This newer builders kitchen was up to date, had space, but was not well laid
out. The homeowners wanted to have lighted display space for their collection
of glass and porcelain, and to have more seating for the family. There was a
plain column supporting the upstairs, and a short wall dividing it from the
family room. We replaced the column with a decorative column, and removed the
short wall to the family room, replacing it with cabinetry and a counter top
that can also be used for serving. These are installed in a beveled curve to
match the former wall shape, and to echo the shape of the upstairs wall. We
enlarged the island and added seating at the end facing the family room, and
beveled it to match the contour of the cabinets facing the famly room. There
is also space for a bistro table in front of the bay window. We installed a
flat panel TV for the wife to view while cooking, since the family room TV is
too far away. We also installed a glass door to the basement, so it allows light
into the basement. |
