This was my very first remodel. It took me one year to design. The space was very tight as it is a downtown condo in Philadelphia. I stole a little room from the foyer closet which allowed me to recess the frig a bit. I worked with an outstanding contractor/master carpenter who figured out how to work with all of the inconsistencies in the kitchen. My cabinet maker was a Pennsylvania Dutch craftsman - incredible quality. Cabinets are painted maple and bar is solid cherry. Quartz countertops - the best! Very inviting now.
