Before
Heavy finishes and older color choices made the kitchen feel darker and more dated than the rest of the home.

The Space Before
The original kitchen in Clem & Laura's place was a fairly large, honey oak, builders kitchen; all the rage at the time. Although it had some upgraded features, the design was a bit disjointed. The sink was placed in what would have normally been the eating nook, seperated from the rest of the kitchen by the back door. Lots of walking was a constant. Continuity was non-existent, the desk space was mostly unusable, the microwave was too high, and the eating table in the center of the space was a constant obstacle to maneuver around.
