This kitchen & family room remodeling project was particularly satisfying for the designers and carpenters at C&R. The homeowner wanted a new kitchen that was true to the home’s historic roots. She also wanted to incorporate current amenities so the kitchen functioned more conveniently. Storage was also an issue.

New custom cabinets replaced the worn and tired cupboards. A moveable island took center stage where the claustrophobic peninsula had stood. Modern conveniences were added to every corner of the room. A pull-out pantry was installed next to the refrigerator and now offers plenty of storage in a compact space. Slide out shelves allow access to every inch of this compact pantry. A built-in hutch complements the kitchen and dining décor. This cabinet allows lovely pieces to be displayed instead of stored. A hidden “breadboard” under the display area provides added convenience when removing or replacing dishes. Spices are kept finger-tip ready in a spice drawer. A clever ‘Magic Corner’ cabinet makes good use of the previously inaccessible space.

This kitchen and family room now functions cohesively and is the activity and entertaining center of the home.
