Sue's New Kitchen & Living Space

This Split Level home from the 1960s got a bit of a facelift in a reconfigured kitchen and adjoining living space. Once a dark and tiny kitchen hidden away behind a wall with a postage stamp dining area that spilled into the living room. Taking down the wall and adding a doorway on the load-bearing wall opened up the space and let light in without adding cost. Another great team effort with the husband acting as the contractor and the wife buddying up with me on design decisions, we were able to keep the costs down and spend a little more on the beautiful Quartzite countertops. They can easily fit 6 at the counter and still have room to cook to their hearts content! The adjoining living space has a good start with a quality sofa, carpet, comfy chair, console and drapery. New windows are soon to come along with roman shades and some side tables. But for now, this feels good.
