This Cary, NC home was the typical spli-level built in the 1970s. It was dark, tired, and divided into small closed off areas. The homeowners asked Wood Wise to come up with a more open plan that would make it an inviting place to host large family dinners. Wood Wise designer Kathy Walker offered several design options. The homeowners chose this open airy plan that expanded the kitchen into the existing dining room area. Removing walls and moving the dining room area into the former living room help this area feel large. Careful attention to storage options around the Wolf range and plenty of continuous counterspace are just two of the many reasons this kitchen is the homeowners' dream come true..
