Opening up the wall to create a larger kitchen brought in more outdoor lighting and created a more open space. Glass door lighted cabinets create display for the clients china.
This kitchen was really fun to create. The house is an old charmer in the heart of the city and ripe for updates and renovation. These clients started with the kitchen and will work out from there. We kept the old pantry space but added in a stained glass window that had been taken out of their home a previous year. The small touch of red, which is one of may favourite colours, provides a nice contrast with the two toned blue cabinetry. We ripped out much of the drywall to properly insulate and move old plumbing pipes into the wall that were previously outside of walls in older homes. This provided more clean useable space in the pantry. We kept the layout similar to what they had but streamlined it a bit with instead of the odd angles they had before which made cabinet space awkward to get to or use. We talked about colour and we both felt a bold indigo blue in the pantry would feel like a jewel of a space warmed up with wood counters and a softer pale blue/grey in the main kitchen area would feel clean and serene.
By removing a wall between a previously unused corner of the room and the adjacent hall, the space was immediately enlarged visually without any square footage. The corner was re-purposed for a pantry and eat-in bar, which can be moved and used as an additional preparation surface.
