As with most older homes, the kitchen in this brick ranch house was cramped and dark, with arched raised-panel oak cabinets, black appliances and very limited space for cooking and storage. The removal of a wall created an open floorplan between kitchen and family room, and the addition of a center island provides ample space for meal prep and eating.

Medallion Cabinetry: Potter's Mill flat-panel door style, London Fog paint on perimeter cabinets; Celeste paint on island.

Top Knobs pewter antique cup pulls and knobs.
