmth, color, and a touch of personality. From day one, they had one non-negotiable: a real brick veneer accent wall to bring texture and authenticity to the space.
The Design Plan
We partnered with JMG Fine Cabinetry and Home Co. to bring the vision to life. The custom cabinetry, painted Interesting Aqua by Sherwin Williams, brightens the space while keeping it calm and welcoming. To balance the color, Knotty Alder wood accents with a custom stain add warmth and texture.

We replaced the separate cooktop and wall ovens with a freestanding range, opening up counter space and simplifying the flow. The dishwasher moved to the left of the farm sink, creating a smoother prep zone. At the center of it all, a custom hood anchors the space above a blue floral decorative tile backsplash, a focal point that brings soft pattern and personality.
Smart Space Solutions
Great design is about the details that make daily life easier.
- Pull-out spice rack and pots-and-pans organizer keep essentials at your fingertips.
- A floor-to-ceiling pantry with roll-out trays replaced the old stick-built version.
- A recessed pantry cabinet was built into the cavity beneath the stairs for additional storage.
- Behind the refrigerator, a slim broom closet puts unused inches to work.
The Finishing Touches
A furniture-style sink base and matching coffee station bring a handcrafted look that ties the cabinetry together. Glass cabinet doors lighten the layout, while the brick veneer wall the homeowners insisted on from the start became the heart of the room — rich, tactile, and grounding.
The Result
The new kitchen is a seamless blend of form and function — bright yet cozy, efficient yet full of charm. By combining thoughtful layout changes with one-of-a-kind custom features, this remodel turned an everyday kitchen into a statement of craftsmanship and comfort.
