This very small kitchen had potential, but the builder design included a separate laundry room in the hallway to the garage, making the kitchen very long and narrow and very cramped. In order to gain space in the kitchen, we moved the laundry upstairs, and moved the wall back to get that space into the kitchen. This allowed us to put a bank of cabinetry around the refrigerator on that wall, and also add a peninsula for serving and storage. We wrapped the kitchen in cabinetry in a U-shape, maximizing the counter space and storage space. We even created an appliance garage and wine bottle storage. The backsplash tiles are installed on a diagonal for interest and making the area seem larger. Another nice feature we designed into this kitchen, is a serving drawer on the back of the peninsula, for table cutlery, putting it in a convenient place. The cherry cabinetry is finished in simple mouldings and door panels, giving it a high end cabinet maker's touch.
