Turning the drab into beauty.

We took the the room next door to the right and halved it to give our new kitchen more space. also used the back of that extra space to create a open walk through pantry...and that's where that extra window in the far right comes from.

    Beautiful. Love the color palette. Doesn't look even remotely like the same space. Nice work!

      It really is hard to tell that its the same space. I love your choice of color as well.
