A Kitchen Transformed

Mike & Becki's Kitchen The Process

We decided to change up the floor plan in the kitchen, Becki was tired of the peninsula that cut off the traffic flow to the adjoining family room. She was ready for a more open plan. So we configured a good sized island with room for seating on the end and converted a closet pantry into a built in pantry with pull out shelves. For even more storage we added a pull out pantry next to the fridge. We wanted a more contemporary look, so we used a cool stainless steel hood over the gas range and moved the microwave to the island. Everyone loves the built in microwave drawer. A pullout double trash cabinet is also situated on the island, conveniently located near the sink and the range. Rounding out the project is a beautiful fireclay farmhouse sink.
