Metal cabinets original to this 1955 home provided inadequate storage and very poorly planned work areas. The kitchen was lit by one fluorescent light fixture. The homeowner had attempted to bring in more light by installing a bay window. Sharing the kitchen with the laundry resulted in the dryer becoming landing space with the oven range. This family needed space!

The client wanted the new kitchen to have light, be open to the rest of the house and connect to the outdoors. Good storage and work areas were important and frequent entertaining was to be accommodated.

Storage and counter space was created at the work centers, each appliance has landing space on each side of it and entertaining is fun and people friendly with room for multiple helpers in the work area. The kitchen has become the center of living and entertaining that the homeowner needed.
