In this bungalow renovation we removed the wall between the kitchen and dining room and remove the door jambs to eliminate the trim and have smooth drywall returns. New Oxford white Shaker cabinets with Berenson hearth door knobs installed over 12 by 24 ceramic tile. we left the newer maple floors in the dining room as they continued through to the main floor living room. The counter tops are Laminate and I have to say laminate has come a long way baby and still the most affordable option. The drop in Blanco Silgranite sink looks more sleek than the standard stainless. The peninsula was colour matched to the desk area. Generally we love to add island but some kitchens are too narrow and the peninsula is the best option. We usually have the back corner cabinet of the peninsula accessed from the dining room for better use of space.
Part of the bungalow renovation is the the main floor bathroom this was actually 2 feet longer and a little large for a kids bathroom, and since the cheater ensuite was so small we eliminated some of the space to enlarge the master. The effect in the kids bath was minimal as there was still enough room for a standard tub, 48" vanity and toilet. Keeping the tile stacked and with a bright aqua glass mosaic, the bathroom is fresh and up to date.
Finally the ensuite.... We closed off the door to the kitchen/back door area, to enlarge the master, with the additional space from the kids bath and using 1 foot from the master bedroom we were able to create a proper ensuite. Making a custom vanity with drawers (middle drawer is a U shaped), there is still a lot of storage, add the medicine cabinet and fully glass corner shower, this space with a window is fully functioning and beautiful to boot!
