The talented artisan's home .... AFTER

The original kitchen was quite small and the family large. The breakfast nook was next to the dining room causing two tables to be almost side by side. A small opening into the family room wasn't letting the space become a "great" room.
Well, take down a couple of walls and you have a something to work with. The breakfast nook is now a long island that cements the baking area and creates a larger kitchen. With a prep sink added to the long island it now allows interaction between family room and kitchen. Small island serves as a needed landing/prep area for the refrigerator and main sink. Storage and function are improved in the new kitchen. See before and after blog for photos. Contractor Aaron Chapman Builders for cabinet install.
