This was a complete kitchen transformation including a rear addition and bay window. The 'before kitchen' was cramped and never extended to the rear yard cutting off the sunlight. The new rear addition expanded the overall usable footprint with two islands, ample prep space, breakfast room with window seating. The palette was intended to be light, transformative yet warm against stained oak flooring. A mix of paint colors and metal finishes helped scale this linear space commonly found in city row homes. The cabinets in the breakfast room served as extra kitchen storage and closet space for the kids bookbags.
