There was no counter space or storage. The pantry was in the garage.. By removing the book case that was used for dishes and replacing it with the refridgerator and placing floor to ceiling cabinets with pull out shelves, one side for pantry and the other for dishes and glassware,created the kitchen triangle.On the left of the sink is the dish washer which is made to look like draws and so it the under sink . This simplifying the lines and gives uniformity. New recessed lighting really brightens the space.
