This small townhouse kitchen was functional, but there was a wall of wasted
space on the dining room side, and it felt very cramped back in the corner of
the home. To open it up to the dining room, we removed the wall between the
two rooms, and created a U-shaped work space, with new stove, sink and dishwasher,
and a pantry wall of cabinets surrounding their old refrigerator, that gave
them the pantry they did not have, as well as more storage overall. We created
an eating counter peninsula in place of the wall we removed, which gives them
serving space as well as additional storage cabinetry. We removed the soffits
above to make space for full height cabinetry all around. The full granite backsplash
gives this kitchen an elegance that makes it fine to show off to dinner guests.
We added a few special touches with the small open shelves on the side of the
stove, which needed covering on the side, and the decorative wood carving over
the refrigerator helps break up the cabinetry. We designed the peninsula so
the passage to the dining room would be wider than it had been, thereby making
the flow between the rooms easier. |
