As recent empty-nesters these clients transformed dreams of a new kitchen into reality. Like many homes this kitchen was secluded from the rest of the home with a dysfunctional layout, unnecessary soffits and dated materials. We opened the wall between the dining and kitchen to unite the two spaces. We created an island that gave the clients more counter space and storage while providing seating for 2. This transformation unified the home into a highly functional space to be enjoyed for years to come.
