Happily Ever After Kitchen
Renovating a kitchen can be a daunting task for any home owner. It was very hard to imaging this “before” kitchen becoming such a happily ever after kitchen! In this case, we revised the layout of the appliances to improve the work triangle, improve the view into the kitchen from the entry hall, convert a large closet into an entertainment counter (previous post), transform the eating area into a island work space/serving counter/eating counter, and replace the double windows with french doors leading out to a new deck, adding ample outdoor living space (future post). This major improvement was done on a moderate budget. Consider your budget before you begin the project for optimum results. (click on photo to enlarge)
Before, the side of the refrigerator closed in the approach to the kitchen from the entry hall.
After, the open counters make the transition area in and out of the kitchen more spacious.
Before, the sink was on a corner, with the dish washer to the left, stove to the right.
After, the large deep sink was nestled under the window, with the d/w and fridge relocated to the right. The stove, now on the left, has ample counter on either side.
Before, the table was only useful for dining, placed under the window to be out of the way.
After, a multipurpose island replaced the table, storage was carried all the way into the empty corner, and doors lead to a new outdoor living area.
