This kitchen was in a time warp! The first thing to go was a peninsula that cut the room in half. Now it is a large, open space with the dining area being an integral part of the kitchen. I also removed an exterior door to the left of the window that opened to a patio. A door in the living room opens to the same patio, so valuable counter space was gained with the removal of the kitchen door. The old cabinets were finished in a dull brown stain. The newly designed kitchen features white lacquer cabinets with a pair of glass upper doors that show off the client’s china and glassware. I installed 3000K LED recessed ceiling lights, as well as under counter lighting, for a light, airy space in which to cook and share meals with family and friends.
