When it comes to remodeling kitchens in Lincoln, Nebraska, Ashland Oak has a clear philosophy: blend practical design with timeless style—and always exceed expectations. In this recent kitchen remodel, we helped a local homeowner turn a dark, outdated space into a bright, functional centerpiece of their home. And the star of the show? Clean, white cabinetry that completely transformed the look and feel of the room.

Before: A Well-Loved Kitchen Needing a Modern Touch

The original kitchen had solid bones, but its warm wooden cabinets made the space feel darker and smaller than it really was. Like many homes built in the late 90s and early 2000s, it had a layout that worked—but finishes that hadn’t kept up with modern preferences. The homeowner loved the layout but was ready for a brighter, fresher look.

After: A Brighter, More Spacious Feel with White Cabinetry

White cabinets were the game-changer. By replacing the old wooden fronts with sleek, soft-close white cabinetry, we gave this kitchen a fresh start. The lighter color reflects more light, making the entire space feel bigger, cleaner, and more inviting—something every homeowner wants in a busy family kitchen.

Designed for Real Life

At Ashland Oak, we never sacrifice function for style. Every cabinet, drawer, and finish was chosen with real-life usage in mind. The result is a clean, modern kitchen that’s easy to maintain, packed with smart storage, and built to stand up to everyday life in Nebraska.

We also made sure this remodel could handle seasonal shifts in humidity and temperature—a common concern in the Lincoln area. That’s why we use high-quality materials and finishes that perform year-round.

Why White Cabinets Still Reign Supreme in 2025

If you’ve been on the fence about a kitchen update, this project proves that white cabinetry is more than just a trend—it’s a design investment. Here’s why it works:

• Brightens the space even in lower-light homes

• Pairs with any color scheme—perfect if you plan to update countertops or floors later

• Timeless aesthetic that appeals to future buyers

• Easy to personalize with hardware, backsplash, and décor
