This kitchen remodeling project evolved over two years. My client first contacted me after reading about one of my remodeling projects in which we relocated a kitchen into a living room. This gave them the idea of expanding their small galley kitchen into the current family room. To expand the kitchen we needed to build a new family room first. Completing the family room addition allowed us to proceed with the kitchen expansion.

My client had always wanted a large kitchen with all the modern conveniences. The kitchen needed to be bright, have ample room for entertaining while she prepared meals and offer room for sit-down dining. My client is an avid collector of glass and needed room to show off her treasures. Other important features include a desk/work area in the kitchen as well as a desire for a built-in hutch. Keeping costs down was also important on this job.
