This
large kitchen addition is the result of adding an additional corner to the existing
floor plan, by putting on an addition on the back of the home. The original
kitchen was in an "L" shape, so we incorporated the additional space
from the outside, making it into a rectangle. We added the sliding glass doors
in the new addition space, and put in a work desk in that space, as well as
the family's eating area. The island serves as a preparation and serving area,
and there is ample counter space in the wrap around space against the wall.
We also integrated the color pallette into the rest of the family room by putting
the tall cabinets with matching granite tops as a peninsula dividing the family
room from the kitchen. This home had been previously remodeled, as is indicated
by the main support beam just over the range hood, and we conntected the entire
space with the sunroom off of the family room. There is an open traffic flow
throughout the three rooms. The homeowners chose professional stainless steel
appliances throughout the kitchen, including the dishwasher in the island area.
The space is tied together with metallic accent tiles with a grape vine motif,
that runs through the backsplash. The light tones of the cabinetry and the hardwood
flooring are contrasted with the dark granite countertops. The adjacent family
room was also remodeled with drywall replacing the 1970's dark walnut paneling
and ceiling beams, so that all of the space is now much brighter, for a space
that is on the back of the home and in perpetual shade. |
