This kitchen was very small and also closed off to the dinning room and living room with a door, we explored the possibility of adding a larger room addition but in order to stay within the desired budget range we decided to expand the kitchen and family room 2 feet out and open the wall where the door was located an additional 2 feet.
The result is a open feeling to the dinning room and a kitchen that feels much larger with more cabinet and counter-top space.
