A 216 square feet (8’x 27’) addition was the ideal solution for creating this spacious kitchen and dining room. Structural posts and beam, wrapped in decorative trim, open up the once divided rooms while tying in nicely with the dining room coffered ceiling. New sink windows and a large French door let in plenty of natural light. A corner pantry with glass pocket door efficiently uses otherwise wasted space below upper stairs. The kitchen features a “U” shape layout with a large island that seats 5. The combination of the red range, eggplant and white cabinets and classic marble tile all effectively convey the country look desired.
