ideas kitchen remodeling

I have huge deck adjacent to my small kitchen. Trying to see if I can find a design to somehow expand the kitchen with huge windows to allow for lots of sunlight and use the deck area for the dining table.. that additional room may provide me some much needed storage too.. any ideas are welcome please

A "deck" is NOT built to be legal habitable space. If you want that area to be part of your home, it will have to be fully rebuilt, with a foundation, framing, insulation, windows, and everything else required of a house.

Post your layout and where you are re weather. I just did a Reno with a plan to use the outdoor deck as dining and outdoor kitchen with some storage of things. . Ie has to be stuff that can be stored in an outdoor cabinet and survive winter. But big stainless steel pots / outdoor glasses / plates tools stuff . As our deck is very coveted it can be used almost year round. We have a high pass through window. Huge doors. Several paths of entry. Wonderful to cook on and out.
