1950's Kitchen Remodel

The challenge of combining the kitchen and former dinette area into a family gathering area was successful. The new kitchen accommodates multiple cooks with various, convenient work centers and excellent traffic flow. The primary goal of the design team for the kitchen area remodel was to produce a well designed and fully equipped space, built with high quality materials in a contemporary style that were multi-functional while serving as a gathering spot. The kitchen was designed to aid the cooks with all aspects of food preparation, whether for the family or entertaining. The kitchen space features a renovated side entry that enlarged the opening to the kitchen from 30" to 42", and the former closet space was eliminated and a smaller more functional closet was built in over the stairs to the basement. The step down to the side entry was extended into this space, creating more floor space for guests as well as more inviting view to the kitchen. The kitchen now extends into the dinette as one space, providing and abundance of work centers for multiple cooks. The space features two ovens, including a built in GE Profile Advantium unit that replaced frequently used toaster oven, storage, and an organized message center, all open to the dinette. The homeowners have commented on how they often "giggle" with delight at the transformation when they enter the kitchen each morning.
