Before
The kitchen felt tight and short on both prep space and useful storage.

Small Kitchen Goes Big
A compact kitchen was reworked to feel more open, hold more, and function better day to day.
The Plan
We rethought the cabinetry, opened the sightlines, and used lighter finishes with storage improvements in the right places.
After
The room now feels larger, works harder, and supports a much easier cooking routine.
Project Details
- Layout planned to make the most of a small footprint
- Lighter finishes used to open the room visually
- Cabinet choices prioritized storage
The Space Before
Ron & Cyndi wanted to update their kitchen. A classic 70's-80's vintage kitchen, it sported a dropped-ceiling, a small doorway into the dining room, and a protruding peninsula. They wanted to stay within the existing footprint, but needed better storage, better access, better quality, and better tie-in to the rest of the home. Having the cabinetry blend with the woodwork in the rest of the home and upgrading to more durable products and surfaces were priorities. The original wood rail around the nook had also gotten wobbly and degraded over the years.
