Kitchen

This is a big job. I want to add significantly more counter space to work and storage in my tiny kitchen last remodeled in the early '90s.

I want to open up the kitchen by having a dining area at the counter. I'd like the counter to be aesthetically interesting like having a triangular or a round angle at the end, not just the normal rectangular shape.

I'd like the kitchen to be very contemporary, possibly white cabinets and stainless steel appliances.

This window needs to be shortened and moved up to allow lower storage cabinets. On the other side, there are bricks. It's facing the street and next to my front entry door.
