A young couple with polar opposite ideas of look and function for this remodel made for a challenging and rewarding project. His thoughts were of a contemporary hotrod diner look and her thoughts were more casual. Both were looking for more space and better function. The easiest first step is to come up with a plan that satisfies the improved space and function. By removing a seldom used closet, the refrigerator was moved across the kitchen to allow for more counter and storage around the sink. We reapportioned the peninsula incorporating seating at one level which created a spot where people can gather or a baker can spread out to create.
