This project started by knocking down an exterior wall and expanding the existing kitchen another five feet. The difference is dramatic! Then, we opened the kitchen up to the great room and created a wet bar area where an enclosed pantry used to be. The big, bright, white kitchen is night and day different from the small and dark builder-grade space that was there! Lastly, the giant sliding door to the new deck brings in a ton of light, and the new deck is beautiful and inviting.
