“Mini Plain Jane to Warm and Welcoming”

It’s that time again for another dose of a “BKB Before and After”.
There are some spaces where any work done to update them is an
improvement no matter how small or insignificant it may seem. Take the
Manhattan kitchen shown below. With no leniency on changing the
footprint, walls, or mechanical hookups our designer had very little
options.

Our client’s countertop space was practically zero and the white
outdated cabinets kept the space light enough however was nowhere near
the class of the rest of the apartment and needed to be brought into the
21st century. The flat panel cabinet doors gave no interest,
decoration, or spark to the room. The microwave sat on a shelf that was
about to collapse and small appliances were all plugged into a surge
protector which is a huge no-no in any kitchen. Obviously, we had to get
our hands on this space to breathe into it new life and safety. See our work.
