Family Inspired Hinsdale KitchenTraditional Kitchen, Chicago
The existing kitchen was dated and had many flaws that needed some attention. The kitchen was an interior kitchen with natural light only in the eating area. The work triangle was very small for a very active family. The homeowner was an avid cook and the kitchen did not function well for her large family gatherings.
The wall was opened up into the eating area to bring more natural light into the space. An existing wall between the kitchen and butlers pantry was removed to enlarge the kitchen.
The new space incorporated multiple work areas. A peninsula was added with a prep sink for guests to use and seating on one side facing the kitchen. A full island was incorporated with seating on the opposite side to give total seating for eight people just in the kitchen alone. A drop-down baking area with a pull-up mixer stand was incorporated to accommodate the shorter homemaker who loved to bake.
