Realigned Design

When their existing cabinetry started wearing out, this mature couple decided to replace it, and wanted to expand the footprint by a few inches to gain a little more workspace and make it easier to access items in the corner cabinets. At the same time, they wanted to improve the closet at the back entry. By re-thinking the entire layout, we were able to double the storage capacity, and make it all easy to access. The new galley layout eliminates the tight corner storage, and the new location for the dining room entry improves the view. Special features, like glass-doored cabinets for displaying precious keepsakes, roll-outs and pull-outs were incorporated to make use of every inch of space. The closet at the back entry was re-designed to improve shoe and accessory storage. Luxury vinyl tile flooring is low maintenance, and the glass-sheet backsplash eliminates scrubbing grout lines.

By changing the small u-shaped kitchen layout to a galley, all storage is now easily accessed, and passage between kitchen and eating area is more convenient.

A narrow pull-out pantry between the fridge and wall accomplishes two functions...it allows the fridge door to open fully, and provides handy access to frequently-used small items.

Eliminating the peninsula created a brighter, more open space and deleted corner storage that was difficult to access. Shallow full-height units provide extra storage for canned goods, and a handy broom closet for quick clean-ups.

The original u-shaped kitchen layout was crowded and had limited storage that was accessible. Tight corners were hard to get into, and the peninsula blocked light and conversation. Moving the entry to the diningroom around the corner provided ample space for appliances, easy-to-access storage,...

A few extra inches of width, a new light fixture, and soft white cabinetry gives this back entry a brighter, more spacious feel.

Cubby holes and roll-out shoe trays converted this inadequate closet area into a neat, organized mudroom. At the end of the closet, the pantry full of roll-out shelves maximizes accessable storage, and blocks drafts from the back door and garage entries.
