The owners of this home in Newton, MA, were happy with the house, the neighborhood, and the commute to Boston, but the kitchen and powder room area was a big problem both aesthetically and functionally. It had gotten so bad, in fact, that the wife was removing the doors to all the upper cabinets to eliminate as much of her dislike as possible. When Red House finally started construction, almost all of the doors had been removed and stored in the shed out back. This client wanted an open, airy feel to the kitchen; she wanted to avoid any upper cabinets with solid doors, and she had to have inset cabinets. These were were the priorities in the design of the kitchen. What she ended up with was an open and bright kitchen with an eat at island, beautiful glass display cabinet, open shelves, and an incredibly functional working kitchen by Red House.
