AFTER: the new stair replaces the breakfast table. Existing brick veneer remained inside the stairwell, and most of the wall at the dining room was removed to open up the spaces. The short hallway to the foyer is just to the left, so the new 12" deep counter and cabinets provide a nice place to drop your cell phone or keys when coming home.

The reinvented kitchen has casement windows now, and has been consolidated toward the front of the old kitchen's area. An island with counter overhang takes on the duty of breakfast table.

From the new kitchen window, the bend in the Potomac River can be seen through the trees.

AFTER: this window, at new sink, replaces the double-hung window over the original washer and dryer. The new kitchen utilized the old mudroom. The washer and dryer were relocated to a new closet where the top of the staircase used to be.
