The original galley kitchen on the main level of this rowhouse was cut off from the living and dining spaces. We removed two brick walls to bring natural light into the kitchen and connect it to the other rooms. The kitchen has whitewall shaker-style cabinets and a pale gray island base. A wall of shallow cabinets provides additional storage. We angled the door that leads to the basement for easier access. Large wood and metal pendants add a dramatic touch to the room.
